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.

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

To everyone saying that it doesn't appear to work/does nothing no matter how hard you press: the app requires a barometer sensor in order to work. NOT ALL Android devices will have this. Most cheaper ones won't. I just tried it on a couple phones that do not have one, and the app does not give any warning/indication about this. To the developer: the idea behind this is genius, I would just suggest putting in a barometer check; I'm guessing this could be done through some kind of API check?

Hi Grayson, Thanks for your feedback! I've pushed out an update that adds the API check to make sure a barometer is present before we proceed. It is version 1.1.1.

The fact that this even exists is an attestment to the ingenuity that some people have. Sure, it requires your phone to have a barometer, which may be left out on older or cheaper phones, but then again, why would you be testing it on devices that most likely don't have water protection? Then there's also the issue that not all phones are made equal: the method that works on one phone might not work on another. But when it works, it works, and it's clear to me that this app goes beyond others.
