[The Call of the Wendigo]

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It says the temperature is 24.4 degrees.

My alcoholic thermometer says it's 20 degrees.
My digital one says it's 21.5 degrees.

It says the humidity is 50.5%.

My digital hygrometer says it's 53%.

And I have no way of checking the other things it's showing me.

It's now agreeing with my alcoholic thermometer and is just 2% lower than my digital hygrometer.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It says I'm 32.7 metres above sea level.

I'm fairly certain that I'm not.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's now crediting me with 48.9% humidity.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's now crediting me with 43.4%!

I'm not convinced it's as accurate as it could be.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It says I'm 32.7 metres above sea level.

I'm fairly certain that I'm not.

It's now saying I'm 17.4 metres above sea level.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It now says I'm 9.1 metres above sea level.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

And it says the humidity is 37.8%.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I shall take it into a different room and see what happens to its readings.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I've taken it into an unheated room, which it's decided is 23.5 degrees.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I have now uninstalled it.

You can check your altitude using the OS map layer on streetmap.co.uk.

I have now uninstalled it.

And I was just about to install it.

I only have an older iPhone, but do newer phones have temperature and humidity sensors these days? Such an app surely wouldn't work without them.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Apparently, they do have them but I don't know if mine does. It's relatively new, having been bought last May/June but it's also at the cheaper end of the spectrum.

"The humidity in your room is currently 100%. You might be about to drown."

The response when you are holding your phone in your sweaty hand.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

This very evening, I've installed an app on my phone that measures how many steps you've taken.

It says I've walked 890 metres, since I activated it.

At an average speed of 10 kph.

That seems rather fast.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

At that rate, I could walk from the centre of Sheffield to the centre of Manchester in just 6 hours.

I have a great app called Morse Mania, for learning Morse code.

How does that sentence sound when you speak it?
