## Description

A Humidity Meter for Android devices. If your device has a humidity sensor, you can read humidity directly from the hardware or from a weather service.

If your device does not have the sensor, the app uses GPS to determine your location and, with internet access, shows outdoor humidity at your location along with outdoor temperature, wind speed and direction. Another fun and useful app from DS Software.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for its simple interface and location-based humidity readings, with occasional accuracy and reliability as positives. However, many reviews cite inconsistent or inaccurate indoor readings, confusion over data sources (internet vs internal sensor), stability issues launching the app, and requests for extra features like a widget or calibration options.

### Pros

- Simple, clean interface that is easy to use
- Switching between internet-based readings and internal phone sensor readings
- Shows humidity readings for your location, handy for quick checks
- Generally provides the basic functionality and works for many users

### Cons

- Inaccurate or inconsistent humidity readings (e.g., constant 66% or wrong indoors)
- Unclear or questionable data source (may pull data from weather services rather than device's sensor)
- Stability issues: app won't open or requires location on/off to work
- Limited features: no widget, no easy calibration or area settings like zip code
