Holo Barometer Pro 1.0.0 APK
devmc.eu
Holo Barometer is a barometer app that can logatmospheric pressure and compensate for local elevation above sealevel using location providers combined with a small network query.The app keeps an internal two day log of the atmospheric pressure,the pressure and elevation data can also be logged to a CSV file ifdesired. You can disable logging if you wish or the interval can beset to 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. If your device does not movebetween different elevations you can configure a fixed elevationabove sea level. Elevations received from the network are cached sothat each elevation is only requested once.You can choose the colours used for the app, live wallpaper andeach widget individually from the entire palette. The widgets allowyou to select how transparent their backgrounds are. Tapping on thetop two thirds of any Holo Barometer widget takes you to the appand tapping in the lower third of the widget takes you to thesettings for that widget.When using auto-elevation it is best set to balanced with thegeofence disabled unless you have other apps requesting locationupdates regularly when low power works well. Max Accuracy is notrequired if the device is capabable of getting a networklocation.The only locations stored by the app are stored with anelevation and not with a date or time. No locations are stored whenlogging or automatic elevation are disabled. The elevation cachecan be cleared at any time.All pressures displayed by Holo Barometer are in hecto-pascals(hPa) which are the same as millibars (mb); 1 hPa = 1 mb.There is an ad-supported version of this application, availablefrom the Play store, with no widgets or live wallpaper that can beused to ensure that the app works well on your device and that youlike it.Main Application Features:* Uses location to compensate for elevation above sea level.* Multiple gauge styles.* Graph and gauge resizable home screen widgets.* Live Wallpaper.* Log pressure and elevation data to CSV file.* Share the log graph.Holo Barometer is only as accurate as your device's pressuresensor and available location information. The automatic elevationcompensation feature can not account for your device's altitudeabove ground level. Accurate GPS fixes require a clear view of thesky.* Known IssuesSome Samsung devices have a firmware issue that sometimes causesa large overstating of the battery use of apps that use sensors.When this occurs the app is not consuming the power stated.
