App summary
This app is a thermometer, which displays indoor and outdoor temperature (Celsius and Fahrenheit degree scale).
🌡️ INDOOR thermometer:
Indoor temp. is taken from built-in phone temperature sensor (ambient temperature sensor). However, some devices are not equipped with this sensor and then the app uses the sensor of device's electronical subassembly (e.g. the phone battery). Unfortunately, such temperature can differ from the real ambient air temperature, so to obtain the most accurate one you should leave your phone untouched for an hour (the best way of getting the correct temp. is to check it just after waking up, after your phone hasn't been used for the whole night).
Moreover, to get more proper results, you can use calibration menu. How to do it? Check inside room temperature using real thermometer. Run calibration menu. Adjust inside temp. displayed by the app to fit value from thermometer.
