TopInfrared 4+

It lost one star due to no option for iPad. Aside from that, the app is easier to navigate than previous versions and remembers settings now. The way I use it requires the camera to be on an extension cord and inverted. The earlier version of this app required that I invert the image every single time I opened it, and adjust from metric to imperial measurements, as well as a few other personal preference tweaks. Now it’s a plug and play that allows for much faster use. I have not been able to make use of a lot of the features due to lack of time to play with them, so an extensive pdf manual with examples would be nice. My first time with this app was not easy in the least due to the learning curve and lack of direct access to a detailed manual. Thankfully, there are several forums that filled in for that, and I was able to learn relatively quickly. I use this app for HVAC and other construction projects to check for heat loss and leakage from a distance rather than having to be right next to the potential issue in question, and it has sped my work up significantly. “Seeing” hot spots in a ceiling or cold jets from ducts in an attic has made my job much easier. Learning to adjust and fine tune was not easy. That missing manual would have really helped.

I like the camera and the app. I have a couple similar products from competitors and a professional model as well. The image processing is very nice and the high refresh rate is a great feature. The request I have, however, is to please allow separate font colors for the high and low temperature readings. And also allow a larger font. It’s is difficult to pick one color that is easy to read against both hot and cold targets. Otherwise no other issues so far.

The app has all the features I need: exporting excel temperature data, taking a burst of images every couple of seconds (adjustable from 1 to 3 seconds), setting automatic calibration, custom ambient temperature and emissivity corrections.

My primary ask (thus 4 stars) is this: allow a larger number of images in a burst (max is 10). My application requires at minimum 20 images in a burst with a 3 sec interval. It’s awesome this feature exists at all! A maximum of say, 80 images would be great.

Also, because I need so many images it would be convenient to do a bulk export of temperature data for a set of selected images.

It is great that the file name for the excel data has date and time.
