There are so many apps that interface to an external thermometer, that all
you need to do is pick the specialty thermometer type that you're seeking.

While all thermometers have their pros and cons based on their design and
intended use, there are also, as you noted, apps that work solely on the
phone.

For example, this is a well-rated free adfree gsfree thermometer app.

Here's one (of many) for the iOS operating system (dunno if it works).
 <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thermometer/id357949214>

Why not test one of those free ad-free apps and let us know how it goes?
