### 5/5 — Do not pull from the store!

*2023-08-30*

I use this app daily and it has been my favorite air quality in app by far.

I miss being able to go to a point on the map and find out what the air quality is without having to enter it into a search. But I’ll still give it five stars, even without that feature, as it is most great.

I’m so tired of my favorite apps, disappearing, all the while the crap just lingers on. This was also nice when it was integrated into the Apple weather app. That is still one of my favorite weather apps I’m pleased to say.

### 5/5 — Extremely helpful during wildfire season

*2023-08-04*

I rely on this app to help determine the air quality around me - especially during the summer when there are wildfires all around and smoke drifting into my area. The map helps me decide if I can open my windows to sleep at night or if it’s just too yucky outside.

### 3/5 — Subscription system broken

*2023-03-04*

I’ve had a subscription to this app for a couple months now because I wanted to know when the central Texas cedar pollen would be so high I get a cough and darn near a head cold, but for the next 5 days, instead of 3.

Within the last several days my app has covered these premium features with the “Get Premium” ad, which leads nowhere because I have a premium subscription, and there is no option to Restore Purchases in the app.

Hoping this is fixed soon, but it makes me wonder if I need the premium at all, since the forecasts change wildly each day, and I effectively don’t have it.

### 2/5 — Not accurate for Miami

*2022-12-17, version 5.12.0*

This app is not accurate in regards to the air quality in Miami. I’m allergic/ sensitive to dust and mold and often feel congested by time particles in the air. I often look on WebMD and it shows high mold and dust in the air. I know this is accurate because I feel it and have allergies. Yet, I look at Breezometer and it says the air quality is great. Obviously this app does not track mold counts or dust which is usually very high in Miami from the Saharan dust. Very misleading.

### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2022-10-31, version 5.10.0*

I originally downloaded this app because it was affiliated with the iOS Weather app and looks nice. I’ve since used Breezometer for a year now and paid $12 for premium even though I don’t know what the added benefits were. The AQI readings are inconsistent. I’ve found other apps that are free and more accurate and have more features like air quality forecasting and helpful health recommendations. Their core and most accurate feature is an air quality map of the whole world which I imagine is already publicly available data?

### 3/5 — Pollen feature broken

*2022-10-24, version 5.10.0*

I bought this app for the pollen tracker and map, and for a year it was excellent. I was able to track all my allergies and know when I was going to have to start taking medication, and even used it to plan trips. At that time I would have given it 5 stars. But in the past month all of the pollen tracking features have slowly stopped working. I’m not even able to switch between different types of pollen anymore, and the map has disappeared. I really hope they fix this issue, because before then it was a great app, worth every penny.

### 1/5 — Bad information from slick visuals

*2022-10-14, version 5.10.0*

The app is nice to use but it has serious problems in the presented data. First, it’s visuals don’t correspond to air quality data from real measuring points. AirVisual IQAir has real data that you can trust. Second, it doesn’t have air quality at the resolution it presents. Because of this, it glosses over sources of smog and pollution giving the false impression that the air quality is fine beside that coal power plant. Lastly, I’m suspicious that it gets air quality data from satellites, which cannot measure smoke pollution from PM2.5. In the end, this app gives bad information on air quality and suggests that air quality is more healthy that it is, which is highly problematic. Not recommended.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2022-09-29, version 5.9.1*

So I got the app because I noticed that Apples weather app uses it to get air quality data, but for some reason the weather app shows a different result, so figured this app was more accurate. 

I only gave it 4 stars because it would be nice to have a widget. One that shows both the air quality and pollen levels.

### 1/5 — Shows ad after I paid for subscription

*2022-09-25, version 5.9.1*

I paid for an annual subscription but most of the time they show me ads anyway. Also they keep asking me to allow cross platform tracking. They also refuse to accept “only when using “ location services and keep asking me to set it “always on”. More than once it got my location wrong by 30 miles anyway. Worst app I have used in a long time!

### 5/5 — Air is Important

*2022-09-23, version 5.9.1*

This app makes it easy to see where you’re at!
