I've tried a few but as you said they get confusing with the automatic adjustments they try to provide. <br /><br />I've also found that Metar pressure data is rounded so that's not great. Some sites like Meteociel show one decimal but I don't know where they get it from...

It is too bad we do not have some programmer with the courage to just show the pressure and allow for an offset and add the statement that "There are no other features, because none of these bells and whistles work well enough to be of any value."David Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413234790483329339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714718709601620866.post-59120917634259682482015-11-20T07:38:03.273-08:002015-11-20T07:38:03.273-08:00It is written by Peter Breiting in Germany.

It seems plain code means also plain name.<br /><br />I have written to them to ask about it. I found it in the iPhone app store searching on "barometer"... about the 6th option presented. We will have an android phone here shortly and then I will look for some counterpart for Android. Again, the beauty of this app is its simplicity. Just the sensor pressure and a way to calibrate it. In particular it does not try to find MSLP, which frankly never works, and the errors this process generates are almost always larger than the native sensor error... which can be corrected for with our free online service.David Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413234790483329339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714718709601620866.post-76918794172091086302015-11-20T04:21:26.904-08:002015-11-20T04:21:26.904-08:00Could you clarify the name of the iPhone app?
