The conversion
123°F = 50.56°C
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9, so (123 − 32) × 5/9 = 50.56.
As an outdoor air temperature, 123 °F sits in the hot band. The other scale is on the dial beside it in the app, so a reading like this needs no conversion at all.

The other direction
50.56 °C converts back to 123 °F, which is the same relationship read the other way. Going from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 first and then add 32. Adding first is the usual mistake.
