Barometer & Altimeter
The application uses:
- built-in GPS,
- built-in pressure sensor / barometer (if the device does not have a barometric sensor, application retrieves atmospheric pressure data via the Internet from the nearest meteorological station),
- automatic altitude and atmospheric pressure calibration algorithm, based on data from local meteorological stations.
Barometer and Altimeter features:
- accurate height measurement above sea level (from GPS and other sensors),
- accurate measurement of barometric pressure (if the device is equipped in pressure sensor and check data available online)
- GPS coordinates, name of location, country
- information and current weather data from your local weather station (if available).
- outside temperature,
- wind speed,
- visibility,
- humidity, hygrometer (if device is equipped with appropriate sensors).
Exemplary uses of a barometer or altimeter tracker:
- health and medical - by monitoring the atmosteric pressure, you can be prepared for pressure jumps, headaches, migraine and malaise,
- for fishermen and anglers who fishing and sailing - monitoring the atmospheric pressure and weather you can increase the chances for good fishing,
- sportsmen and tourists,
- for determining, predicting and checking weather, air temperature, wind speed,
- to check the location,
- for pilots for check pressure and altitude,
- sailors, seamans and surfers can check the wind.
Using this barometeter tracker is simpler than using an aneroid or mercury barometer. Our Barometer and Altimeter tracker are free, easy to use, simple and handy.
Warning! Some portable devices (tablets, phones, smartphones) do not have a built-in pressure sensor. On these devices, the measurements may be less accurate as they will be based on data from the local meteorological stations.

This is like the perfect barometer app! There's just the ONE thing: I don't think the graphics style/color is pretty. I'm shallow, what am I going to say?? It just seems like some extras as far as appearance preferences go would make this a 💯 (100!) app. Edit: Oops, the altimeter is crazy, though: I'm staying in same place, but it changes every few minutes. Needs work?
Automatically defaults everything to metric, even though it requires a GPS signal and should know I'm in the US. Every setting has to be individually changed to imperial. The barometer is WAY off, showing 29,2inHg (yes, the app uses commas in numbers), when all local weather reports are showing pressure as 30.25inHg. There are no instructions on how to calibrate this or adjust it in any way. Looks like the developers abandoned this one. Don't bother downloading.
Works fine so far. Don't know if my smartphone has hardware for direct measurement of earth's local magnetic field strength in Teslas - this is in any case outside of the control of the (software) app - but I like that the magnetic field strength is displayed, & also both of magnetic north & true north. True north will require additional input, presumably from GPS satellites. App also helps me decide if smartwatch doing same thing is worth it, both practically & aesthetically. Good app, like it.
Pros: it's the only barometer-altitude measuring app that I found that provides readings in both Sea Level and Station pressures. This was extremely helpful to be sure my measurements for my weather assignment were accurately explained. Definitely appreciated all the variety of units it would report in too. I used it alongside another app. noticed it was much slower to register changes in altitude/struggled operating quickly off of just GPS without cell signal. But did pressure better!
does what describes! when you are trekking, it takes a moment to update the info, but works fine. UPDATED!!! the above is true until you reach 3,500 meters. after that the app is not accurate at all. It stay around 200 to 500 meters below the actual height. I was using this app while climbing high mountains (around 6000 meters) and could not rely on it at all. so if you will use it for fun on average hights it is good, otherwise, it won t work properly.
Live up in EC Andes, travel frequently to other small towns etc. Barometer is always accurate when I check it. Additional data, temp, wind etc was is really nice and an unexpected plus. Has very nice and clean interface also. The ads are minimal so seems pretty ridiculous for anyone to be complaining about them for a free, useful app.
This app. actually works!It seems easy to use as well.I have tried another simple app and I had to install it because my phone didn't have the proper support.I don't think it was worth it even still.The one thing that I noticed with this app was it I have an error notice stating that there was a weak GPS signal,the same as another user. It's only a guess, but it's mine, that it's the app that's the problem.
Just another app to sell ads! Pay for the premium version and still doesn't work. You get the same information on the faster from any free weather app on the internet. Too many junk apps like this.
This app says it requires Android 4.1 and up but it won't run on my Nexus tablet running Android 6.0.1. The program said it couldn't access Wifi or GPS, but both are available on my Nexus (other programs use them). I sent e-mail to exatools to ask if they had any suggestions, but they didn't bother answering. This looks like it would be a nice program if it wasn't flaky.
I'm a land surveyor. My electronic equipment is very sensitive and there are settings on my instuments for temperature and pressure that need to be constantly adjusted to compensate for the changes. This app has everything I need and its quick and easy to get to it.
Quick clear look at current weather. No ads, no mess, no confusion. Barometric reading is good for not only predicting weather change but explains aches and headaches during sudden changes in atmospheric pressure. Elevation reading also gives an idea of possible temperature changes if traveling.
Simple clear interface (yay!) and primary functions appear accurate, within limitations of the phone of course. Ads are not obtrusive but cheap to remove too. A model app.
Wow, what a concept! A (customizable) barometer front end that works with my phone's built-in air pressure sensor, plus other weather observations. A REAL weather station...right in MY pocket!
Altimeter value changes initially from 63 ft to 164 ft even though geographic position is stationary. Barometric pressure indicates "change" although it hasn't changed. Will wait a bit before passing final judgment. Want to see what happens when I change altitude significantly while horizontal position is unchanged.
So far so good. I have a rescue horse that colics during barometric changes (mostly spring /fall) and I try to stay ahead of extreme changes with extra measures. So far this app matches my other devices which is wonderful bc the weather/temperature apps and even tv forecasts are never correct for my area.
This app is ok, but is obviously European. They do that annoying thing where they use a comma , instead of a period . for the decimal point in numbers. If you ask me if you change all of the units to American, like fahrenheit for instance, it should also change the comma to a period for the numbers.
Added this when we were in Colorado for wedding, like others barometer needs go much lower for this area. Hope for better results at home. Altimeter is slow to adjust to change, but seems accurate. Not a pilot.
I have issues with vertigo. I always can tell when there's a pressure change as it affects it and causes ringing in my ears. Now I can check immediately to see what the barometric pressure is! Very helpful.
Reads barometer in my phone relatively accurately but while it offers a setting to adjust barometer it does not allow to adjust altimeter. I am forty four feet above mean sea level but the altimeter reads zero feet or even negative feet for the same barometer reading I get from Weather Underground.
Very clear interface and does what it says on the tin. As a keen fly fisher it will be a great help. Yes, trout do feed in response to changes in air pressure. I note the comment about variability in altitude readings. That's an issue with GPS height and not with this app. Same happens with other map apps where you can sit still and appear to go up and down by as much as 300 ft depending on GPS signal strength, unless of course your phone has an altimeter. I will recommend to my fishing pals.
