Not updating/Loading

App was perfect with location and temperatures. I loved the gauge to tell you if you were in danger or needed to take precaution. The past week it has not loaded or updated. Please fix.

I travel the country and have referred to this app in many places.
It is always precise, accurate and very helpful.
I love the precautionary, symptom and fist aide tabs…..
Also available in Spanish so communication is not an issue.
Love it and share it with everyone!

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.

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.

Had an issue that wouldn’t allow me to open it. It’s fixed now so everything’s kosher on my end

Response from developer

Recently, this app experienced issues with the connection to the weather data source that is used in this app. We have released an update which will identify this issue should it occur again. The app should now be functioning again. We appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the app.

Needs a lot of work

Concept is great, but only having hourly forecast and not realtime does not help.

App not working properly

Seems to be, not reliable

This is always off and showing less heat, other apps more accurate in my opinion. Sometimes it just doesn’t work

Connection Error

We’re told to use this app at work and it never works right. First it wouldn’t open for weeks. It worked for a week after being updated and now it just won’t show any data. This is on both phones and the 15 other guys in my group.
