Paku for PurpleAir App Reviews

As someone at higher health risk, I appreciate the accurate data collection to help warn when wildfire smoke rolling in. It’s not great that this is an annual thing now, but I appreciate the use of citizen science to help out! Also outside of wildfire season, it has other data as well and a useful widget!

Thanks to the response from the developer I now understand you can go to settings in the ap and select which conversion you want…choose between US EPA or or live “purple air”. Thank you! Highly recommend.

looks like some liberals made this app

I’m sensitive to wildfire smoke, and this app actually allows me to monitor air quality on my block in real time. I also use it to get more accurate local temperature measurements. The app also has great design and is well built! Massive kudos and thank you!

I was looking for some thing that would interact with our sensors in and outside the house. A couple of the features of this app stand out: family sharing, widgets, custom alerts, multi-device native viewing. It’s thoughtfully developed.

Very useful and well designed. I look at it frequently, especially when traveling,

I had an issue with the icon not changing after an update but that seems to be resolved now.

We use this app for a mine job site so lots of people have this app. The numbers for every person are different by sometimes hundreds of points. Why? This needs to be addressed. 17 users looking at the same sensor should all see the same number.

Comparing Paku's AQI numbers to other apps and online monitoring sites, it is frequently radically higher than the numbers any other site is measuring. Just today I saw there was an AQI of 1100 at one location. That's unheard of, and is radically different than any other site was mentoring at the exact same time. And on a regular basis I've often found their numbers to be off by well over 100 points. .
