User reviews

Dead app please update

I love this app and have used it for years to double check my heat treat oven calibration

It is no longer compatible with iPhone OS and does not work at all now

If they ever update I’ll change my review to 4 stars

Refund please

The app won’t even open the camera to calibrate

Hard to calibrate

I found the app very hard to calibrate and it needs to be calibrated before every use. Even if the phone goes into standby it needs recalibration. Effectively making this app useless

DO NOT BUY

Pice of crap app

No luck.

I thought this would be handy for HTing knives, but I haven't had any luck with it. I tried calibrating then using it to read a steel that I knew the austentitic temp for, in light and dark, but could not get an accurate read.
