This sensational and very easy to handle app transforms your iPhone or iPodTouch into a real thermometer device. You can practically measure environmental temperature from -20°C up to 140°C or 0°F up to 320°F. You may switch between Celcius and Fahrenheit on the fly within the application. The temperature is displayed on a big analog instrument.

To operate this app you need some additional hardware option that you have to connect to the headphone connector via a 4 pin plug. All you have to do in this little DIY project is to connect a NTC 10hOhm thermistor, a 0.1uF cap and a 180Ohm resistor to the plug. The circuit is shown within the help page of the app.

DISCLAIMER

To run this app a DIY hardware option is required as described above

This app is only for experimental, hobby and educational use. This is not a precise approved instrument and may not be used to perform serious temperature measurements and human use.

Nur bedingt zu nutzen

App läuft ok. Leider nur sehr beschränkter Support, daher nicht mit anderen Komponenten zu nutzen, Antwort des Supports: "...bitte wenden Sie sich dies bzgl. an Ihren Physiklehrer o.ä." - Vielen Dank für nichts...

Schrecklich

Wie kann man die Leute nur so extrem verarschen? Und dann dafür noch Geld zu verlangen! Wenn ihr einen dezibelmesser programmieren wollt müsst ihr den auch so nennen und nicht mit Celsius verkleiden. Echt jämmerlich von euch.

Unbrauchbar

Trotz aller Bemühungen ist es mir nicht gelungen, eine Kalibrierung (bei Raumtemperatur) durchzuführen. Insgesamt enttäuschend.

Thermometer

Glatter Betrug! Funktioniert mit gelieferter Hardware überhaupt nicht. Totaler Schrott. Sollte sofort vom AppStore entfernt werden.

Funktioniert

Zugriff auf das Mikrofon zulassen und dann kalibrieren. Für einfache Messungen ausreichend.

Dont waste your money

The combination of the temperature probe and software do not function properly. Most of the time but not always when the iPod or the Thermometer program is turned on, the calibration slider moves to another location needing re-calibrtion, sometimes it resets to 0°C and will not respond at all until switched off and on again. This means you need to carry an accurate thermometer with you to re-calibrate all the time therefor making the unit redundant. The same with the switch for °F and °C, when set to °F, the next time it is turned on it reverts to °C again. It is very difficult to calibrate the unit accurately, (I use a digital thermometer for calibration), I could never come closer than 1.5 °F, either over or under the actual temperature. The digital readout does not convert the temperature properly either, 18.1°C when switched to °F reads 76°F. Properly converted 18.1°C is 64.58°F, 11.42 °F is a big difference from what it should be. This temperature probe is overpriced (approximately $35 including shipping) but if someone really wants it, one should expect a product to function as advertised, it did not even look the same as shown on their website. The manufacturer of the hardware probe has not responded to my inquiries except for the first time when the only response was, the unit does not need re-calibration, no further response to additional inquiries or the fact that they shipped something other than shown. Very poor to non-existent customer service. Dont waste your money.

Fonctionne bien

Fonctionne très bien on peut remplacer le thermistor par une multitude de sonde 10k, cette application peut remplacer lapplication BBQ on peut fabriquer la sonde par rapport à lapplication BBQ.
