PHS vs Was It Fatigue?
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
PHS
This app analyzes and interprets thermal risk by calculating predicted heat strain based on user-entered data and ISO 7933:2004 formulas. It offers graphical illustrations and summaries to help manage thermal risks associated with tasks or environments.

The PHS application analyses and interprets thermal risk using calculations of predicted heat strain. The application applies predicted heat strain formulae outlined in ISO 7933:2004 Ergonomics of the thermal environment, to provide a graphical illustration and summary of predicted heat strain based on user entered data. The application may also be used to analyse methods of reducing or managing thermal risk associated with a task or environment. However, the application is to be used as a guide only. It does not provide safe/ unsafe working limits. A number of factors are not included in this assessment, such as: employee health conditions and the use of high level PPE (impermeable suits). There are limitations to the predicted heat strain calculations, once you approach the defined parameters outlined in Table A.1 within ISO 7933:2004. For more information about the application and to access a downloadable user guide for the application visit the Website at http://ergonomics.uq.edu.au/PHS/index.html. The development of this application was funded via a joint study between The University of Queensland, Faculty of Science and Rio Tinto. Developed at Stellar Science LTD.

Was It Fatigue? is a quick and easy to use app that makes the latest FRM science available to incident investigators. Was It Fatigue? quantifies the likelihood that fatigue contributed to an incident by assessing for both the presence of fatigue and the nature of the error that caused the accident, incident or near-miss. Together, these provide a scientifically validated, consistent and repeatable approach to assessing Fatigue Accident Likelihood. - Fatigue Science made user friendly and practical We’ve done all the hard work, so you don’t have to. Drawing on world leading fatigue management expertise. - Experience you can trust Was It Fatigue? combines 30 years of evidence-based fatigue and sleep research with deep industry experience. - Safer Operations Companies are able to identify controls to ensure that potential future occurrences are identified and eliminated.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PHS at none against Was It Fatigue?'s 2. PHS also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Was It Fatigue?'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
