Great allergy app!!
This is by far the best app for tracking allergies. It includes dust and mold, as well as the seasonal vegetation based pollens. I have a wish list item: I’d like to see a graph section added that shows all categories overlapped together. Like blue line for weeds, red for trees, etc. Reason being that I would like to see if there is a tipping point for symptoms to kick in or get worse. I know I am sensitive to mold at some medium to high, and higher, levels. But there are also times when I have symptoms but can’t tell what the cause is, and I wonder if it’s because of a combination. I’ve swiped back and forth between categories to try to see a relationship, but a combined graph would, or might, make it much easier and plainer. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your excellent information.Appleigo
Finally!!!!
So awesome to have nearly real time, local data available for a seasonal allergy sufferer like me. I correlate my symptoms with the data from the app, and can manage my allergies way better now!smeadco

Thank you for your review! Many on our team are allergy sufferers themselves, which is why we created Pollen Wise to share the data from our network of advanced Automated Particle Sensors and the only hourly pollen count in the industry!No data anywhere near Sacramento, CA
I could not find a map that showed location of sensors, so I tried probably 20 of the major cities on the west coast, and all forecasts were based on a sensor that was “very far” away. Based on this search, I conclude that the forecast for Sacramento, California is based on a sensor in Las Vegas, NV. Different climate, more than a day’s drive away, different habitat for plants & molds…. It makes no sense.
I was surprised that the forecast showed zero tree pollen for Sacramento when there are a few trees in bloom & I see the clear signs of pollen, *and* it indicated that dust is our major issue which just doesn’t ring true at all for Sacramento in February.
So, there’s a detailed forecast provided, but it’s complete garbage. Super disappointing.
Perhaps this app is useful if you live in Denver or Las Vegas, but anywhere else in the west make sure you have a sensor “close” or the forecast may be utter nonsense.NorCalTulip

Description of Pollen Wise
Introducing home and lock screen widgets! Pollen Wise is the only seasonal allergy app that updates with hourly allergen reports. (Pollen Wise Plus subscription required for widgets)
Own Your Seasonal Allergies with Pollen Wise! Using a robust network of sensors around the United States and select other countries, Pollen Wise provides up-to-date pollen counts to help users mitigate allergens and avoid seasonal allergy symptoms. Customize Pollen Wise to put emphasis on the allergens that impact you the most, while still seeing levels across categories!
Pollen Wise is the only seasonal allergy app providing hourly allergen reports! Competing apps either use counts from yesterday or various other algorithms based on daily counts.
The advanced Automated Particle Sensor (APS) by Pollen Sense uses AI image processing to analyze images taken via a microscope to identify and classify allergens down to individual species. Particularly sensitive to Ragweed? Pollen Wise has you covered! Specific trees during tree season have your nose running? APS sensors find those too!
Airborne particulate levels can vary dramatically through the day! With Pollen Wise, you can see an up-to-date snapshot of allergens nearby and better plan your outside time.
The allergen journal feature allows you to log your symptoms to later see snapshots of your symptoms and allergen levels at that time. Please consult with a specialist if you suffer from seasonal allergies. As airborne particulate levels are impacted by weather conditions, levels can change dramatically.
While many features of Pollen Wise are free, some features require a subscription (Pollen Wise Plus). Unlock access to more historical data, an upgraded journal experience, home/lock screen widgets, and more with Pollen Wise Plus!
