About this app

You can now take your temperature or someone else's with a simple forehead scan. You can also measure the surface temperature of everyday objects.

Ratings and reviews

I have used this app dozens of times, it's usually fine for taking temperature. But WHY do you require me to sit through the entire tutorial every single time I open it? There needs to be a skip, or better, just stop showing the tutorial if the app has been used before. By the time it's done I could've found my actual thermometer and gotten the temperature.

This works for some of my family, but not me. 7 out of 8 times it wants the camera bar closer to my forehead, but closer would be touching. Even touching isn't close enough. When it is close enough I get a "scan failed" message after 2 or 3 seconds 5 out of 6 times. When it fails it advises me to wait 10 min if I've been outside in the cold or heat. But it doesn't tell what ambient temperature it's calibrated for. I keep my home on the cool side in winter, so it may never be accurate for me.

Three stars because it seems to work, but the interface is not good. It'd be considerably better if it integrated the camera to help you figure out where you're pointing the thermometer and whether you're close enough to the target. With the Tensor CPU, it'd even be possible for the camera to detect objects and automatically set/suggest material types for them.
