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 medically grounded headache alert information 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 medical evidence ・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 ・Torr Pro plan for ad-free experience ・Apple Watch compatibility ・Lock screen widget ・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.
Elevation Map
This app calculates air pressure, temperature, and oxygen levels based on altitude, and provides mountain weather forecasts. It simulates the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve to help users understand blood oxygen saturation at different heights. Access global elevation data and visualize it with a color map.
- Altitude-based air pressure and temperature calculation
- Oxygen content and partial pressure prediction
- Blood oxygen saturation simulation
- Global elevation data query
- Mountain weather forecasts
- Elevation color map visualization

As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases, the boiling point of water decreases, the oxygen content in the air decreases, and the oxygen partial pressure decreases. When we climb higher mountains or go to high altitude areas, this knowledge is what we need to know. Elevation Map-Mountain Weather app uses the relationship between altitude and air pressure, air temperature, and oxygen, and uses altitude to calculate air pressure, air temperature, and oxygen or calculate altitude by air pressure. At last, the app provide mountain weather forecast for 7178 mountains in the world. According to the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, healthy people can maintain normal blood oxygen saturation at an altitude of 3000 meters or even 4000 meters and 5000 meters. However, when the pH drops, the body temperature rises or other reasons will reduce the oxygen affinity, the blood oxygen saturation will drop to an abnormal range at this altitude, causing hypoxia. The app simulates the dissociation curve to help users analyze the influence of body temperature and PH on blood oxygen saturation, and predict blood oxygen saturation at different altitudes. The Elevation Map-Mountain Weather app provides global elevation data, which can be queried on the map or by input longitude and latitude value. Under the query results, you can set the sea level temperature and air pressure to calculate the air pressure, air temperature, boiling point, oxygen content, oxygen partial pressure, and blood oxygen saturation at the elevation. An elevation color map is also provided to visualize global elevation distribution. The Elevation Map-Mountain Weather app is divided into the following five parts: 1. Current: Combining GPS, device barometer, and real-time weather at the current location, get the current location's altitude, air pressure, water boiling point, oxygen content and blood oxygen. 2. Map: Move the map to get the elevation of any location, and calculate the air pressure, air temperature, boiling point, oxygen content, blood oxygen of the location given the sea level air pressure temperature combined with the altitude 3. Tools: The tool part mainly has 6 functions: 1. Elevation search 2. Altitude list 3. Altitude calculate 4. Oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve 5. Blood oxygen log 6. Elevation Color Map 4. Mountain Favorite mountain and mountain weather forecast at different elevation。 Disclaimer:(Mountain weather forecast) This application is not dedicated to predicting various sudden weather disasters in mountainous areas. It mainly informs about meteorological factors that always exist and change with altitude, such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, oxygen content, etc. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE APP BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, LOST PROFITS, INDIRECT OR OTHER DAMAGES.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Elevation Map at none against Torr's shown. Elevation Map also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (67% vs 56%). Torr's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (178 vs 23). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Torr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Elevation Map sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Elevation Map holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Torr has 178 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Torr's written reviews are positive against 67% of Elevation Map's.
Torr ships an update weekly, Elevation Map every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
