Great info, temp incorrect. This is a great app and has lots of information. BUT the temperature is very incorrect and is disappointing...

Embarrassing. This app is constantly 7-10 degrees cooler than the actual temperature. I don’t know how it’s possible to be that far off or where this app gets it’s info, but it’s embarrassing for OSHA. Especially considering that the app is designed to help people work safely in hot temperatures.

Great App BUT Needs Spanish. Great app overall. It just needs to have the option of switching it to Spanish mode. Or better yet make a separate Spanish one for FLC contractors and supervisors. That would be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Doesn’t work anymore.. App worked great until a couple days ago. Doesn’t display any data. Constantly asks to refresh but the fails to do so. Maybe an update is needed?

Good but.... Really it needs an alert option

App crashes upon opening it. Crash prone app

App crashes. Downloaded this App and can’t even open it. I uninstalled and re-installed no luck.

Crashing. This app is crashing when attempting to view the hourly temperatures. This is happening even after deleting and reinstalling the application.

Needs improvement.. When I try to open the app, it attempts to load then crashes. I liked the old one better or update this one so it functions.

Not very useful. Actual local readings would be better for heat index monitoring. The only alerts it provides are timers. Every smart phone already has this functionality, so it’s redundant. If the app provided push alerts when heat index exceed a given level, it would provide some value.

Doesn’t work. All I’ve ever gotten from it is “Unable to load weather data from your area.” My “area” is Houston, Texas, one of the largest cities in America.

Crash-a-roni. The app can’t even get started before it crashes.

Rigged. I am convinced that this app is rigged to keep us in the corn

Needs to compensate for direct sunlight!. Heat Index applies to shaded areas. Sometimes people are out in the sun which is noted to raise the index by up to 15degrees. This should be made very obvious and displayed in parallel (heat index shade and heat index sun adjusted)

Does not work at all. How is this OSHA approved, when it can’t even stay open on my cellphone? I had just downloaded it and went through the tutorial panels… just for it to close the app and go back to my Home Screen. I tried reopening it several times… just to have it constantly close down again within— Not even a second! I saw the low stars and thought I’d give it a try despite the reviews. Shame on me to ignore other people’s warnings. Such a shame for a truly helpful idea of an app.

In accurate. My weather app is showing a much higher temp than this one. As someone whole works with animals outside I need it to be accurate

Not reliable. I am a safety inspector and I need this application. The previous version was perfect but now this app is not accurate, is not reliable. A waste of time using this app.

No longer works. Used to work great. Now it attempts to load data and crashes. This is happening ion 2 separate iPhone 7 (iOS 12.4). Does not even fully open before it crashes. Removed and reinstalled with same results.

Not accurate temps.. This app shows consistently lower than actual temperatures for the same area. Recently it was off by over 7° (95 vs 102 actual). That’s not helpful or safe.

App is worth downloading. The app is great. Need to understand that the heat index is measured in shade with a light wind and may not be exact according to where someone is working. If in direct sunlight it will be 10-15 degrees hotter potentially. A good tool to generally understand the heat index and begin safety precautions. Wish it forecasted out a week.

Simple, Great. Exactly what I want. No junk. Wish they had a wind chill app, too!

Off line. Please fix, use this all the time, when it is working. Suddenly it doesn’t work at all.

Does not work!. I downloaded this app in hoping to keep track of the heat index. Unfortunately it’s not working at all.

Numbers are off. Used this app successfully last two years. It always matched the temperature and humidity for an accurate calculation. This year it’s off by several degrees. This is dangerous for me because I have a medical condition and must be inside when heat index reaches 104. Will have to look for another app that is more accurate. Very disappointed.

What happened ?. The app was working fine one day and the next day it just quit and hasn't worked since, thats been probably two weeks.

Needed for work. I need this for my job to justify any variations from time used for completing duties — however the heat indexes on this ap are lower than both Weather Underground and The Weather Channel — how are they all not the same? Is this giving inaccurate data?

