Thermals vs HapticHub
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Thermals
Monitor your device's thermal state and processor activity to diagnose performance issues. Understand why your phone might be running slowly, charging slowly, or have reduced brightness due to overheating. Export data for further analysis with other development tools.
- Displays device thermal state
- Shows active processor count
- Monitors device uptime
- Troubleshoots performance issues
- Helps diagnose slow charging
- Identifies brightness limitations
- Exports raw data for analysis

Phone running slowly, charging slowly or low brightness? See if your device is overheating using Thermals. Thermals displays your device’s thermal state, as well as how many processors are active on your device and its uptime, as reported by iOS. Thermals helps troubleshoot: • Poor performance — iOS reduces processor speed and potentially disables processors temporarily when the device is hot. • Slow charging — battery charging causes a lot of heat and iOS can limit charging speed to reduce the additional heat that might make a device too hot. • Low maximum brightness — if your device screen stays dark despite being on full brightness, it could be limited by iOS due to heat. • Manufacturing defects — if not all processors are active when the device is cool and not in low power mode. Your device's thermal state is monitored regularly in the background and recorded in the app (if Background App Refresh is enabled). Open the app or tap the widget to record a data point manually. Export the raw data to file for corroboration with Screen Time, Xcode's Instruments, or other development tools. Also an independent Apple Watch app shows the thermal status, active processors and uptime, and thermal history of your watch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thermals at none against HapticHub's 1. Thermals also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 1) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). HapticHub's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. HapticHub sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Thermals asks for nothing beyond the download.
HapticHub holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermals has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
