Not a single review opining the cost of developing this app has even stopped to consider the benefit of this app, or the cost for people not having this information. Bush took a record surplus and left with a record deficit and borrowed trillions to fight a war on false pretenses. Billionares not paying an equivalent in taxes to middle class Americans costs us billions every year. That is only the tip of the iceberg. Yet, you complain about $200k? And you do do so with ZERO consideration for the cost effectiveness this could provide in saving businesses in lost time and workers comp, much less the medical cost we all shoulder, and the cost to human life. You contribute nothing worthwhile to a discussion when you ignorantly blast your opinions because you have a political axe to grind.
That said the app appears to be useful and is convenient. It provides useful information to people who dont know what WBGT or a Heat Stress Exposure TLV is, which is probably most people. It is a convenient tool for workers who work outside and are far more likely to have a smartphone than a computer with Excel. If they had the convenience of doing the calculations on Excel they would be working inside, not working outside.
As a professional in the health and safety field, I believe this appears to be a useful tool so far. I also applaud OSHAs attempt to get this critical information to the people who need it most in a very modern and convenient way. I would recommend employees and supervisors who work outside in hot climates give it a try.
