Best air quality app for China
Air quality data in China is often unreliable, but the numbers in this app are generally the most accurate when compared to other data sources, my personal air quality sensor, and visibility. The app also offers historical data for different locations going back years, which is super helpful to see changes over time.
‼️NOTHING IN APP: major fire, bad air 10 miles away.

Lost My Places
Lost my places after updating to iOS 17.0 and can not save new places unless using “Hey Siri”
Unable to add locations 🫨
Unable to add locations Pay for Add free but the developer is not fixing the issue in the past 2 months. How much longer?
Incorrect AQI but good design
I compared current AQI of Mumbai and Pune with couple of other apps and found that it is showing different values.
The App has switched to subscription mode 这个 app 变成了订阅模式
更新之后变成了订阅模式，如果你不想每年付 $0.99 就不要升级。 This app has switched to subscription mode and costs $0.99 per year.
Not an honest calculation of air quality
In Zarinsk, the air is polluted by the Altai-coke plant and the rating that your program writes is completely different from reality.

Location not available

How are pollen counts measured?
I have this app to monitor pollen counts so I have a better idea of when to avoid outdoor activities. I don’t understand the “system” this app uses for counting pollen. Today the city of Atlanta broke a 35 year pollen record with multiple sources (not counting my own nose🤪) having the count over 14,000. Yet, this app shows the count as 10.4. One week ago local sources had Atlanta’s pollen count as 72 and yet this app showed it as 8.8. The difference between 72 and 14,000 (as measured locally) tells me the pollen has increased significantly. The difference between 8.8 and 10.4 (as measured by this app) implies a much less drastic increase in pollen. You can see that this app’s method of measuring clearly does not provide the user a clear picture of how high the pollen is (especially relative to previous days). I can’t find any other source that measures pollen the same way as this app so I have to really doubt the reliability of their data. If the pollen count in this app made sense, it would be great because it does work with Apple Watch. But, given this inconsistency in methodology, I also doubt the accuracy of the AQI and other measurements.

Am I losing it?
Wasn’t there a search function for adding new locations in prior versions? The new dropdown menu is idiotic. I have to know what county a city is in?? Or Am I just not seeing it?
Inaccurate status on O3
The current reading of O3 is 105, which, according to the US Standard table, should be unhealthy for sensitive groups, but is displayed as good. Other than that, it’s a very useful app.

Супер приложение. Надеюсь будет дальнейшее развитие.
This is a scam development team
The developers lack integrity. Previously, it was a buy-to-play model, where a single payment exempted users from ads. Later, perhaps feeling the revenue was too low, the developers removed the app, renamed it, and re-released it, switching to a subscription model. The previously purchased apps are now unusable.
Tiny bit of improvement needed
Well overall this app is great, now that’s outta the way. The app does have a small issue with it’s location, as with my location it is off by a few suburbs. So you may wanna look into it developers? 👌
Doesn’t work on Apple Watch without an iPhone nearby.
App on the Apple Watch has a pollen complication that doesn’t work if you walk away from the iPhone it’s paired to, even if you have a cellular Apple Watch. Why not? Can you fix this? I suffer chronically from allergies triggered by pollen from grass, flowers and trees and this app is no good to me if it can’t function properly.

Essential and Amazing
I’ve tried so many AQI (air quality index) apps. With the advent of the Canadian wildfire season, the air in the Midwest has been exceptionally awful. This app uses my location (and doesn’t put a hit on my battery) to keep me informed about the state of the air I breath. I use it multiple times a day. Being able to see WHAT is contributing to the AQI (PM2.5, O3, PM10, etc) is also useful for me. The Apple Watch complication works incredibly well! The level of detail that has gone into this app is remarkable. The home screen widgets work really well too. You can stop looking, you’ve found the right AQI app.
App not providing updated info.
Sent you an email regarding the issue. You didn’t responded. The air quality is stuck at 55 since last month’s. Thats abnormal.
Great air quality app!
One thing I don’t like about this app is that I have to turn off my VPN to see results. I am subscribed to remove ads and I wish that there were no VPN blocks. I’m using ProtonVPN
Too much delay
I had this app at 5 stars. Most concise UI, excellent customer service, but, the reports are 3 hours behind. So I sit hear with the app telling me it’s 71 outside, while the actual reading is 110. Such a big delay in the data updating renders the app basically useless. :(
Functional but broken
The Apple Watch complication feature does work but you cannot get it to update on the watch. I cannot switch the default setting from air quality index to pollen

