    This app is never right it's always off any where from 2 to 6 degrees which drastically alters the heat index index says 101 right now and it's actually 111. If this is gonna be the definitive source for jobs to judge working conditions it should be more accurate

    OK app. There should be a reason given on why it went from 5 categories to 3. It should also use WBGT since that is what OSHA will use to issue you a citation.
