An old time recreational skier with old equipment, I have a collection of old, very old, and new waxes. I wish there was a chart for very old waxes (Blue Extra, Green Extra, etc .) Am I the last fool using them? ### 4/5 — Bravo *2013-01-22* Très pratique, facile à utiliser. Pour une prochaine version, peut-être intégrer les fart de glisse HF et LF. Une section pour la poudre fluoré serait apprécié ### 4/5 — This works well, I wish it had a Fahrenheit setting *2013-01-09* I like the ease and simplicity of the interface. Unfortunately I live in a country that doesn't use metric temperature readings so I have to convert weather reports, thermometer readings etc to use this app. Maybe an update will be released that addresses this issue? ### 3/5 — Needs a glide wax feature *2012-07-12* Basic app that works well for grip wax but lacks a feature for glide waxing. It could offer a more detailed account of snow types for the novice. Work on that please! ## Frequently asked questions about Wax Thermometer ### What is the Wax Thermometer app?
