## Review summary

The IR Explorer app on iOS delivers strong thermal detail, easy setup when it connects, helpful color palettes, good value, and simple reticle zeroing. However, repeated issues hinder its reliability: frequent iPhone/adapter compatibility problems, misaligned compass without calibration, occasional crashes, unwanted automatic zoom, and updates that reduce features. Overall, it’s a capable tool when it works, but connectivity and feature stability are the main pain points.

### Pros

- High-quality thermal imaging with clear detail and strong long-range sensitivity.
- Easy setup and pairing when the connection works.
- Versatile color palettes for different scenarios.
- Good value for money given the features and performance.
- Reticle zeroing is easy, making alignment straightforward.

### Cons

- Frequent connection/recognition problems with iPhones and USB-C adapters, leading to unreliable usage across devices.
- Compass readings off (often about 90 degrees) with no calibration option available.
- Random app crashes during use that can cause loss of recordings.
- Automatic 2x zoom (and lack of reliable standard zoom) disrupts workflow; users want more zoom control.
- Updates that remove or degrade features (e.g., HD setting) reducing overall functionality.
