Constant Errors

Ironically this app only seems to work when you aren’t in a danger zone for heat index. I use this app for work and every time time we check around noon or when we know the heat index should be high the app has an error. I have it two stars because when the app works it’s very good, but in an error state you can’t even look at the other tabs like symptoms.

Works for me

I work outside , middle of day, middle of summer every year all year. Have had this app for about 5 months now and it is my go to. Allows me to avoid days that are in extreme, shows what symptoms to look out for in heat related health issues and what to do when they happen. Breaks it down hourly, the temp and “feels like” categories. It overall I like this app.

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.
