  • Needs options

    Need ability to turn off indoor sensors and set the conversion. Like it though!
  • Great app, just needs indoor option

    Simple and the resizeable widget is the best part! Only thing I would prefer is if I could see my indoor sensor.
  • Excellent

    Been looking for something like this for awhile. Super useful. Thanks Bret!
  • Thank you.

    Thank you for creating this simple and effective app. It’s thoughtful, timely and helpful.

    FYI to other reviewers:

    It should be clear—data is drawn directly from hyper-local Purple Air sensors, based on location.

    I’ve found these Purple Air readings to be far more consistently an accurate average of my local AQI than anything reported via Apple’s weather app—every single day.

  • Widgets!

    Thanks for this app! Love having PA data in an iOS widget. I own a PA indoors sensor and would love to have the option of seeing that data in addition to outside sensors.

    If I were king for a day I’d love to see a widget option with just two data points and no map. Maybe field one a favorite sensor (ex. my indoors sensor) and then field two the closest outdoors sensor. The current implementation is still worlds better than having to navigate the PA site on an iPhone though, thanks!

  • love this!

    Thanks for developing this! I live on the west coast and this widget is one of this first things I check before going out.

    Just fixed the bug in the update I just released! Thank you for using the app and taking the time to write a review
  • Look out your window.

    Inaccurate by a mile. App Reads AQI = 66. Apple Weather says AQI = 186. A look out our window confirms Apple’s gauge.
  • So simple and fast. Better widget than first-party data providers!

    This is such a simple app that give you just enough air quality information. The widget is just a perfect size and provides all the AQI data you need before heading out the door. Works well on iOS 14 on an iPhone 6s!
  • Thanks!

    Thanks Bret, this is the exact app that I needed to tie-in to my PurpleAir sensor and the PurpleAir map. No frills is fine - open the app or widget, and there are your location’s AQI readings in real time. Of course, your map interface allows pinching and zooming to other locations, as well.
  • Wish it had pollen data as well

    Extremely easy/basic interface. You can’t tap on a location to see additional details, it’s just the AQI #s laid on a map.

    I just have two wishes: 1) Pollen data for allergy sufferers 2) Notification options for when the quality drops below a specific level.
