Primary Pollutant List
Who knew Denver had Nitrous Dioxide as a primary pollutant? Thank You for educating me!
Annoying
Asks you to review every time you open settings
“Renting” is fine!
Just wanted to counter a review written by someone who says they don’t rent apps. There’s nothing wrong with subscription pricing and developers and designers have to make. Slicing. Keep up the good work!
Could be great...
A clean simple and straightforward interface just showing the air quality. Could be a great app… Save for the fact that the refresh function does not work. To actually refresh the air quality data one needs to either click on the station in the list, or quit and re-open the app.
Uses too much data
I was on a trip for a week and iOS said this app used 1GB of cellular data! Even in my home area it used almost 900MB for the previous month. Way too much data usage for an app like this.
Awesome and Clean Design
I love this app and check it often. I love the layout, it's both easy to use and very clean looking.
Worthless
Does not tell me anything I don't already know.
Make sure there are detectors in your global position
I can’t use the app because there are no detectors in my part of the world but the support from Air Lookout is helpful and professional
Can’t remember where it is
You would think an app could remember its location from use to use but this app is too stupid to remember. Unless you let it check any time it wants, it just fails. You can trick it. If you quit the app then restart it, it thinks it’s lost then works. If you just switch to another app then switch back it’s brain dead. This is a sadness. Response to author: until Apple gives us the ability to share our what3words square or 1000 foot square it seems zip code is the right thing for privacy. All the other weather apps do it this way ( see WeatherBug ). Most let me add many so I can easily see what’s happening where my parents live or any other place. For privacy, the app remembering feels ( and is ) more privacy that if I must allow the app to see my location within feet.
Please add push notifications
In overall a good app. Please add the option to get push notifications when the air quality level is higher than a given specific level/target and location selected by the user.
Great Air Quality App
Clear presentation, clean interface, easy to use, has a nice map feature, no clutter. I use it every day.
Don’t Like New Format
Doesn’t give me as much info as old one.
Overalll I like it
I like the goal of presenting an easy to read aggregate of available information. I wish I could look at other locations, not just where I am at the moment.
Not quite
It’s a nice app but doesn’t quite live up to expectations. The data is not accurate (we have a very smoky, orange sky, and this app says ‘moderate’ (53) where other national weather apps put us at 158). Also, difficult to get to show info without location data. I don’t want to share location but just search by city/zip. The map saves this app, when I can get to it, past the location data requirement.
My station missing most important data!
I was excited to try this app specifically to get small, fine particulate matter and ozone because that is precisely the pollution generated in my air by landscape maintenance equipment, blowers being the worst! Please advise how I can contact my local station and get them to add this data. If I can get that, this app will be perfect!
Love the detail this app has
The details of the information this app has is fantastic. The readout of the pollution in the air is worth the app. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Worthless app.
No worth subscription! To the developer: Keep the app for your own personal use, we don’t want it.
Does not have a complication
One review mentions the Apple Watch complication. No such thing, just an app on the watch. The app description doesn't itself claim there is a complication, but I was misled by the review so wanted to clarify.
Inaccurate and location required.
This week had been bad with fires, smokes, and falling ashes. App says good! Wrong! Why does app require location? Why can’t it be optional and let me enter location even if not currently?
No time stamps
The description implies that the information is updated every hour and the latest EPA data is shown. This does not appear to be the case. It doesn't display a time stamp so you can't tell how old the data is.
Nice app
I am slowly getting use to the app. It is helping to understand outside conditions so I can better control my asthma.
No station in Folsom, Ca
App thinks i live in Roseville. Umm, nope, thats 20 miles away in a different county. Not sure why it isn't connecting to the folsom station, but going to delete as it’s not helpful for me.
Good App, One Suggestion
App provides good air quality information in a simple, clean layout. One suggestion - on the Apple Watch complication, please give the user the ability to choose which air quality statistic to display. I live in an area where pollen is high, so I always see the pollen number rather than AQI on the complication. Would like to have the option to see AQI at all times.
Thought It Was Good
I love the layout and idea of this app, but I lost faith in it these last few days during the Woolsey fire. It's told me all these days that the air quality here in LA is good..as it's raining ash.
Good for fire conditions
Great to check for particulate counts when the fire smoke roles through your area.
Dangerous app
I have never left a negative review in the App Store before. I feel if an app does not need my needs, I can delete it and not worry about it. However, this app is dangerous. I live in an area that has been surrounded by wildfires for over a month. You’ve probably read about one of them – the Carr Fire – or heard about it in the national news. Because of the extensiveness of the fires to the south, north, east, and west of us, the air quality our community has generally been dangerous (an AQI of 150 or higher). This app consistently has under reported the air-quality in our community, saying it is "good" with AQIs around 30. It has also significantly under reported the air quality in Redding, California, where the Carr Fire began and claimed three lives and destroyed almost 1200 buildings. This malfunction is not on the same level as a malfunction of the game. People's lives depend upon the accuracy of air quality reports. And they are not getting it from this app. People in the high risk category jeopardize their health in bad air. And it’s not as simple as looking outside to see if it is smoky. Because of the nature of these fires, we have had days that appear relatively clear, but the air quality is very poor because of ozone as well as small particulates. I emailed the developer of this app and explained the problem. I was hoping to get a response from him, but I’ve received none. So, for your safety, do not download this app. I’m going to contact Apple to see if it can be removed from the App Store.
So so
For an app you have to pay for, it is very simple and does not provide some things I have enjoyed in free apps. I like there is no advertising.
Excellent Resource
Handy to have the information.
Demands Location Services
Offers NO utility without Location Services' inherent loss of privacy, making me question the app's actual motive.
Finally!
As someone with a breathing disability who’s job is mainly outdoors, I’ve been searching for an app to replace the American lung associations app that no longer works with IOS upgrades. My search is now over! This app not only shows the current air quality of my location, but nearby areas that I have to work in. THANK YOU! Simple to use. Easy to understand. Figured it out in less than five minutes. I use it every morning.
Doesn’t work, not worth the money
Invest your time and money in a different app. Very very disappointing.
great app
great app! finally something usable with this data. keep up the good work!
Doesn’t work in Bangkok
Trying to use in Thailand on iPhone X, doesn’t work, no location detected and just says “Title Here” for the city, Waste of money.
Feature Request
Love this app, wish it had local device notifications for poor conditions.
