### 1/5 — App is way out of calibration.

*2024-08-24*

So, when it is 78 degrees outside on a thermometer, this app shows 64 degrees. It is consistently off by minus 10 to 14 degrees. In programming, this is indicative of a decaying program code because the developer is ignoring updating the app to make sure it is fresh and accurate. Just saying…..
