## Review summary

Most reviews say RIDGID Thermal is nonfunctional without the official external thermal camera/attachment. Users report the app cannot take or import photos and struggles to connect to hardware, with vague setup steps. Several reviews call it a waste of time. A minority note that with the proper attachment it may work, indicating hardware dependency is the core factor. Overall, the app appears to be hardware-dependent and not usable as a standalone thermal camera app.

### Pros

- Requires the RIDGID external thermal camera/attachment to function
- If the proper camera is attached, the app is intended to work with that hardware
- Designed to display thermal imagery when paired with compatible hardware

### Cons

- Cannot take or upload photos; app seems nonfunctional on its own
- Requires external thermal camera/attachment; not usable without hardware
- Frequent connectivity/pairing issues (wifi/camera) and unclear setup steps
- Many users feel the app is a waste of time and overall unusable
- Some reviews suggest it misrepresents capabilities by implying a phone can detect heat without hardware
