Used to be great
Was great until the free app was no longer free to use.
Constant Logouts
The site will prompt you to purchase the monthly
or annual subscription and if you don’t, it forces you
to logout and doesn’t ever allow you to save your login information for some reason.

No more free tier
Almost all of these 5 star reviews are of the version of the app that was free. Now you have to pay for it.
Subscription needed
Really enjoyed this app when it was free. Moving to another one now that there’s a monthly charge to continue using.
Not free
This was great but now it is not free! It says that you can choose from free in the plans, but there is no free option! Anything to make a dollar I mean for that price I’ll just buy a wet bulb monitor!
No Free Option
It was good enough on the free option, but if I’m paying, there needs to be more offered.
No free tier option
Unfortunate that we have to pay to use the simple function for this app. This is an unnecessary money grab.
Sad that free tier is gone
Very little warning that free option is gone. Cannot even look at the app unless you start a trial or pay up. Is one of the few places you can get wet bulb temp notifications.
No longer a free tier - previously a worthwhile app
I only use this app periodically when I’m out in the heat. I don’t need the upsell features and don’t use it often enough to pay a subscription fee - please return a basic, free tier.
Easy and accurate
Zelus is accurate, fast, and easy. Well worth it.
Saving Lives
We use this product both in our home life for our young athletes and our business. Great product!
My GoTo WBGT app!
Having this app at my fingertips helps me, as an AT, make informed reports to field officials and game directors. To know whether activities need to be modified or canceled is invaluable knowledge that can save lives and keep spectators, athletes, and officials safe.
Not accurate
This app does not use accurate information for your specific location

Question Accuracy
This app helps support youth sports to provide a safe practice/playing environment. Don’t always agree with the overall rating for a particular time of the day. However, by following the guidelines provided student safety is highlighted.
Football
This app made me practice football when the temp was 107
no way to find out what it costs before you sign up
It's necessary to create an account before trying this even once. Nowhere in the App Store or at the Zelus website does it state how much it costs. Shame because it looks like it would be a really useful app. I don't know if it will cost a little or a lot -- not willing to create an account just to find out.

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. Zelus provides free WBGT readings at your phone’s last known GPS location. Because this is a professional safety tool, we ask for a name and email at sign up so we can contact users if a critical technical issue ever arises.
Excellent product
This app is an integral part of our athletics program. It helps keep the entire campus informed about dangerous weather conditions.
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing this. We’re glad to hear Zelus has become an important part of your athletics program and that it is helping keep your entire campus informed about weather risks. Protecting athletes and staff from dangerous conditions is exactly why we built the system, and feedback like yours means a lot to our team.

Decent app. Requires making free account
Works just fine for me and shows the Wet Bulb Global Temperature where I live in Massachusetts. If you are unaware WBGT is not how we normally measure temperature. It will look completely different than your normal forecasts and is useful for knowing how safe it is to exercise outdoors in your area.
I really didn’t like how I had to make an account. The app already asks for your location so there is no need for it to save other data just to deliver local weather. The built in weather app doesn’t need an account, this one shouldn’t either
