About this app

The Vernier Go Wireless app allows users to conduct experiments using Go Wireless Temp, a wireless temperature probe. Users collect temperature data that is displayed in a graph and can calculate basic statistics on a region of data. Additionally, users can export the data as a CSV file for use in other applications for even more analysis.

HARDWARE REQUIRED - Vernier Go Wireless Temp is required to make use of this application. Visit http://www.vernier.com/gw-temp for more information.

Ratings and reviews

This app is clearly a fantastic idea but it keeps stopping due to a low memory error. I am running a RAZR MAXX HD. I have no way to affect RAM but there is 15 GB of internal storage available. If the app would actually work, I would probably rate it a 5.

Can't connect anymore since my Galaxy S5 updated to Lollipop 😣
