Where does the WBGT come from? From the National Weather Service’s hourly WBGT forecast for the grid cell your field sits in, about a mile and a half across. It’s a forecast, not an on-site measurement, so follow your district’s policy on when a meter reading is required.
Why is the WBGT lower than the air temperature? WBGT counts sun, wind and humidity as well as heat, so it runs below the air temperature. Every flag table is set in WBGT.
My field says “No WBGT forecast here”. The NWS doesn’t publish WBGT for every part of the country yet. You can still log meter readings there.
It says “Couldn’t refresh”. Flagcheck needs a connection to get a new forecast, and shows the last one it got until then. Tap Try again once you have signal.
Can I add a field outside the US? No. The NWS forecasts only cover the US.
My field has the wrong rules. Flagcheck picks them from the field’s state and county. Tap the gear on Today, tap the field and pick the rules your school follows. Schools near Texas’s Class 2 and Class 3 line, and TAPPS schools, should check this.
My meter reads higher than the forecast. Log meter readings at that field. After 3 of them, Flagcheck raises the field’s forecast by the middle of the gaps, and Readings and the PDF keep the NWS number beside it. It never lowers a forecast below the NWS’s, and it leaves out readings more than 8° off as likely typos. To turn it off, tap the flag on Today, then turn off Adjust forecast to my meter.
I’m not getting reminders. Make sure notifications are on for Flagcheck in Settings, then Apps, then Flagcheck. iOS lets an app keep only 64 reminders waiting, so Flagcheck schedules the nearest ones and tops them up whenever it opens or refreshes in the background. If the last reminder says to open Flagcheck, open it once.
How do I log a reading from a reminder? Press and hold the reminder, then tap Use forecast, or Enter meter reading and type the number in °F, like 86.4.
The countdown isn’t on my Lock Screen. Make sure Live Activities are on for Flagcheck in Settings. Each practice’s countdown starts on its own 30 minutes before, and one added after that starts when you save it. If you swiped it away or just updated Flagcheck, it’s back for the next practice.
How do I give my athletic director the log? Open Readings, filter by team and dates, tap Export, pick PDF or CSV and share it.
Which field does a widget show? The one open in Flagcheck. To pin a widget to one field, press and hold it, tap Edit Widget and pick the field.
What’s free? The flag for one field, hour by hour today. The unlock, paid once, adds more fields, the week ahead, reminders, the Lock Screen countdown, the log and its exports, the meter adjustment and the widgets.
I bought the unlock on another iPhone. Tap the gear on Today, then Restore purchase. Family Sharing is included.
