Our app comes with a brand new application for Apple Watch. There is current ground and MSL pressure available, you can also quickly check your current altitude and weather conditions. Two separate barometer screens - the first one shows pressure at mean sea level, which is what weather stations report; the second one is pressure at ground level at your current position. Devices with built-in sensors will get values from it and for those without sensors, the pressure value is reported by the nearest weather station. You can save any current value to compare pressure from other days. What's coolest is that you can swipe through multiple units and instantly see the pressure in the value you are interested in, including: - pounds per square inch - millibar - hectopascal - kilopascal - millimeter of mercury - bar - inch of mercury With one screen swipe, you can see an altimeter gauge with current values, our precise altitude calculation algorithms (which involve GPS, network services and calibrated pressure sensors) we deliver you the most accurate elevation info as possible, in barometric units or if you prefer, you can swipe over to metric and imperial units. Custom notifications. You can now add time-based notifications: just setup the time and days on which you want to receive notifications with current pressure values and voila. You can also set a pressure level alarm, above or below which the device will warn you. https://mysticmobileapps.com/legal/terms/barometer https://mysticmobileapps.com/legal/privacy/barometer

Pascal turns your iPhone's built-in barometer into a precision pressure instrument. It shows what the air is actually doing, measured on your phone, with no internet required. READ THE TREND See whether pressure is steady, rising or falling, and how fast, using the same 3-hour bands meteorologists use. Falling pressure usually comes before unsettled weather, rising pressure before settled weather. Pascal tells you what it measures, not guesses. ALERTS ON YOUR TERMS • Storm alerts when pressure drops at storm rates • Pressure swing alerts when pressure rises or falls 4, 6 or 8 hPa within 12 hours, with a 60-day swing log • Daily limits and sensitivity you control HISTORY AND ALTITUDE • Pressure and altitude charts over 12 hours, 48 hours or 7 days • Total climb and descent for walks, hikes and drives • Cabin altitude tracking on flights EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK • Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities • Apple Watch app and complications • Built for iPhone Duo: a full instrument panel unfolded, and the complete app on the front screen ACCURATE BY DESIGN Pascal reduces pressure to sea level using your altitude, and checks every GPS altitude against the barometer itself, so changing height or a bad GPS fix never throws your readings off. WORKS OFFLINE, PRIVATE BY DESIGN No internet, no account, no cloud. Everything is measured and stored on your phone. Location is used only to work out your altitude and is never stored or shared. Pascal reports measured pressure changes. It is not a weather forecast or medical advice.
