Professional Barometer Free IOS www.snipca.com/33616

Your iphone has a wealth of sensors under the hood. Why not put them to good use in predicting the weather? Professional Barometer calculates the current pressure and indicates your likely weather using a traditional barometer display. As it’s calculated in your hand, you won’t find a more locally relevant forecast online, unless you have your own weather station. For best results, it needs your altitude, but if you don’t know what this is, you can leave it set to automatic for a calculated measurement.

iheart Free IOS www.snipca.com/33617

While we’d never recommend using an app when you should be heading to the doctor, they are useful when it comes to keeping watch over vital statistics, whether that’s steps walked, calories burned or, as in this case, your heart rate. Place a finger over your phone’s camera and flash, and iheart shines the flash bulb through your skin so it can detect your pulse via the camera to build up a record of your heart rate over time.
