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 review sentiment: Thermals at 83% against Supanator's 33%. Thermals also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Supanator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support 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. Supanator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Thermals asks for nothing beyond the download.
Supanator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 23 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Thermals's written reviews are positive against 33% of Supanator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Thermals ships an update every 3 months, Supanator every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
