This app is perfect for amateur and pro meteorologists, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone else curious about their environment.Most Android devices still do not have a barometer, ambient thermometer, or hygrometer. See the (probably incomplete) COMPATIBILITY list below for devices that this app is useful with.This app does not simulate ambient temperature based on cpu or battery temperature and does not provide faux readings or internet based readings. There is zero internet/network usage; internet/network permissions are never requested.

Does what it says. I wanted a thermometer that would quickly tell me the ambient temperature. I found this this takes at least 5 minutes on my Galaxy S4 to change from the 85Ā° temperature that it is when I take it out of my breast pocket where I carry my phone to the ambient temperature of where I set the phone. Too long for my immediate gratification mind. Secondly I found it to be a real battery sucker. Had to delete it although I really wanted to like it.

Not a lot of apps that gives this wide range of parameters to monitor. Biggest plus is Density Altitude. Very usefull for long range shooting.

Whats not to like. The App uses a built in function an provides information in a usable form. Great work by the developer.

How do you get the widget onto the Lock screen?

Works great

It works fine but I can't seem to find the widgets

This does what it says. For those complaining that it doesn't work, read the description. I'm kinda sad that my new Nexus no longer has any of the sensor of my old s4. Nevertheless I really like this app when I used it in the past. And yes it works. No you don't have those sensors on your phone. I almost wish the developer spoofs those settings just for fun.
