Game Changing
There are over 15 PurpleAir stations in my town giving real time pm2.5 data. It's invaluable to know whether it's safe to exercise vigorously outdoors or not. This app has changed everything, and the yearly membership is dirty cheap.
Hijacks my phone
I can't get it to shut off- this is a new problem. It appears in the oval at the top of the iPhone and nothing turns it off....
Helpful
I find PAKU to be more useful and specific than what I find on the weather app on my phone.
A possible improvement….
Would be nice to see the Canadian AQI numbers as an option… or atleast tell in the description that it’s on US.
Easy to use app; wish I could view fewer sensors
It is much easier to use this app than to go to the Purple Air website.
Pretty Good
It’s fairly intuitive and has a lot of sensors readable on the map. The ‘zoom out’ to just see colors of sensors is helpful for a regional overview. I wish it had a ‘play’ feature so you could play the changes in air quality over 1, 3 or 7 days, both for a regional view and for specific sensors. It’s pretty good at screening out errors on specific sensors. The new version 8/13/2026 has darker colors for red, almost brown. I like the brighter red for the 100+ AQI. Showing raw pm 2.5 is helpful because EPA AQI is a bizarre nonlinear equation. Sensitive groups?! That’s non-scientific bs, like saying cigarette smoke is bad for sensitive groups. The EPA is behind the times. Wildfire smoke increases Alzheimer’s risk, (especially if you’re over 70) heart attacks, strokes, miscarriages, pulmonary diseases. Look it up on PubMed.
Very helpful!
We have been using the Paku Air Quality and AQI Map for a couple of years as a quick reference during wildfires in our area and loved ones’ areas. It has been extra helpful when we are deciding which outdoor activities are safe for the kids and when we need to stay indoors.
Good app
Great interface and straight to the point, but at least in my city the app shows just a few points, even Google maps shows more spots of air quality, so I hope it updates on the future.
Reliable
Got this app during the Covid-19 lockdown, while a lot of fires brought heavy smoke across our neighborhood (I have asthma). The app proved itself amazingly reliable and helpful. Thank you so much!
Air quality evidence
A great app and mission to raise air quality awareness. My app only shows Fahrenheit 😕
Awesome App - a lifesaver
During the summer fire season, I use Paku Air every day to check the air quality in my neighborhood and area that I am in. With the accurate information, I am able to ascertain whether I need to wear a mask when outdoors, if I can open my windows and if I can go camping. So invaluable to staying healthy! Thank you Paku folks.
pretty ok
it needs more support for canada as there arent as much data in canada provinces and or territories
Very helpful
Quickly and clearly gives us the local air quality. I use it every day.
An easier way to check local air quality sensors
Paku is much easier to read and use than the Purple Air website. You can localize it wherever you are. You can create favorites and save them. With the purple Air website, every time you use it, you have to change the setting for a conversion to US AQI. With Paku. As a default is US AQI. You can also view the temperature reading from any sensor on the same screen as the AQI. All this is with the free version.
Easy to navigate
I especially appreciate the easy toggle between indoor, outdoor, or both monitors
Super snappy
Way faster than the mobile website
Essential Tool
Living in SoCal you need a quick way to determine what the current AQ is before you go out to exercise (or really open up your windows to the outside). Paku seamlessly integrates Purple Air Sensors with Air Now Sensors on one screen. You can set favorite locations and can tap into a detailed look at all 3 of the Air Now sensors’ data points PM2.5 PM10 and Ozone. Integrates with Apple Watch as well. Outstanding App.
