Wherever you are, Barometer gives you the local atmospheric pressure, directly on your device. With an intuitive and accurate design, Barometer offers a pleasant experience and reliability in its use. Make sure you have turned on your device's location services. The display will show the name of the location and the current air pressure, also indicating the weather conditions. Barometer gives you the possibility to choose the pressure from your device (via the device's pressure sensor if present) or to use the atmospheric pressure of the weather station closest to your location. CHARACTERISTICS • Real-time atmospheric pressure measurement • Device pressure support (device sensor) • Reference needle (track previous pressure reading) • Ability to select the Barometer of the weather station or device • Supported units of measurement in mBar, inHg, mmHg, hPa, kPa, torr • Forecast graph for each location (accessible via In-App purchase) • 3-day daily forecast (accessible via In-App purchase) • Dynamic indication of the forecast in the current time (accessible via In-App purchase) • Maximum and minimum daily pressure indication (accessible via In-App purchase) • Location detection • Weather conditions detection • Search location • Save favorite places (unlimited) • iCloud support • Reliability in its use • Intuitive graphics • Easy to use UNIT OF MEASURE You can easily choose to see the atmospheric pressure measured in: • Millibar (mBar) • Inches of mercury (inHg) • Millimeters of mercury (mmHg) • Hectopascals (hPa) • Kilopascals (kPa) • Torr (torr) SUPPORT If you like the application, don't forget to leave us a review on the App Store.

Barometer Plus app measures air pressure and altitude using your device's built-in barometric pressure sensor. Because air pressure changes usually indicate a weather change, you can use this app to monitor and predict short-term weather variations. People suffering from migraine, headaches, or joint pain can monitor how barometric pressure impacts their mood. Fishermen can monitor the atmospheric pressure for right-time fishing. FEATURES: • The app contains a barometer and altimeter with a personalization graphic in classic analog style. It also displays the current temperature and humidity. • Display barometric pressure (sensor value) or mean sea level pressure (MSLP - value used in weather forecast services or stations). • Units support for pressure: mb, inHg, kPa, atm, Torr, psi, hPa, mmHg. Units for altitude: meter, feet. • Calibrate the barometer using altitude/location from the GPS. Calibrate the altimeter using the nearest airport information/METAR, or manually enter the QNH of the nearest airport. Offset sensor output value. • Measure the height (building/mountain/hiked/climbed) using the "Relative Altitude" feature (can be enabled in the app's Settings). • Notification about pressure change. "Notification custom rule" for you to define how and when the app sends notifications. Notify when air pressure changes indicate that extreme or worse weather may occur. • "Pressure Tracking" and "History Graph" require "Background App Refresh" or "Always Location Service" with "Exact update interval" enabled. • "My Area" allows you to define your frequent stay places, and the app tracks air pressure with location data. • Export history to CSV format and Today widget. • This app is the digital version compared with an aneroid or mercury barometer and can be adjusted to MSLP with additional features. CUSTOMIZABLE: You can change your barometer/altimeter appearance with: • Seven different housing colors. • Black, white or blue disk background. • Four different app backgrounds. • Three different types of needles. • Marker needle for easily monitor. • Dark or light Today widget theme. NOTES: • App only works on devices with a barometer sensor, such as iPhone 6/6s/7/8/X/11/12/13 (including Plus models), iPad Mini 4/Air 2/Pro, or later. • Weather icons on the dial: This only shows the air pressure trend like in an analog barometer. • Each time your device reboots, open the app for tracking with the "Exact update interval" feature work. • You may take the phone/tablet far away from computers, cables, and other magnetic sources to get accurate results. • This app is Pro / Premium version of the "Barometer Plus - Altimeter" app, only difference is all feature unlocked and no ads. If you already use the "Barometer Plus - Altimeter" app and purchased in-app, do not need to purchase this again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Barometer Plus at none against Barometer's 1. Barometer Plus also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (59% vs 34%). Barometer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (144 vs 5). On ads 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
Barometer costs $2.99 and Barometer Plus $3.99 up front. Barometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Barometer Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.
Barometer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barometer has 144 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Barometer's written reviews are positive against 59% of Barometer Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Barometer ships an update every 4 months, Barometer Plus every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
