  • 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?
  • Does not work!

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

    App was great until 7/8/2020 then quit working
  • 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

  • Crash-a-roni

    The app can’t even get started before it crashes.
  • 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.

  • Crashing

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

  • 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!
  • 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)
