Pros and cons of Barometer antique app for iPhone and iPad

Barometer antique app good for

Good app! Lots of valuable info. Use it all day because I work outside, so the barometer and hygrometer functions are great. Lots of good weather info.
See review below. Now gives 4 stars. Update fixes the inches of Hg problem and the new font is appreciated, easier to read. New 4 day outlook niice too. Wil give 4 stars when developer changes the PSI setting to "inches of Hg". Nobody uses PSI for barometric pressure readings. The barometer should also pointr to the correct pressure.
I am editing my origional review and giving pocketkai a 5 rating because of his great response & updates to my problems with his Barometer AppGood positive, useful, directions make an app work well and make you feel you got your WorthI recommend you search the App Store with the term "pocketkai" to view ALL his interesting apps The GUI does look very nice & the Maps look good too. I am considering another app by this developer, however, this experience provides EXcellentCONFIDENCE in this devolpers apps right now
Extremely accurate barometer which also shows recent trends in pressure - perfect for fishing/hunting info. Many other features easily accessable. Never crashes - always works. If you need an accurate barometer with extra features, get this one. Its the best!
I love this app so far! Nice antique look and refreshes quickly and smoothly. When I compare to my home barometer it is very close, within 1 torr. The other features are a nice addition too.
I had no problems with the app, works great, provides nice and easy to understand information.

Some bad moments

The temperatures in this app are inaccurate. I emailed the developer and he said he then adjusted the source but it is several degrees off. Otherwise nice app but I cant rely on it for the right temperature.
Kinda cool but my clocks way off and the icon now shows the number "14" in the red corner bubble. Whats up with that?
Kluncky and unreliable. Doesnt give any indication of barometric trends i.e rising .. falling over recent period..
Fun concept but sloppy and error-filled in execution. Usually gives an error message whenever I run the app. Always displays a red bubble with the number "1,021" on the app icon. No idea what thus number refers to--email messages? text messages? number of bugs on this app???
This could have been be so if it worked. Cant ever figure out where I am when other apps can. Doesnt respond to tap like it should. Is not worth your 2 bucks!
Worked fine for a while. Worked as advertized but suddenly, it just quit. Reloaded it several times and it seems to lock up on finding "my location". Even if I put my zip code in...it still refuses to show the info. It was great...while it worked. : <
