Quality
I check this apt a few times a week to see if air in my home is stabilizing. I added an air purifier in a few rooms.
it could be useful, but…
I'm trying to figure out how to use it, and using Google's AI Overview for Assistance, but as I go to another tab… and then come back, and BAM there's an ad already, and it's difficult to even find the instructions again, without having to deal with that ad, JUST to figure out how to use it… Just cool off on the ads, will you? The "air quality" on this app is filthy.

I do not like having to see advertisements When we are on your app!!!
Meh.
This is barely helpful. Not enough details.
Data not local enough
Shows data for a broader area around where I live, but not where I am specifically, so local air quality monitors are much more accurate
Not working
It just quit working
Not very useful
Filled with adds, confusing layout, lack of useful information. If you are just looking for an app that tells you the basics, maybe this one is ok?
Meh
The opening screen is always an advertisement, with the icon to go to AirNow in a very small font.
App has different AQI than website?!?
Just like I said, on the website it says current AQ as being good, but the app says "moderate" ...which one is correct??
Inconsistencies
App is not always consistent with what is on the Airnow.com website. I got an alert email saying the air quality in my area is Unhealthy, and the app is reading as Excellent.
Great
Nice to know what you are breathing to help protect your self.
Never accurate
It’s always wrong by a large gap
Not as accurate…
This app is disappointing. I need to know what air quality is and in my area it often says everything is fine when my local news and my radar app are warning of poor air quality
Was great
But now keeps crashing the second try to open it up
Totally out of sync
During the Canadian wildfires that blanketed SE Michigan in hazy smoke and AQI scores in the 500s on local news, this app was stating “Moderate “ in the 100s and didn’t update to dangerous until the worst was past, three entire days later. So that ranks it as useless. No way to contact anyone in charge, so double useless.
RC resident
Index is always massively higher than several other options (i.e. South Coast AQMD). And information is often disrupted with advertising, not so with other options.
IPF patient
I look forward to maximizing avoidance of IPF exacerbations that reduce my life expectancy.
Annoying ads
One ad claimed that I was out of storage space -and was prompting me to click on the ax to clean the situation up. The ads pop up first, and have to be bypassed. Worse, a wildly inaccurate value for particulate levels reported. Deleted app and do not recommend. Go to the website instead for airnow.gov.
OK by me!!!
So far-great!!!

Excellent, an accurate
I like this app because it’s excellent in accurate and very easy to use and give you all the information you need. I am very happy with it download it today and you won’t be sorry. It is really cool it’s nice to know the air quality information.
Junk
This app says the air quality for my location is good at 36. The air quality here is actually 267 Would Give it no stars if I could
Je respire mieux
Depuis cette appli
Won’t even stay open
Downloaded to use when we head to Colorado but I can’t even get to the home page because the app crashes before it opens. Even deleted and reinstalled, and turned off the phone to restart. Not sure what is wrong or why it is rated so highly if this is the extent of it.
Not accurate!
Air IQ gives my location a hazardous rating and this one says air quality is good! How could these two apps have it so different?
Not accurate
I tried to explain in detail this app is often wrong and has lots of pushy ads. Readings never concur with other reliable sources.
