  • 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.
  • It’s working again!

    Data refresh is working again. This has been my absolute favorite (and ad-free) air quality app for several years.
  • Data Not Updating

    This worked fine for quite a while. Unfortunately it is no longer updating with current information. It is now over a week out of date.
  • Sensor data is incorrect!

    The new particulate sensor data shown in the app is not correct. In my area, the app shows readings that are much lower than the actual correct sensor readings (as shown on the Purple Air website). Do not use this app to make decisions regarding air quality or personal health and safety!
  • Great Public Service App

    It’s a simple, no strings attached, app that shows your location and nearby Purple Air sensors. Your choice of EPA AQI or Purple’s. It even has widgets for at a glance data. Really simple app and great implementation using Apple Maps and sensor data isn’t obscured by your location dot. Thank you for coding this!!! 💙

  • Great app, needs to support EPA conversion for PA data

    Useful and intuitive app. However, the EPA conversion for the Purple Air data is not supported. This is a big gap for making the data useful.
  • This is the one!

    This app actually has live data all the time, yay!
  • Purple Air

    With iPhone you can read only the air quality
    Whereas with android you can read at least air quality and Outdoors temperature at your purple air sensor
    I experienced the iPhone app unable to read an air quality of zero from my PurpleAir sensor
  • Great App just not accurate 100%

    Love the app but not sure where the data comes from or how often it’s updated we my sensor shows up on the purple air map on the webpage but using this app it does not show up.
  • EPA

    Please tell me if the EPA setting shows the 24-hour average as required for a real EPA AQI? Otherwise it is not usable as a realistic EPA number.
