Simple, Great
Exactly what I want. No junk. Wish they had a wind chill app, too!
Helps has Alarm which is great
Need to be updated, when in danger it should read on same page when working outside in direct sunlight breaks should be rotated ever XYZ minutes, drink xyz liquid and shade. Also there should be the OSHA rule on the app. Reminders to everyone what happens if you have heat stroke or exhaustion. The part not talked about is after recovery, how you can no longer take the heat as you did. How this illness does XYZ to the body . Many do not know, and until educated wont. Unfortunately we can’t rely on all companies having the training resources. So at a minimum OSHA should add training to app., this I can promise will save a life and a few from getting the illness. That’s all you need is one to make this app pay itself off and 5 star rating. Chris South Carolina
Off line
Please fix, use this all the time, when it is working. Suddenly it doesn’t work at all.
Does not work at all
How is this OSHA approved, when it can’t even stay open on my cellphone? I had just downloaded it and went through the tutorial panels… just for it to close the app and go back to my Home Screen. I tried reopening it several times… just to have it constantly close down again within— Not even a second! I saw the low stars and thought I’d give it a try despite the reviews. Shame on me to ignore other people’s warnings. Such a shame for a truly helpful idea of an app.

Location Services stopped working so the app no longer works
Not accurate temps.
This app shows consistently lower than actual temperatures for the same area. Recently it was off by over 7° (95 vs 102 actual). That’s not helpful or safe.
Perfect quick reference
With work not having a heat break schedule in place, I would like to start using this simple tool as a reference to when it gets too hot. I’d like to request a push notification feature for when hazards reach the warning and danger zones. Or a heat index we can set based on our company heat break policy, if it gets established.
