### 5/5 — Instant temperature

*2024-01-21*

Extremely Accurate and quick to see what your outdoor temp is without going thru all the other options on other apps. Very handy!

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2024-01-18*

Seems pretty accurate when compared against other reliable sources.

### 5/5 — Quick and Accurate

*2023-06-11*

This thermometer is an instant read, accurate yeah temperature gauge. I love it. It tells you exactly what the temperature is right where you are within two seconds. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2023-06-07*

I’ve been using this app for many years. 
I  love it. No matter where I go, it keeps track of the location and the temperature it shows is always on point. Seems to be more accurate than the weather apps I have..

### 5/5 — So far, so good

*2023-03-23*

I downloaded this app and two other highly rated thermometer apps, and this one matched my analog outdoor thermometer exactly so I guess that’s a good sign (re: the other two apps: one was much lower and one was much higher)

### 5/5 — Quick easy

*2023-02-21, version 1.3*

I like the thermometer because it gives me a quick easy look at the temperature any where I am even as I travel if goes with me.

### 5/5 — Weather app

*2023-01-17, version 1.3*

I love this app, it follows me every place I go and gives me the current temp, since I work outdoors for a living is super helpful that it also gives the real feel temp which is even more important.

### 1/5 — Does Not Show Indoor Temperature

*2022-11-08, version 1.3*

I specifically downloaded this app because it stated that it measured INDOOR temperatures. HOWEVER…after spending more time than I care to admit trying to comb through the settings and features to figure out HOW to measure and view the indoor temps…I QUIT! It should not have been that difficult!! I even tried to find a customer support link to ask for instructions. NONE AVAILABLE! So I deleted the app as I find it an abomination that an individual is expected to have an IT degree in order to utilize this app. SO WRONG!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing Accuracy

*2022-10-30, version 1.3*

To think how it can be so accurate about outside temperature when one is inside is mind boggling!

### 4/5 — Comparable Temperatures

*2022-10-19, version 1.3*

Love the ease of the app. Have not seen/found a way to measure current exterior temps and humidity/precipitation (actual/prospective) simultaneously with current interior temp and humidity. Would be a huge advantage for many working (or planning outdoor activity) for many managers/teachers/coaches and more.
