Barometer Reborn for iPhone

The iOS version is in preparation and is not on the App Store yet. This page is the straight answer to “is there an iPhone version”, and what it will do when it arrives.

Make sure you have the right app. Our iOS version is not on the App Store yet — when it is, this page will link straight to it. Whichever barometer app you install, check the developer name on the listing: ours is published by Tomas Hubalek, the same developer as the Android app. Several developers publish barometer apps under similar names, and the developer line is the one reliable way to tell them apart.

What the iOS version will do

It is the same app. The screens on this site are captured from the iOS build, not mocked up: the same three tabs — Air Pressure, My Places, Alerts — the same gauge, the same history, the same alert rules, sharing one codebase with the Android version.

Barometer Reborn on iPhone: pressure history with chart, statistics and measurements
Barometer Reborn on iPhone: the Alerts tab with template and custom rules

How it differs from Android at launch

Three honest differences, all of which are on the platform comparison table:

  • It reads the weather service, not the iPhone’s own barometer. iPhones have a pressure sensor, but the local measurement pipeline is Android-only for now. iOS gets the pressure for your location from the Barometer Reborn service instead, which means it needs the location permission and a connection. Reading the sensor is the obvious next step, not a decision to leave it out.
  • No home screen widget yet. The Android version has two; the first iOS release has none.
  • Alerts are evaluated on the server rather than on the device, and arrive as push notifications.

Everything else is there from day one: the gauge and trend, the full history with statistics over 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days and 30 days, My Places with their own charts, alert rules from a template or your own, all five pressure units, mean sea level conversion and CSV export.

When

There is no date to promise, and inventing one would be worse than saying so. The app builds and runs; what is left is the work between “runs” and “ready for other people’s phones”.

If you want to know the moment it lands, send a line to support@hubalek.net and you will get exactly one email about it.

In the meantime

The Android version has been on Google Play since 2016 and is rated 4.6. If you have an Android device as well, that is the full app today.
