Accessible Indoor/outdoor temperature apps

By Jo, 1 January, 2019

iOS and iPadOS

I have one of the old talking clocks with indoor/outdoor temperature, which is obtained via a wireless sensor. The sensor must have been damaged yesterday in a bad windstorm that we had and is no longer working. So I went on a search for iOS apps that would display the indoor and outdoor temperatures for my location. Has anyone tried any that they have found to be accessible with VoiceOver? I'm using the latest update of 12.1.2 on an iPhone 8. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How about something like this:

It's a bit pricey and you would have to check the App for accessibility, but it looks like fun! My philosophy with Aliexpress is to forget that you placed an order, then it's a pleasant surprise when it arrives and you haven't spent the last few weeks cursing its non-arrival.

There are other, cheaper units that work with an iPhone App but many of these need a gateway or hub to work.

Perhaps send the long winded link above to a local supplier and see if they can suggest anything!?!

Thanks for the tip.
