Barometer vs Barry

Barometer shows the current air pressure from your iPhone's built-in sensor on a simple analog dial. The needle points to the current reading, with the exact value shown in hPa below. No setup, no account — just open the app. FEATURES • Live atmospheric pressure from your device's barometer • Clean circular dial with an animated needle • Clear numeric reading in hPa • Simple dark interface Handy for sailors watching for weather changes, keeping an eye on the forecast, or just seeing the current pressure.

Hyper-local weather, for when you need to know exactly what's happening near you. Barry is built around the barometer, the radar and the wind at your field, and it tells you in plain words what they mean. See it coming See when the weather will reach you and how hard it will hit. The barometer has been a forecasting tool for centuries because it works. When pressure falls, something is coming, and the faster it falls, the stronger it will be. Barry reads the last three hours at the station nearest you and puts it in a sentence, so you can make the call on what's happening where you are. Line the pressure chart up with the radar forecast to see what's moving in and when. A radar you make your own Start with the radar and add what you want to see: fronts, pressure lines, wind, lightning, station reports. Most weather apps stop at the rain. Barry also shows the front it's riding on and the pressure behind it, and those tell you where weather is forming and where it's headed. Play back the last six hours, then run the forecast up to twelve hours ahead. Pick your altitude See the clouds, winds and temperatures at every altitude over your field, with icing and turbulence marked. Find the bases and tops, and the altitude with the better wind and the smoother ride, before you go. Check the crosswind Barry works the latest wind report out for every runway at your field and picks the one the wind favors, with its headwind, its crosswind and what the gusts add. It looks twelve hours ahead too, and tells you if the crosswind will pick up or another runway will take over. Density altitude is on the same page, for now and later in the day. And the rest The temperature now, today's high and tonight's low, hour by hour for the next day. Lightning nearby. An alert when the pressure starts dropping fast. Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a Live Activity to keep an eye on it. An Apple Watch app whose complications lead with the altimeter setting. On iPad, a dashboard sized to sit on your kneeboard. Where it comes from All the weather is from NOAA: the Aviation Weather Center, the HRRR and NBM models, MRMS radar and the GOES lightning mappers. It covers the lower 48 states. No ads, no account to make, and Barry doesn't track you. Barry Pro Barry is free with the dashboard and the radar.
