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.

Barry - Barometric Pressure Forecasts, Alerts, and Symptom Patterns Barry is a barometric pressure companion for people who notice that weather changes may affect how they feel. Whether you track headaches, migraine, sinus pressure, joint aches, fatigue, mood, focus, or general weather sensitivity, Barry helps you see upcoming pressure changes before they arrive. Check your local barometric pressure forecast, watch for sharp pressure drops or rises, and log how you feel so patterns can become easier to spot over time. Barry focuses on pressure movement, not just the weather. A normal weather app can show rain, temperature, or wind, but Barry is built around barometric pressure trends, pressure change windows, and the moments when sensitive users may want extra context before planning their day. Track Local Barometric Pressure Barry shows your local pressure forecast in a clear, simple view. See current pressure, recent movement, and upcoming pressure changes in hPa so you can understand whether pressure is steady, rising, or falling. Use Barry to check: - Current barometric pressure - 24-hour pressure forecasts - 48-hour and 72-hour pressure trends - 7-day and 14-day pressure outlooks with Barry Premium - Lowest-pressure windows - Higher-change periods that may be worth watching Pressure Drop and Pressure Change Alerts Barry can send alerts when pressure is expected to change quickly. Set up pressure drop alerts, pressure rise alerts, or broader pressure change alerts so you can get a heads-up before a high-change window. Premium alert options include: - Rapid pressure change alerts - Custom pressure change thresholds - Falling, rising, or both-direction alerts - Lead time before pressure changes - Evening summaries for tomorrow - Quiet overnight alert options Log Symptoms and Spot Patterns Barry includes quick symptom logging so you can record how you feel alongside the pressure context for that day. Over time, Barry compares your logs with pressure movement to help surface pattern notes. You can log symptoms such as: - Headache - Migraine - Sinus pressure - Joint aches - Fatigue - Mood or focus changes Barry’s insights are based on your own logs and nearby pressure changes. The goal is to help you keep better notes and understand possible patterns, not to diagnose, treat, or predict a medical condition. Built for Weather-Sensitive Planning Barry is useful if you want a simple daily pressure check, a barometric pressure tracker, a migraine weather tracker, a headache pressure tracker, sinus pressure context, or pressure change alerts before sensitive days. Use Barry when you want to: - Check whether pressure is dropping today - See if tomorrow has a high-change pressure window - Compare symptoms with barometric pressure changes - Get alerts before sharp pressure drops or rises - Understand local pressure trends beyond a standard weather forecast - Keep a record of how you feel on high-change weather days Barry is a planning companion, not medical advice. Always use your own judgment and speak with a qualified health professional for medical concerns.
