Very simple. I open it to get updates on the info it provides. So no pinging all the time in the background. Very simple and straight forward with a nice simple graphical display of heat index and wet bulb temps for my location and forecasts for those by the hour. Like the simplicity and the ability to expand the graphs both vertically and horizontally. I would suggest perhaps including a copy of the US Army heat card for the WBGT for viewing. Make it available if you tap on a button.

02/2024: "In the morning, sow your seed, and in the evening, do not let your hand rest. For you do not know which activity will find success ...." Eccles. 11:6, M.E.V. One of my 2 main, pro weather apps does refresh on weekends. I needed to compare the outside temperature. Surprisingly: this "Heat Safety" app gives both accurate heat index & wind chill. It is brief & simple; yet, very dependable. 😊

Doesn't work. Just shows a search bar and a button that says Get Heat Safety Assesment. Cust. service contacted me with instructions but still does not work after following them. Maybe it doesn't work outside the US.
