Altimeter & Barometer Pro

Added new installation sequence to clearly explain to new users the permissions that the app needs to work along with information about the app's data privacy policy. This update also includes minor bug fixes.

Fixed issue with the 'close' buttons on the METAR and TAF info popups not responding to taps.

Fixe altimeter initialization issue on the Watch. Optimized reference altitude acquisition for improved responsiveness and accuracy. Added forward/back navigation buttons to the shortcut bar on the bottom of the iPhone screen. Fixed bug with graph style changes not being immediately reflected in the graph display on the iPhone.

Bug fixes including fix for Watch graph style setting not being correctly displayed in some Watch complications. Added FAQ link on the settings screen.

Fix for a NOAA API change that prevented weather station data from being shown.

Updated the app to reflect latest NOAA API changes so that the app can access weather station data again. Revised the "Live features" section in the settings and options screen to simplify use of the iOS Live Activity feature, and added a dedicated "Continuous background operation" mode with the ability to maintain the reference altitude manually for Premium Features subscribers.

Fixed iOS-specific compatibility issue Live Activity. Fixed issue with weather data not updating when the app is running continuously in the background.

Fixed critical bug for the "What's new" screen.

Fixed remaining issues with the app's Live Activity feature. Fixed a related issue on the Watch that caused background operation to continue when not desired. Reconfigure the Watch's background operation option to be easier to use and made it distinct from the related Live Activity feature on the iPhone app. Fixed issue with resetting altimeter stats on the iPhone and Watch altimeter screens. As always, if you see anything that's not working properly, please let me know at [email protected] and I will investigate.

Upgraded the barometer-based forecast to use the famous Zambretti Forecaster algorithm. Made enhancements to make background updates even more robust. Added internal enhancements to allow gracefully "riding through" periods of time when both GPS and the OS-altimeter are unavailable or inaccurate. Added iPad support. The iPhone app will now automatically stop background activity if you manually dismiss the Live Activity widget by swiping left; this will reduce battery consumption. Fixed an issue that caused singe taps and long presses to initially set the interactive cursor position slightly offset from the tip of your finger. Added details to the online on how to use the interactive feature of the barometer and altimeter graphs. Added a dedicated wind measurement screen to the Watch to make it easier to see the results. Added an option to the Watch to turn off the weather screen.

Bug fix for location-based features preference not being set to the correct default value.

Fixed issue with duplication annotations in the BaroMap feature. Fixed an assortment of misspellings/typos in the the app's help and dialogue screens.

Fixed bug with 1-,3-, and graph-scale barometric pressure change values not being displayed correctly on the Watch barometer screen with non-English units.

Added new option to receive weather notifications when a condition is no longer active. Fixed issue with weather forecast notifications sometimes not being sent. Various minor enhancements and bug fixes.

The History feature has been re-architected for improved performance and responsiveness by caching previously downloaded data. In addition, the app will now cache new days of history data on your device, and will upload new history to the cloud when an internet connection is available. This means that you can be offline for extended periods of time, and new history data will be automatically saved to the cloud once you have an internet connection again. The History feature will now also display the partially-completed history for the current day so you can now see pressure and altitude history right up to the current time. This version adds the ability to switch between displaying altitude-corrected pressure most commonly used for tracking weather-related changes (i.e., what you typically see in weather reports), and absolute pressure which is also sometimes referred to as station pressure. Absolute pressure is simply the air pressure reported by your device’s air pressure sensor. This can be useful for various scenarios such as migraine tracking where absolute pressure - the actual air pressure impacting the body - may be more informative than altitude-adjusted pressure which only shows pressure and pressure changes due to the effects of weather. When the app is displaying absolute pressure, it will be indicated with an “ABS” icon. This applies to widgets, Watch complications, and the history screen as well. You can switch between station pressure and absolute pressure using a new station pressure setting on the options screen in the “Display preferences” section. You can also switch between the two modes on the pressure display screen by tapping on the small barometer dial under the graph when displaying altitude-adjusted pressure, or tapping on the “ABS” icon when displaying absolute pressure. The app also has a number of minor UI improvements such as larger fonts for displaying the start/end dates and displayed time scale under the graph using symbols to indicate the scale range instead of “displayed time”. This version also has a number of bug fixes and internal improvements.

Fixed color issue with tinted (2-color) Watch complications. Fixed bug with vertical speed and elevation gain/loss stats when using meters for units. Fixed incorrect time being displayed when exploring data in the altimeter graph. My thanks to the users who let me know about these issues. Fixed bug with weather forecast "off" notifications (if enabled) not reporting the correct forecast condition value.

Altimeter-specific bug fixes for min/max vertical speed and total ascent/descent values. Related bug fixes for CSV file output.

Added in-app translation for languages supported by Apple's Translate technology. Updated UI elements where possible to be language-neutral.

Fixed bug on the Sensor screen that caused units to not reflect the current setting for units other than inHg.

Fixed bugs with language detection. Added an option to manually select the language used in the app in the options screen. Changed some of the wording to help with translation to other languages, and fixed some UI layout bugs related to translated text. Fixed bug with min/max symbols being swapped for "displayed altitude" values on the altitude screen.
