About this app

This app is a thermometer, which displays indoor and outdoor temperature (Celsius and Fahrenheit degree scale).

🌡️ INDOOR thermometer:
Indoor temp. is taken from built-in phone temperature sensor (ambient temperature sensor). However, some devices are not equipped with this sensor and then the app uses the sensor of device's electronical subassembly (e.g. the phone battery). Unfortunately, such temperature can differ from the real ambient air temperature, so to obtain the most accurate one you should leave your phone untouched for an hour (the best way of getting the correct temp. is to check it just after waking up, after your phone hasn't been used for the whole night).
Moreover, to get more proper results, you can use calibration menu. How to do it? Check inside room temperature using real thermometer. Run calibration menu. Adjust inside temp. displayed by the app to fit value from thermometer.

🌡️ OUTDOOR thermometer:
Outdoor temp. is taken from the weather web service. App needs access to your phone's location in order to determine your position. It sends your coordinates to online weather service. Service checks for nearest weather stations and provides actual outside temperature.

Why does the app need an access to device's location?
In order to check outside temperature app needs to know your current position.

Why does the app need an access to internet?
In order to check outdoor temperature in the nearest weather station, app needs to send request to online weather service.

Ratings and reviews

The app itself is simple and useful and worked quite accurately without recalibration. However, it suffers from a recent problem in adverts, where ads (for blood pressure monitoring etc.) have no OFF or CLOSE button, pop up almost as soon as you start using the app, and stay there. The only way to get rid of them is to close the app, without being able to read the temperature . This is a major problem affecting many apps - and one which app developers need to address urgently. Uninstalled.

Poor use of permissions. This keeps my phone awake all the time, draining the battery. Even if I close the App and force it to stop, it still keeps the phone awake. *HTC desire 310" The only way to stop it behaving like that, is to remove the app and reboot the phone, it then goes to sleep normally. The worst bit is the permissions do not list the fact that the app accesses the "stop phone from sleeping" function. All thermometer apps seem to behave in this way. False temperature readings are given because the battery and screen are always working raising the internal temperature

I downloaded this app to compensate fof the fact that the main temperature sensor on my weather station always faces direct sunlight during the day & indicates inaccurately high numbers. If it's fairly accurate, then it is doing the job! It's also an attractive app to gaze upon as well with the best part; it's free with minimum ads thrust at one using it!
