Barometer Plus vs Eclipse Timer
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Barometer Plus
This app utilizes your device's barometer sensor to measure air pressure and altitude, helping you monitor and predict short-term weather changes. It also allows users to track how pressure impacts mood and optimize fishing conditions. The app offers extensive customization and historical data tracking.
- Barometer and altimeter with analog display
- Temperature and humidity display
- Pressure and altitude unit conversion
- GPS and METAR calibration
- Relative altitude measurement
- Pressure change notifications
- Pressure tracking and history graph

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" 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. • 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. • This app is Pro / Premium version of the "Barometer Plus - Altimeter" app, only difference is all feature unlocked and no ads. If you already use the "Barometer Plus - Altimeter" app and purchased in-app, do not need to purchase this again.

Eclipse Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Eclipse Timer computes precise contact times for solar eclipses at any location you choose — down to the second. Pick an eclipse from a catalog spanning 1900 to 2100, drop a pin on the map or use your GPS, and instantly see when each phase of the eclipse begins and ends at your exact location. FEATURES • Browse 200+ solar eclipses from 1900 to 2100 — total, annular, partial, and hybrid — with search and filtering by year, date, type, or catalog ID. • Tap the map, drag a pin, or use GPS to set your observer location. The engine computes results for your precise coordinates. • View all five contact times (C1, C2, Greatest Eclipse, C3, C4) in both UTC and your local time zone. See eclipse type, magnitude, and duration of totality or annularity at your chosen spot. • Live countdown timer shows days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the next eclipse event for the selected eclipse. • Set notification reminders for eclipse contacts — one hour before, ten minutes before, or at the moment of each event. Choose between system sounds, vibration, or spoken voice (TTS) alerts. • Interactive map overlays show the eclipse's visible path and central line so you can see where totality or annularity occurs. • NASA preview animations let you visualize each eclipse before it happens. • Save favorite locations for quick access across different eclipses. HOW IT WORKS Eclipse Timer uses the classical Besselian elements method — the same mathematical framework used by professional astronomers — to compute local eclipse circumstances. The engine evaluates polynomial shadow geometry at your observer coordinates to determine exactly when the moon's penumbral and umbral shadows reach your location. All computation happens on your device. Your location is never sent to any server. PRIVACY Eclipse Timer requests location access only when you choose to use GPS. Your coordinates stay on your device and are used solely to compute eclipse times. The app contains no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no user accounts. See our full privacy policy for details. Whether you're planning a trip to see totality, checking if a partial eclipse will be visible from your backyard, or exploring historical eclipses — Eclipse Timer gives you the precise timing data you need.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Eclipse Timer at Free against Barometer Plus's $3.99. Eclipse Timer also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). Barometer Plus's advantage is chart position (#122 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
