A different app under the same name on the App Store
On the Apple App Store, an app published by ExaMobile S.A. (App Store id 1267360992) appears under the title “Barometer Reborn” in its English (Australia) localization. That is the title shown in the Australian and New Zealand App Stores. In other countries the same app is listed under descriptive titles such as “Barometer & Altimeter & Thermo” or “Atmospheric Pressure Barometer” (checked in September 2026).
That app is a different product from a different developer. It is not related to Barometer Reborn or to Tomas Hubalek. Its first release on the App Store was in August 2017, after Barometer Reborn had been on Google Play for almost a year.
Barometer Reborn by Tomas Hubalek is not on the App Store yet. When it is, the iOS page will link straight to the listing.
How to recognise the original
- The developer line on the store listing reads Tomas Hubalek.
- On Google Play, the package id is
net.hubalek.android.apps.barometer. - The listing links to www.barometer-reborn.com, and this site links back to it.
