Vernier Thermal Analysis Plus

Vernier AND FLIR should be embarrassed with how poorly this app works. The features (particularly data logging) are awesome, but the app simply fails to run stable. If it doesn’t crash when you’re recording data, it surely will when you go back to replay it... if you can get your experiments to load at all without crashing. I thought I could use this in a professional product development setting, but besides being a showcase for what COULD be, this app is functionally useless.

Crashes constantly, especially on iPad. On my iPhone I can sometimes get a useful experiment, but crashes consistently on iPad. Graphs on video export don’t match data. Please, pretty please, Developers, please fix this app. It is hands down the best - if it didn’t crash. I will buy you a beer if you fix this. Two! Don’t have come this far only not to finish!

It’s works good and measures as expected. Major drawbacks though: DOES NOT support orientation. Cannot be used with screen tilted to 90deg or even flipped to 180deg. Makes it very awkward to work with on an iPhone and the lack of rotation support makes it limited from that aspect. Snapshots (pictures) are exported without temperature information.

Crashes (a LOT), buggy export of data and video, no emissivity or gain setting. Very powerful, but ultimately not quite reliable enough to be useful.

This app worked well before I updated to iOS 11.2.1. It was a very useful app when it worked. Please update.
