Barometer Plus app measures air pressure and altitude using your device's built-in barometric pressure sensor. Because air pressure changes usually indicate a weather change, you can use this app to monitor and predict short-term weather variations. People suffering from migraine, headaches, or joint pain can monitor how barometric pressure impacts their mood. Fishermen can monitor the atmospheric pressure for right-time fishing. FEATURES: • The app contains a barometer and altimeter with a personalization graphic in classic analog style. It also displays the current temperature and humidity. • Display barometric pressure (sensor value) or mean sea level pressure (MSLP - value used in weather forecast services or stations). • Units support for pressure: mb, inHg, kPa, atm, Torr, psi, hPa, mmHg. Units for altitude: meter, feet. • Calibrate the barometer using altitude/location from the GPS. Calibrate the altimeter using the nearest airport information/METAR, or manually enter the QNH of the nearest airport. Offset sensor output value. • Measure the height (building/mountain/hiked/climbed) using the "Relative Altitude" feature (can be enabled in the app's Settings). • Notification about pressure change. "Notification custom rule" for you to define how and when the app sends notifications. Notify when air pressure changes indicate that extreme or worse weather may occur. • "Pressure Tracking" and "History Graph" require "Background App Refresh" or "Always Location Service" with "Exact update interval" (paid feature) enabled. • "My Area" allows you to define your frequent stay places, and the app tracks air pressure with location data. • Export history to CSV format and Today widget (paid features). • This app is the digital version compared with an aneroid or mercury barometer and can be adjusted to MSLP with additional features. CUSTOMIZABLE: You can change your barometer/altimeter appearance with: • Seven different housing colors. • Black, white or blue disk background. • Four different app backgrounds. • Three different types of needles. • Marker needle for easily monitor. • Dark or light Today widget theme. NOTES: • App only works on devices with a barometer sensor, such as iPhone 6/6s/7/8/X/11/12/13 (including Plus models), iPad Mini 4/Air 2/Pro, or later. • Weather icons on the dial: This only shows the air pressure trend like in an analog barometer. • Each time your device reboots, open the app for tracking with the "Exact update interval" feature work. • You may take the phone/tablet far away from computers, cables, and other magnetic sources to get accurate results.

You can feel it before it arrives — the headache building behind your eyes, the sinus pressure, the old ache in your joints — and for years everyone has told you it's in your head. Barometric Pressure Tracker shows you the pressure change before it reaches you, so you can see it coming instead of getting blindsided. By the time the pain lands, you're already behind — reaching for medication, canceling plans, pushing through a day you can't focus on. Most weather apps bury pressure three taps deep, and barometer apps just throw a number at you. You don't need another gauge. You need to know what's coming, and whether it's connected to how you feel. Barometric Pressure Tracker takes that guesswork off your shoulders. SEE WHAT'S COMING, NOT JUST WHAT'S NOW • Current pressure and trend in plain language — stable, rising, falling, or a big change ahead • A clean pressure chart that maps the hours in front of you, with the changing windows highlighted • See the day broken into calm and changing windows, so you know when to take it easy • Track pressure for home, work, and the places you travel GET THE HEADS-UP BEFORE THE SWING • Pressure-change alerts that reach you hours before a swing arrives • Set your own sensitivity — major swings only, or every meaningful shift • A daily briefing each morning: today's outlook in one calm line, even on quiet days • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, so the next change is always one glance away FIND OUT IF IT'S REALLY THE PRESSURE • Log how you feel in seconds — headache, migraine, sinus, joint, vertigo, and more • Severity, time, an optional note, a medication toggle — no bloated diary forms • See your symptoms laid right over the pressure curve and spot the pattern yourself • Export a doctor-ready PDF or CSV to bring to your next appointment BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • People whose headaches and migraines seem to track the weather • Anyone with sinus pressure, joint pain, or old injuries that flare before a front • Folks with vertigo or ear pressure who feel "off" when the weather turns • Caregivers keeping an eye on someone who's weather-sensitive • Travelers and commuters who need pressure for more than one place PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account required — start the moment you open it • Your symptom logs stay on your device, not on a server • No data sold, no third-party tracking • Powered by Apple Weather, with pressure in hPa/mbar, inHg, or kPa FREE TO START, PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY Current pressure, today's trend, the 24-hour chart, and quick symptom logging are always free. Pressure Pro unlocks the full picture: the extended 48-hour forecast, pressure-change alerts with custom thresholds, the daily briefing, widgets, your complete symptom history with the pressure overlay, doctor-ready exports, and multiple locations. Pro comes as a weekly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, with a free trial on eligible plans. Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends; your Apple ID is charged at confirmation, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your account settings. Barometric Pressure Tracker is a weather and wellness tool — not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or predict any condition.

See the pressure change before it reaches you — and finally find out whether it's connected to how you feel.
