1/5No longer updates GPS with current iOS
Fraudulent sale. Should be pulled from App Store. Where is Apple quality control??

Greetings · 31 Jul 2026
3/5Mostly Good
I would rate this app as excellent, except it falls into the trap that many apps (and organizations) do that use an severity scale. WeatherFX doesn't show the scale, so you're left to guess what the colors mean in relation to each other. Is red worse than black or is it the other way around? Why do I have to guess at this? A simple depiction of the scale anywhere in the app would fix this fatal flaw. Note to developer: Please fix this. An simple image would do. It doesn't need numbers against it. Just show the colors in order.

1/5Useless weather station
The only weather station is a couple hundred miles away. Useless.

5/5Legit
This is the only app that provides Wet Bulb measurements and it uses WBGT to give real-time USMC flag conditions.

1/5Inaccurate Wet Bulb Calculation
This app provides inaccurate wet bulb temperature estimates.
