# HD Thermometer ⊎ vs Splash°

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.

Both are free to download. HD Thermometer ⊎ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Splash° asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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