Don’t use. The app doesn’t actually adjust throughout the day to what the actual temperature and humidity is, just what the forecast was. Right now, it says it’s 86 with a heat index of 92. But some showers that weren’t forecasted came through this morning and the temperature at the moment is actually only 80. So while it was forecasted to be 86 right now, it’s only 80 and the app says it’s currently 86 out. This can be incredibly dangerous if people are relying on this app and the temperature or humidity ends up being higher than originally forecasted. Do not rely on this app at all, basically just use it as a heat index calculator

Worst app. I have to use this app for work and it does not even work. It doesn’t update every hour like it supposed to

Helps has Alarm which is great. Need to be updated, when in danger it should read on same page when working outside in direct sunlight breaks should be rotated ever XYZ minutes, drink xyz liquid and shade. Also there should be the OSHA rule on the app. Reminders to everyone what happens if you have heat stroke or exhaustion. The part not talked about is after recovery, how you can no longer take the heat as you did. How this illness does XYZ to the body . Many do not know, and until educated wont. Unfortunately we can’t rely on all companies having the training resources. So at a minimum OSHA should add training to app., this I can promise will save a life and a few from getting the illness. That’s all you need is one to make this app pay itself off and 5 star rating. Chris South Carolina

Stopped working!. App was great until 7/8/2020 then quit working

Crashes. Works about 2% of the time? Glad it was free!

Worthless. Completely inaccurate temperatures, and why is this full of ADS?? Trash this app.

No data. Great idea, but app will not load any data to calculate heat index. iPhone 6, latest update

Awesome but could be better. This app it awesome but I won’t give 5 stars. Because it should give you notifications of warnings or have a alarm of high heat index to tell you you need to get inside.

Doesn’t work. Was super excited to use this but no matter what location I enter or ask for current location... it doesn’t work. Disappointed!

Temp off. Either the location services are off or bad. Reported temperatures and humidity are off by 7-10 degrees or points. Good idea, but may not be reliable. Will continue to check against weather apps.

Heat. This in fair the app no work properly When this app is heat 96 degrees the weather app is 110 degrees...

Useless. What’s the point if it’s not accurate? The Weather Channel app is way better.

Good overall but needs a few tweaks. It works well. A previous review had an issue with the weather data not matching weather apps, but that is easily edited onscreen so it isn't an issue to me. I do wish you could input geocoordinates, for the location. This is an issue for me and my workers because we work in somewhat remote locations. Maybe in the next release

Inaccurate. Temperature shown on this app is always lower than the actual temperature. No point in having it, deleting it.

Perfect quick reference. With work not having a heat break schedule in place, I would like to start using this simple tool as a reference to when it gets too hot. I’d like to request a push notification feature for when hazards reach the warning and danger zones. Or a heat index we can set based on our company heat break policy, if it gets established.

Good but..... Useful app but it gives different temperatures between iPhone app an android app. It supposed to pull data from the same place so why the difference.

Will not work in Canada. Won't work in Canada, or at least not in Newfoundland.

Alberta Canada. It does not work in Alberta either.

Doesn’t seem to work for any Canadian locations. 3 stars because it seems like a neat App, One downfall was I tried a ton of US locations and they all worked, Couldn’t find any Canadian locations

Great info. As everyone else has pointed out, this doesn’t work in Canada. It’s a US Government app, and likely pulls its location info from a US government source, hence the lack of Canadian data. Makes sense, we don’t pay their taxes to have them do their weather for us. That said, it still provides some helpful information for heat casualties and treatment, and if you insist on using an the app instead of just looking up an old fashioned chart, you could always game the app by using a weather app to get the “feels like” and then finding somewhere in the States with a similar one.

Too soon?. Looks great. Won’t load weather data in Canada. Was it designed to work here?

Does not work in Canada!. It should be a simple fix to make this work in Canada. It’s a shame that we cannot use the tool here!
