Seek Thermal

I finished a wiring job on a new cabin today and performed some electrical load tests, using the Seek Thermal Compact I bought maybe six years ago for numerous thermal images important to the quality assurance of my work. I was using an iPhone 13, which shouldn't have been an issue. But the Seek Thermal app crashed so many times that I lost count! So if you see a growing chorus of complaints about this app, it might be a good idea to take both notice and corrective actions. Let me see an UPDATE, and MAYBE I'll consider upgrading to a new Seek Thermal Nano.

Garbage freezes playing their training videos. Junk returning sleek thermal pro.

I own an original Seek Thermal Compact with Lightning connector and like many of you we’re not only disappointed by the unit no longer working on newer iPhones but the lack of support by the company. I have finally found a workaround to get the unit working on my iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 18.1. Go into your iOS System Settings for the app and turn-off “Cellular Data” in the settings. These are the settings in the System Settings, not within the app software. Now after launching the app I can plugin my Seek Camera and it is recognized again.

This is a horrible app. The UI is completely unpredictable. It’s classic “mystery meat” navigation. At least try yall

I have not used the app in a while, but something has to be fixed. I need to use it under the current iOS 18, but the shutter button doesn’t work. Granted I can take picture with a screenshot, but that’s not the purpose of a shutter button, now is it?

I don’t understand the angry 1 star reviews. Yeah there is a learning curve with the SW but it’s not hard to figure out by either looking online or just experimenting. It takes pictures and videos and has a choice of color palettes. (I like the grey scale because it’s easy to interpolate in post processing) Note I’m an experimental physicist / electrical engineer and have owned several versions of these cameras. Currently using the CompactPRO.

My coworkers android works fine, just my phone. Seems to be an issue with the app

It crashes now when connecting the device.

App does recognize when unit is connected to iPhone 12. I got it to connect for 5 minutes after rebooting, then nothing. Unit works fine on old iPhone 7. Data transfer and charging works on the iPhone 12.

Have one of the original seek’s, and it no longer works with the latest iPhone’s. Bah.
