About this app

This app will help you test whether the IP67/IP68 water resistance seals on your phone are still intact by using the barometer built in to your phone. Do note that the seals can become compromised with drops and device aging - keep your phone away from all liquids!

Note: If your phone does not have a built-in barometer, it cannot be supported. Having a barometer built-in to the phone is required for the core functionality of this app, and no app can install physically missing hardware.

Ratings and reviews

Note - put your phone on a hard surface when you do this test - maybe I just have squishy thumbs or have lost my hand strength after quitting rock climbing but I was only able to get a positive result pushing down on the phone on a solid surface. Im fairly sure my phone is still waterproof as it's been through many heavy rains, a few drops in the bath/hot tub, and repeated trips into a steam sauna without issue so I was very surprised at the "your phone is not waterproof" result the first tests

I was using a different app to do a manual barometer check when I had my Pixel 5's screen replaced, to make sure they has sealed it correctly. An app that simply tells you what to do and tells you the result is a great idea for those who don't want to mess around installing other tools. Nice work :) (tried with sim tray in place and then ejected and it gave the expected results.)

The idea behind this app is simply genius! However, I think the result is a little bit immature. I have a Pixel 2 (IP67) with a crack on the back glass. The app says it's waterproof, but if I keep pushing the screen, the pressure goes back to the initial value within a couple of seconds, so I guess there is still a leak. I experienced the same on my - theoretically - intact Pixel 7 Pro, but it took more time the pressure to return to the initial value.
