About this app

** Developed for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3, full compatibility is not guaranteed on other models **
** models like Galaxy S3-S5 or Galaxy Note2-Note4 are missing temperature and humidity sensor, not my fault, sorry, the device manufacturer has decided to remove these sensors **
** if a sensor is set as "NOT PRESENT" is because your phone doesn't have it **
functions:
  - Ambient temperature in degrees celsius
  - Percentage of moisture in the air
  - Light intensity
  - Air pressure
  - Height above sea level
- widget with ambient temperature! more coming soon
** The data is read directly from the sensors could then have an error of up to 5-10% (in the worst case) that does not depend on me, but by the sensors, unfortunately I can not do anything about it, to try to reduce the errors Please keep the device on a flat surface for a few seconds, so that the values ​​are optimized, if your hands touch the device, the temperature will be too high of some degree **
If you want to report the full compatibility of your device with the application please leave feedback or send me an email, so it will be added to the list, any feedback and comments are very much appreciated, the application aims to be simple and instant, to have at hand all the data from the main sensors of the phone, if there are suggestions, recommendations and requests for additions will be happy to provide (where possible)

Ratings and reviews

Makes excellent use of galaxy device's built-in sensors. Simple un-cluttered layout. The only sensor I had accuracy issues with is altitude. I read an article and found out that this is unavoidable. Great job Alessandro! Also, (this may seem obvious) the temperature sensing thingy is INSIDE of your device. Keep this in mind if you're often getting high temperature readings. Putting one's device in one's freezer yields interesting results :)

Works for S7 and is ACCURATE!!!! Also works for my note 8. Awesome for quickly finding room temperature (rough estimate) and humidity for my clients when I need to assess rooms for HVAC applications. Also shows altitude, LUX (for lumen output depending on applications - awesome for adjusting lights such as motion detection lights to fine tune the sweet spot), and pressure but haven't needed to use this yet

I love this app on my S9, and understand that all functions may not work on newer phones, I'm using it for humidity, and will do this review again at a later date because at the moment I have no way to check the humidity for accuracy I'm waiting for a few gauges in the mail. My altitude is a bit off now and then seams to be more accurate the first few times I open it during the day then jumps up 100+ ' over my altitude by evening maybe heat from use of phone? Thanks so much I love it.
