So, I open the app to see how bad and is says we’re good, at 2. Please fix this. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work in Winnipeg *2025-07-30, version 6.14.16* Looks like a great app but I just get “insufficient data” for my Winnipeg location, so not useful. ### 3/5 — Map widget problems *2025-06-12, version 6.14.16* The map widget randomly changes from dark to light mode without any good reason. Sometimes the widget is showing up light, other times it’s dark. Add a setting that lets me choose how I want it to display please. ### 3/5 — How are pollen counts measured? *2025-03-31, version 6.14.16* I have this app to monitor pollen counts so I have a better idea of when to avoid outdoor activities. I don’t understand the “system” this app uses for counting pollen. Today the city of Atlanta broke a 35 year pollen record with multiple sources (not counting my own nose🤪) having the count over 14,000. Yet, this app shows the count as 10.4. One week ago local sources had Atlanta’s pollen count as 72 and yet this app showed it as 8.8. The difference between 72 and 14,000 (as measured locally) tells me the pollen has increased significantly. The difference between 8.8 and 10.4 (as measured by this app) implies a much less drastic increase in pollen. You can see that this app’s method of measuring clearly does not provide the user a clear picture of how high the pollen is (especially relative to previous days). I can’t find any other source that measures pollen the same way as this app so I have to really doubt the reliability of their data. If the pollen count in this app made sense, it would be great because it does work with Apple Watch. But, given this inconsistency in methodology, I also doubt the accuracy of the AQI and other measurements. ### 1/5 — Buggy app *2025-03-12, version 6.14.16* Devs need to fix a lot of outstanding issues to make this app any good. Look and layout are great but nothing updates reliably rendering it rather useless. Apple Watch app is particularly unusable and needs devs to review the entire codebase. ### 3/5 — Dark mode widget map *2025-01-23, version 6.14.13* Please allow the widget map to be set to dark mode. It currently only shows the light mode map ### 3/5 — Inaccurate status on O3 *2025-01-09, version 6.14.13* The current reading of O3 is 105, which, according to the US Standard table, should be unhealthy for sensitive groups, but is displayed as good. Other than that, it’s a very useful app. ### 1/5 — Complete trash *2024-12-23, version 6.14.13* They get misinformation for government website airnow.gov which misleads you about air quality ### 3/5 — 报 *2024-11-02, version 6.14.13* 图标同步 数据有错 ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2024-09-12* São Paulo had the worst air quality of all times last week and Air Matters was not showing that. ### 1/5 — Used to work by stopped connecting *2024-09-02, version 6.14.10* It used to work but no longer need to the device. Tried removing the device and re-add but still kept saying cannot enter Philips setup ### 1/5 — Air Purifier on network but can’t connect to it *2024-07-17, version 6.14.10* Trying to add a Phillips air purifier to the air matters app on a new router (upgraded my internet), it always fails on connecting to the air purifier once it’s on the network saying Discovery Time Out. So now I bought an Air Purifier that I can’t even connect to on the app. It worked about a year ago but clearly the updates broke something. Would no longer recommend. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ‼️NOTHING IN APP: major fire, bad air 10 miles away. *2026-08-16, version 6.15.0* ‼️NOTHING IN APP: major fire, bad air 10 miles away. ### 1/5 — Not an honest calculation of air quality *2026-08-14, version 6.15.0* In Zarinsk, the air is polluted by the Altai-coke plant and the rating that your program writes is completely different from reality. ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2026-05-21, version 6.15.0* App doesn’t work anymore. You can connect to any air purifier, it keeps saying there is a problem with the WiFi ### 1/5 — Completely incorrect *2026-05-01, version 6.15.0* I had been using this app religiously and was happy. However the last 3 weeks the pollen forecast has been showing as significantly lower than the reality. It conflicts with all other apps and my symptoms. I won’t be using anymore. If you want accuracy, I’d go somewhere else. ### 1/5 — 亮黄色数字都看不清 *2026-03-16, version 6.15.0* 亮黄色看不清数字 ### 1/5 — This is a scam development team *2026-01-01, version 6.15.0* The developers lack integrity. Previously, it was a buy-to-play model, where a single payment exempted users from ads. Later, perhaps feeling the revenue was too low, the developers removed the app, renamed it, and re-released it, switching to a subscription model. The previously purchased apps are now unusable. ### 1/5 — All their measurements are inaccurate *2025-12-24* I’ve cross verified with 10 other website. All the giving similar value but this is the only application giving unnatural value. 20 AQI in tier 2 city in India in winter - you gotta be kidding me ### 1/5 — App not providing updated info. *2025-12-03, version 6.15.0* Sent you an email regarding the issue. You didn’t responded. The air quality is stuck at 55 since last month’s. Thats abnormal. ### 1/5 — Of Little Use *2025-07-10, version 6.14.16* Used to have very accurate and extensive mapping of UK pollution readings, but now the detail has gone. SO2 coverage very sparse, same with NO2. Not much use any more. Happened to coincide with the huge increases in pollution in the UK from around January, 2025. ### 1/5 — 500% price increase *2025-06-08, version 6.14.16* Cancelled subscription after a 500% price increase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best air quality app for China *2026-02-25, version 6.15.0* Air quality data in China is often unreliable, but the numbers in this app are generally the most accurate when compared to other data sources, my personal air quality sensor, and visibility. The app also offers historical data for different locations going back years, which is super helpful to see changes over time. ### 5/5 — The App has switched to subscription mode 这个 app 变成了订阅模式 *2025-11-04, version 6.15.0* 更新之后变成了订阅模式，如果你不想每年付 $0.99 就不要升级。 This app has switched to subscription mode and costs $0.99 per year. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert sehr gut! Denn *2025-02-12* Funktioniert sehr gut mit unseren Philips Luftreinigern! Toll und zuverlässig, auch die Benachrichtigungen kommen gut an. Klasse, App läuft auch stabil. ### 5/5 — Maps *2024-12-05, version 6.14.15* Maps a bit difficult to manage ### 5/5 — How much *2024-11-16, version 6.14.13* So I’ve happily been paying the subscription charge for this each year for add free as I’ve found this app extremely helpful because of my hay fever even more so because it’s on my watch. ### 5/5 — Пушка *2024-09-12, version 6.14.10* Супер приложение. Надеюсь будет дальнейшее развитие. ### 5/5 — Essential and Amazing *2023-07-26, version 6.14.7* I’ve tried so many AQI (air quality index) apps. With the advent of the Canadian wildfire season, the air in the Midwest has been exceptionally awful. This app uses my location (and doesn’t put a hit on my battery) to keep me informed about the state of the air I breath. I use it multiple times a day. Being able to see WHAT is contributing to the AQI (PM2.5, O3, PM10, etc) is also useful for me. The Apple Watch complication works incredibly well! The level of detail that has gone into this app is remarkable. The home screen widgets work really well too. You can stop looking, you’ve found the right AQI app. ### 5/5 — 5. 16.0 o posterior. *2023-07-03, version 6.14.6* Welcome to Cloak ### 5/5 — Air Mate *2023-06-16* Отлично и на Apple Watch ### 5/5 — A life saver *2023-06-08, version 6.14.6* Clean readible app that not only provides data, but also recommends actions to take based on the data. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
