Save those "too hot days" and "too cold days" as an image and share them with your friends. Transparent Thermometers usually just show what temperature it is and what the humidity level is. However, by using the iPhones camera we were able to successfully create Transparent Image. You can show people images of what the weather looks like whether it be cold or hot! We recommend this app for the following types of people ・Those that want to boast to everyone how hot their hometown is ・Those that what to boast about how cold their hometown is ・Those that just want to share what temperature it is ・Those that want to save an image of the current temperature for their own log.
