Thermometer: Indoor & Outdoor Temperature App

"Thermometer: Outdoor & Indoor" is an Android app that displays indoor and outdoor temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Indoor readings are derived from the phone's built-in temperature sensor or battery sensor, while outdoor temperatures are sourced from an online weather service based on your location. For accuracy, users can calibrate indoor readings with a real thermometer. The app requires location access for outdoor temperature data and internet access for weather updates.

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.

🌡️ OUTDOOR thermometer:
Outdoor temp. is taken from the weather web service. App needs access to your phone's location in order to determine your position. It sends your coordinates to online weather service. Service checks for nearest weather stations and provides actual outside temperature.

Why does the app need an access to device's location?

Why does the app need an access to internet?
In order to check outdoor temperature in the nearest weather station, app needs to send request to online weather service.

User reviews
I really enjoy this app. It's great to know the room and outside temperatures. I recommend this app to anyone whom is needing an indoor & outdoor thermometer. It works great with ease of setup.

The app itself is simple and useful and worked quite accurately without recalibration. However, it suffers from a recent problem in adverts, where ads (for blood pressure monitoring etc.) have no OFF or CLOSE button, pop up almost as soon as you start using the app, and stay there. The only way to get rid of them is to close the app, without being able to read the temperature . This is a major problem affecting many apps - and one which app developers need to address urgently. Uninstalled.

Excellent so far. Runs in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. However...only calibrates in Celsius, but that seems sufficient. Quick response once connected so far....no long wait for temp reading, yet. I expect this won't change. Nice app. I paid the $2;to remove ads. I believe may be a one time pay... don't know.
