# Transparent Thermometer vs Thermo

Transparent Thermometer and Thermo both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Thermo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Transparent Thermometer's. Thermo also leads on ratings volume (132 vs 15) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
