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).

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.
