  • Stopped working

    Worked great last year. Went to start using it this year as the temps started to warm and it will not open. I liked it when it did work though.

  • Great app but...

    I loved this app and used it daily to determine if it was safe to play tennis or other outside activities here in Florida. Today was the first time I opened the app and it opens secures my location then closes before I can see any data. I have removed and reinstalled from the app store but still doesn't work 😒 Please fix!

  • Crashes 100% of the Time

    Downloaded this app after attending an OSHA Heat Illness training program. Have not even been able to use the app because it crashes 100% of the time when I try and enter in my location.

    I’m sure the next time an OSHA inspector is on my job site and fines me $17k for not following proper heat stress protocols, when I tell him the app doesn’t work he will tell me that’s not an excuse.

    And I can only imagine how many millions of dollars the government spent on this unusable app.

  • Was Once Good

    I work in the wind industry and we used this app all the time to not over exert ourselves while 400’ in the air. But the app now only crashes after it is opened and has been this way for several months. Thanks OSHA for letting down all you brother and sister who work outdoors…….

  • Was great, but keeps crashing

    Recently downloaded this app and was really appreciating using this as a resource. But for the last week the app has been crashing on my personal and work phones. It needs an update.

  • Constant Crashes

    Used to work on my iPad and iPhone fine. Both are up to date with the latest iOS versions. Heat Index app now opens and promptly closes when trying access it.

  • Not working

    This app used to work and when it did it was a great tool. Using iOS 17.4.1 and the app opens but crashes immediately. There are no updates to run so the app is useless. No updates for the phone either. No update in over 11 months. Hopefully someone can get this figured out.

  • Good overall

    The app was great, but now has started crashing upon startup. Currently running on iOS 16.3.1 and no, I refuse to update my iOS due to being burned on that in the past on my iPhone 6S.
