Awesome app! A must have if you care about your health and city.

Great app one of a kind. Air quality monitoring app in a class of its own

It helps a lot to know when pollution is high. I always have medical breathing issues that I need to be careful of. Thanks for the help!

Tried again. Removed. Why did you change the look? It's awful. I can't see the information easily any more. You've lost all my stored locations. It's cluttered and really awkward to use. Horrible design. I don't like the reminders to buy. The confidence index has gone - bad move! To see PM2.5, you have to do a new page! So clunky. Why is weather on there? Whose data? You want my location on? No! Sorry for this rant, but I'm so disappointed and am again removing this 125MB app.

For what it is, the app tells you the best estimate of air quality in an environment. [2022 Edit] the unannounced non-availability of the Flow sensor app during February 2022 raises questions on the reliability of the key benefit of the sensor app - live access and mapping from sensors. Very disruptive - cut stars to two for this app but what is the point without support for the sensors? Don't buy the sensor until full service is returned. March and still no app!

I can't attest to the accuracy, based on what I see published elsewhere, it's not "wrong". But is it spot on for the reading at my house? Dunno. What I can say is that it is easy to use! I like the layout and the hour by hour readings. When I wake up short of breath I can see that at 4am the air was really bad because of the smoke and is much better at 8am. If there is anything I don't like is the area map. The color only shows on the roads. Do it as an overlay so we can see the coast!
