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!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Transparent Thermometer at 4.5 against Position Weather Tools's 3.8. Transparent Thermometer also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Position Weather Tools's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
