Visualize Atmospheric Pressure and Altitude
This app not only displays your local barometric pressure, but visualizes a complete history of measurements as well as an estimation of your altitude !
For such a history to be useful, the app autonomously takes measurements once in a while. In order not to drain your battery, you have lots of configuration options to fine-tune the app's behaviour and to find an ideal trade-off between measurement resolution and battery consumption.
Therefore, this app is ideally suited not only for hobby meteorologists, but also for alpinists, mountaineers, skydivers, glider pilots, etc.
If you have any questions, experience any bugs or have feature requests, don't hesitate to get in contact and visit the homepage at http://barometer.hyfy.de
Note: you actually need a pressure sensor (barometer) in your device (as e.g. in the Nexus Prime, Galaxy Nexus)!
