Track atmospheric pressure and predict weather changes using your device's built-in barometer. Pascal transforms your iPhone and Apple Watch into precision barometric instruments. Monitor pressure trends, receive storm warnings, and get weather predictions — all computed on-device with no internet required. FEATURES • Real-time pressure monitoring with 12-hour trend charts • On-device weather forecasting using the Zambretti algorithm • Storm alerts via push notifications • Live Activities showing pressure on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Flight mode with cabin altitude tracking • iOS widgets (small, medium, large) and Apple Watch complications • Hybrid calibration system for accurate readings PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking. Location is used only for GPS altitude calibration and is never stored. TECHNICAL Pascal uses Apple's Core Motion framework to access the barometric sensor, delivering sub-Pascal resolution. The hybrid calibration system combines GPS altitude with relative altitude tracking to filter out elevation changes and surface true weather signals.

Perfect for: • fishing and outdoor activities; • weather-sensitive people; • hiking and camping; • monitoring weather changes; • anyone interested in atmospheric pressure. Features: • relative pressure at sea level; • actual pressure at local altitude; • pressure in hPa/mmHg/inHg; • hourly pressure chart; • daily history and forecast chart; • current temperature and humidity; • clean and easy-to-read interface; • support for multiple locations.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Air Barometer at 88% against Pascal Barometer's 50%. Air Barometer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (50 vs 1). Pascal Barometer's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pascal Barometer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air Barometer has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pascal Barometer's written reviews are positive against 88% of Air Barometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pascal Barometer ships an update daily, Air Barometer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