Welcome to Cloak
500% price increase
Cancelled subscription after a 500% price increase.
Ok
Like the app but the index values don't equate to the Australian values so it's not really making much sense.
Way off
This app is not accurate in the least! It’s giving me a reading of 104 right now. And my Davis AirLink is reading 10.3. While my other app “Air Quality” is reading 15.
Color scale doesn’t match data
I like this app quite a bit, but it is frustrating that often a submeasure will display as green but when you click on scale, it’s actually moderate. The color scale should match the data and not give an overly favorable view.
A life saver
Clean readible app that not only provides data, but also recommends actions to take based on the data.
Complete trash
They get misinformation for government website airnow.gov which misleads you about air quality
Air quality
Great to see what’s around but would like to enter either general area like northern beaches or specific suburb eg dee why. My grandchild has health issue and it doesn’t really matter what the air is like 20 km away. Thanks
Would be five stars except…
For some unfathomable reason Air Matters mistakes Burbank, Ca for San Jose,,CA. If you fix this I would give Air Matters five stars, but having an unremovable and undesired city at the top of my list is unacceptable.
Getting error while adding cities
Getting the following error when trying to add another city. “The data couldn’t be read because it is not in the correct format.”

Accuracy and Transparency Matters
This app consistently shows air quality a full 10 points below several other apps with measurements taken in my neighborhood. The app nor the website tell you where the data is coming from, which is a big red flag for me. I’m open to new sources of data, however, must have some basis for comparison in order to judge which source to use. I’m further research this app began in China and has some content giveaways, showing it was not fully edited by US English-speaking editors. Accuracy matters it’s my family’s health.
Quite well polished app!
I haven’t used it lately, but there are bushfires today and I can see it’s bad here. For some reason if I tap on Naremburn (NSW, Australia) and swipe up to try to see more, the app crashes. Has happened twice. Was there a buggy update recently? ——————— Really, really love this app. It's beautiful AND useful! --------------- I'd say this is the best China AQI monitoring app on iOS. Most feature complete, lest buggy, best design, continual updates. It was worth paying to help the developer. Thanks! Design is beautiful, and having the weather as well as notifications when it gets worse is pretty cool. Less detailed info as Air Quality China app (you get to choose different monitoring stations per city and display average or max values per city, as well as choose US AQI levels) but this is very helpful still.
自动切换为中国空气质量标准bug
每次一更新，都会从自选的标准自动切换回中国标准，敢情空气质量标准还要讲究正确？每次发现都有被欺骗感......

Don’t waste your time
Would be awesome if...
There was a corner complication for the infographic watch face as well
Something changed ?
Something changed on the app within the last six weeks or so. Used to be able to see readings for my small town and many others around me. AQI’s used to be in small squares and literally covered my state (and others) with readings. Now the AQI readings are in circles, and there are only a few in my state, and they are in the same locations as US government / EPA sensors and they’re giving the same numbers as the EPA sensors. Did AirMatters switch to using government sensor data (???), which I’ve found to be much less accurate.
I have been using the app for 2 years
Every couple of month appears bug on the application that can’t make you connect the air purifier to the application and even when I remove device and re-paird it again it’s the same problem, conclusion with the updates they bugged the pairing, right now there’s problem that you can’t pair your device with wifi please developer solve it as soon as possible
Cleaning up our act now, Mother Earth will thank us.
Great view of the condition of the world air, even though it is rather depressing, we better get it together and work with each other. I am recommending the website to all my friend’s.

Doesn’t show your city in the list
Lahore was the 2nd worst polluted city and it doesn’t show in the list at all. Also can’t add other cities on your main page.
