No built-in app to play with the barometer?

Cool new feature and I can't even goof around with it! Gotta wait for a third party app I guess.

It works with the Health app. Add Flights Climbed to your dashboard, and it will track your flights of stairs climbed throughout the day.

Yeah -- an app to give us pressure and elevation would be nice. Sometimes I just want to check elevation without "climbing stairs" (I'm a trail runner).

I checked the iOS API documentation and we will definitely be seeing apps for this, probably very soon.

There's a way to get not only relative climb and descent, but also the actual atmospheric pressure from the sensor.

Apple just didn't provide a built in "toy" app to play with it, like they have in the past with the accelerometer, compass, magnetometer, gyroscope, etc.
