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. Disclaimer The iPhone does not contain any sensory equipment to measure temperature. It uses Location Services to determine what the weather is for your area. Information is taken from Open Weather Map. The Transparent App series doesn't stop there! We also have thermometers, stopwatches, calculators, voice recorders, clocks, and more! Create your own folder and get them all!!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Transparent Thermometer at 4.5 against Temperature Lite's 3.1. Transparent Thermometer also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Temperature Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transparent Thermometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Temperature Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Transparent Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 7 respectively.

Transparent Thermometer ships an update every 9 days, Temperature Lite every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
