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. _________________  |

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

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. |

| 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. _________________ |

| 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. _________________ |

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