### 1/5 — Unzureichend!

*2025-05-29, version 1.4*

Es sind nur vorgegebene Städte nutzbar, daher ist die App völlig sinnlos. Außerdem hängt sie sich sehr oft auf. Dafür sind selbst 0,99 EUR zu viel. Sofort wieder gelöscht, aber eben Geld eingebüßt - sehr ärgerlich! 😡

### 1/5 — Error Code 76 server down

*2015-08-01, version 1.0*

Just blew $3 on this app. The error code is in German. Says the GPS is unable to load data then gives error code. Refund, please.

### 1/5 — Do No Buy

*2015-05-17, version 1.0*

Since I bought it it has not worked, it gives me an error code 76 (cannot connect to the server at this time check back in a day or two). I contacted customer service and never got a response.

### 5/5 — I love this!

*2014-04-04, version 1.0*

I'd never heard of Goethe's barometer, so I'm kind of fascinated with the display! I got the app because low pressure triggers headaches for me and I wanted to track it as I am tracking my headaches.  What I didn't know when I first got the app is that once you know the Hg level at which your headache tends to start, you can enter it and the app will tell you when it gets that low (you have to open the app, though, it's not a badge).  Also...I've been able to get my local (US) pollen level on it, even though it says you can't. So try anyway!

### 4/5 — Most comprehensive app featuring barometric pressure

*2014-02-15, version 1.0*

Wish the pollen count could be for US, too and the barometric pressure forecast showed the week (so one could compare the previous day as well as the next day).  Otherwise, this app is loaded with weather related information that I other apps do not feature.  Also really like that there is a headache setting, though would be better if there was an alert when the pressure reached that point.  Really easy to set preferences and find information.

### 1/5 — Absturz

*2013-06-16, version 1.0*

Die Barometer-App stürzt ständig ab und hat den Namen "Goethe" wirklich nicht verdient. Sie muss also noch massiv verbessert werden. 
Rausgeschmissenes Geld. Leider.
