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.

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.

It works reasonably well. The temperature sensor is based on infrared, which means that the temperature reading is heavily dependent on the material's emissivity. I was hoping there would be a mode that allows you to explicitely set the emissivity correction factor, but it looks like the "Select a material" dialog is as good as it gets. It's still nice to have this in my pocket nonetheless.
