You’re in control of your home climate with AirTouch 2+. Featuring a new smart and easy to use interface design, you can now use your smart device to control AC mode, temperature and fan speed of reverse cycle ducted air conditioning units connected to your AirTouch system at home, as well as the air volume for individual rooms. While you can control your system with your smart device over your WiFi network with internet connectivity at home, now you’ll never have to worry about leaving it turned on when you are out and about, as you can check and turn it on or off, and set a timer for when you get home remotely over the internet from anywhere. Requires an AirTouch 2+ system installed by a suitable air conditioning professional.

About

Freedom Day

Read full description

Freedom Day is the countdown app every parent secretly needs. Many years ago when my kids would complain about living at home and the terrible time they were having, I'd retort with the fact that I check "my app" daily (while rolling my eyes) that tells me how long until they moved out at 18 years old. For years they believed that I actually had an app......... So now I've written the app I always wanted and am sharing it with you. A bit of silliness, and maybe it's only me that found it hilarious :) Add your children, set the age they're moving out, and watch the days tick down to your glorious, well-earned freedom. Track multiple kids, see who's leaving soonest, and get a notification on the big day - because that deserves a celebration. Features: β€’ Countdown in days to each child's move-out date β€’ Progress tracker showing how far through their childhood you've survived β€’ Photos and personalised profiles for each child β€’ Notifications on move-out day β€’ Dark mode support β€’ Drag to reorder your children (in the app, not in real life) β€’ All data stays totally on your device Free tier: Track one child at no cost. Full version: Unlock unlimited children with a one-time purchase - no subscription, ever. Freedom Day. You've earned it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AirTouch 2+ at none against Freedom Day's 1. AirTouch 2+ also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Freedom Day's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
