Pressure and altitude. Beautifully clear. Barometer turns the built-in sensors on your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch into a clear view of the conditions around you. Check a reading at a glance, follow pressure changes, or explore your altitude as you climb. PRESSURE, IN PERSPECTIVE • Atmospheric and estimated sea-level pressure • Pressure history, trends and changes over time • A pressure-based weather outlook • Optional pressure-change notifications A CLEARER VIEW OF ALTITUDE • Altitude readings and elevation charts • Calibration using a known altitude or available sensor references • Ascent, descent and elevation range • Latitude and longitude • Estimated boiling point of water at the current pressure MADE FOR YOUR DEVICES • A dedicated Apple Watch app • Watch complications and iPhone widgets • Siri and Shortcuts support • Control Center shortcuts • Your choice of measurement units • CSV export for saved measurements Core pressure and altitude measurements work offline using your device’s sensors. Location access enables additional information, including estimated sea-level pressure. Requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or watchOS 26. Available readings depend on your device’s sensors and permissions. Pressure-based weather information is an estimate, not an official forecast.

Free barometer & altimeter — real-time pressure, altitude, 10-day forecasts with migraine alerts, automatic history logging, and CSV export all in one app. The dashboard displays high-precision real-time measurement data, offering peace of mind for mountaineering enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. It uses your device's built-in barometric pressure sensor, motion sensor, and GPS, allowing offline use. It also features real-time trend graphs, making it ideal for observing short-term changes during typhoon approaches, sudden downpours, stair/elevator ascents/descents, or driving uphill. The altimeter lets you simultaneously view readings from three sources—sensor, GPS, and QNH (sea-level corrected pressure)—plus a calibrated value matched to a known elevation such as a trailhead. Each altitude is displayed visually on an arch gauge, and you can tap each source to learn about its characteristics and accuracy. Since barometric pressure and altitude support various units, it can also be used for professional purposes by researchers and academic institutions. Additionally, for those sensitive to weather changes and suffering from migraines or weather-related illnesses, it provides graphs forecasting barometric pressure and weather for the next 10 days, along with headache alert information based on published research, updated every 6 hours. Its graphical, intuitive UI runs smoothly, making it a valuable tool for daily prevention and countermeasures. Furthermore, measured barometric pressure data is automatically stored within the app. It features a background measurement mode that enables measurements even when the app is in the background or asleep. You can view accumulated data and export it to CSV files. It also supports Live Activities in the background, allowing you to view real-time data on Dynamic Island or the lock screen. Beyond the main app, it also works with Apple Watch, letting you instantly check barometric pressure and altitude. An all-in-one, high-performance barometer app covering all present, future, and past information related to barometric pressure. The one-of-a-kind app you never knew you needed—that's "Torr"!! 【Features】 ・Dashboard ・Barometer (Atmospheric pressure data via pressure sensor) ・Altimeter — View altitudes from 4 sources on arch gauges ・Sensor Altitude (absolute altitude from the barometric sensor) ・GPS Altitude (elevation above sea level via satellite positioning) ・QNH Altitude (sea-level corrected barometric altitude) ・Calibrated Altitude (calibration matched to a known elevation) ・Pressure Forecast ・Up to 10 days of nearby sea-level pressure values and weather forecasts ・Pressure graph showing trends like rises and falls ・6-hourly migraine/weather sensitivity alerts based on published research ・History ・Automatic data logging ・Daily history export to CSV files ・Background measurement mode ・Unit settings — 7 pressure units including Torr, hPa, kPa, mBar, psi, inHg, mmHg ・Color theme settings ・Daily pressure forecast notification ・Torr Pro — full 10-day forecast anytime, 30 days of past pressure, pressure alerts, graph widgets, ad-free ・Apple Watch compatibility and complication ・Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets ・Live Activity 【Other】 Some devices may not have a barometric pressure sensor or motion sensor. Please note that in such cases, certain dashboard features may not be available. Location access and an internet connection are required to use the barometric pressure forecast. Location access is required for background measurement. Please submit requests or inquiries via reviews or the support URL.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Barometer for Watch at none against Torr's shown. Torr's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (182 vs 49). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Barometer for Watch sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Torr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Torr holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 49 and 182 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Barometer for Watch's written reviews are positive against 57% of Torr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Barometer for Watch ships an update every 4 months, Torr every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
