Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Thermometer at 4.7 against Splash°'s 3.3. The Thermometer also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (597 vs 4). Splash°'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Thermometer has 597 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Splash°'s written reviews are positive against 54% of The Thermometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Splash° ships an update every 13 months, The Thermometer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
