*Weather data supported* A versatile humidity calculation app for everyone from general users to engineers — also suitable for agricultural applications. This app allows you to easily calculate indicators such as the Discomfort Index, WBGT (estimated heat stress index), Volumetric Absolute Humidity (an important indicator for influenza prevention), and Humidity Deficit (HD) used in agriculture, using weather data. You can also calculate a wide range of air properties from dry-bulb temperature (normal air temperature) and wet-bulb temperature obtained from ventilated psychrometers such as the Assmann psychrometer.
Atmospheric pressure can be entered manually. The app supports 12 indicators across 16 calculation items, and unit conversion between Celsius/Fahrenheit and SI/Imperial units can be performed instantly by switching the temperature unit setting. ■ High-Precision Calculation Engine This app uses the Wexler–Hyland equations combined with numerical analysis, enabling highly accurate and stable calculations across a wide range of environmental conditions. ■ Calculable Indicators * Wet Bulb Temperature * Dew Point Temperature * Frost point temperature * Relative Humidity * Humidity Ratio(Absolute Humidity) * Mass-based absolute humidity * High-resolution mass-based absolute humidity * Volumetric absolute humidity * Humidity Deficit (HD) * Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) * Enthalpy * Specific Volume * Saturation Vapor Pressure * Water Vapor Partial Pressure * Boiling Point of Water * WBGT (Estimated value) * Discomfort Index (DI) Supplementary Notes on WBGT & Discomfort Index Outdoor WBGT is defined as: WBGT = 0.7 Tnw + 0.1 Td + 0.2 Tg (°F) Since globe temperature (Tg) is not an input parameter, it is estimated from dry-bulb temperature (Td) using: Tg = 1.45 Td − 27.162 (°F) Td and Tg show a strong correlation (n = 17,376, R² = 0.919). Natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnw) is obtained by converting the measured wet-bulb temperature from an Assmann psychrometer to natural conditions, assuming a wind speed of 98.4 fpm (0.5 m/s) or less. Details of this conversion algorithm are omitted. The Discomfort Index (DI) is calculated as: DI = 0.4 × (Td + Tw) + 15 (°F). ■ Weather Data & Sensors By tapping the Weather Data button, you can obtain current atmospheric pressure, dry-bulb temperature, and wet-bulb temperature. On devices equipped with a barometric pressure sensor, pressing the MEAS button allows direct pressure measurement. Wet-bulb conditions can be set to Normal or Frozen (effective below freezing). Corrected values can also be displayed for non-ventilated psychrometers such as the August psychrometer (ventilated types recommended for accuracy). ■App Ecosystem Integration You can directly receive calculated dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures from the companion app “Calculator of Air”. (Please note that calculations must be performed in Calculator of Air before data can be transferred.) By combining HumidCalc with Calculator of Air, you can, for example, derive multiple air properties from known Enthalpy and Humidity Ratio values. ■Input Ranges * Dry-Bulb & Wet-Bulb Temperature: −22°F to 122°F (−30°C to 50°C) * Atmospheric Pressure: 17.72 inHg to 73.09 inHg (600 hPa to 2475 hPa) * Dew Point: −58°F to 122°F (−50°C to 50°C) * Relative Humidity: 0% to 100% (1% steps) ■Notes When using an August psychrometer, calculations assume an air velocity at the sensing element of 98.4 fpm (0.5 m/s) or less. As a result, calculated values may differ from those listed in humidity tables included with commercial August psychrometers. ■Disclaimer 1. Please use values within reasonable temperature ranges (approximately 32°F to 104°F / 0°C to 40°C). Extremely unusual inputs may produce inaccurate results. 2. While every effort has been made to ensure high precision, minor errors may occur due to floating-point limitations. 3. The developer assumes no responsibility for any damages resulting from the use of this app.

About

Ventify

This app analyzes indoor and outdoor conditions to advise on optimal ventilation for humidity control. It converts relative humidity to absolute values, providing clear recommendations on whether airing out a room is beneficial. Supports HomeKit and automatic weather data retrieval.

Highlights
  • Absolute humidity calculation
  • Ventilation recommendations
  • HomeKit integration
  • Automatic weather data
  • Celsius and Fahrenheit support
  • Sensor integration

Ventify helps you find out whether airing out your room will increase or decrease its humidity. Relative humidity depends on temperature and does not reflect the actual amount of water in the air. However, when ventilating, absolute humidity is what matters. That’s why fresh outside air, even with seemingly low relative humidity, can still raise the humidity indoors. Ventify converts relative humidity into absolute values and gives you a clear recommendation on whether ventilating makes sense. Convenient and automatic: Ventify supports HomeKit, current weather data, and both **Celsius and Fahrenheit**. You can select a room with temperature or humidity sensors, so Ventify automatically uses these values. Alternatively, you can define a location from which weather data is automatically retrieved. This way you save manual input and get results even faster.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: HumidCalc at Free against Ventify's $0.99. HumidCalc also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). Ventify's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
