The conversion
24°F = −4.44°C
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9, so (24 − 32) × 5/9 = −4.44.
As an outdoor air temperature, 24 °F sits in the freezing 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
−4.44 °C converts back to 24 °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.
