User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆False data! Guard your health
I’ve noticed that the air quality sensors have not changed in 2+ months. They’re all reading green in my area regardless of EPA or Purple selected.
Yet when checking other apps or Apple weather I’m getting health warnings with drastically different readings at the same time. I’m very upset I’ve been using this app the whole time post-fires, this is a huge health hazard to be misleading people.
★★☆☆☆Sensors disappeared
A couple years ago I could see the numbers on outdoor sensors in my area. Now I only see indoor sensor numbers. Why?
★★★★★Widget!
This app has a map widget! Now I don’t have to consciously check; there’s just a map starting at me whenever I check my phone. This will prevent at least one asthma attack for me as smoke season begins, and probably more.
★★★★★Great Job
Exactly what I wanted for both the app and the widget!
★★☆☆☆Why no Purple Air indoor sensor - can’t find app in IOS settings
Only displays Outdoor PurpleAir sensor?
Why doesn’t it show up in iOS privacy or
App setting?
