Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Splash° at 82% against HD Thermometer ⊎'s 37%. Splash° also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). HD Thermometer ⊎'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HD Thermometer ⊎ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HD Thermometer ⊎ has 13K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of HD Thermometer ⊎'s written reviews are positive against 82% of Splash°'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HD Thermometer ⊎ ships an update fortnightly, Splash° every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
