Do not pull from the store!

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.

Extremely helpful during wildfire season

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.

Subscription system broken

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.

Not accurate for Miami

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.

Inaccurate

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?

Pollen feature broken

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.

Bad information from slick visuals

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.

Nice app

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.

Shows ad after I paid for subscription

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!

Air is Important

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

Bring back the elephant!

I miss the elephant’s nose, when you’re dealing with poor air quality like we are here in Missoula, Montana, the elephant made me a little happier…

used to be good, now it doesn't work

below i will paste what i was going to email to the dev. BUT their web form REQUIRES to sign up for their newsletter in order to contact them. what? no thanks.

my note to the dev:
i've been using the ios app for a year or so, but a recent update has bricked it. when i open the app, i get the "Welcome to Breezemaster" screen. it wants me to check the TOS and PP checkbox. i can do so, and the image darkens, but that's it. i cannot navigate or do anything else.

scrolling, swiping, and "clicking" do nothing. i can touch the TOS and PP links and they do lead me to those respective pages, but nothing else. it's been like this for the last 2 updates for me.

Broke for small screens

Can’t get past Terms of Service Agreement splash page. Seems to be caused by app update. It worked on this device a few months ago. Splash page extends past bottom of screen. If there is a button that needs to be cocked to proceed it is not visible on screen. Report a Problem in Apple App Store will not allow me to report quality issue for this app (maybe because it was free and there is no receipt?). Developer site does not have obvious place to submit support issues- only generic Contact Us asking for PII. So here’s a bad review as option of last resort

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We fixed the issue in version 5.9.1. Please make sure that you have the most updated app version. Sorry for the inconvenience.

great app and update

I love it. And even without Premium, thr fact that it gives the primary pollutants, hourly forecast, and fires and their names and size and so many others!! Love it.

Limited Data

No pollen information available outside the contiguous 48 states, so only partly useful. Also picked an odd default location downtown and reported an unhealthy reading as being the ‘same as usual.’ The wider area is being affected by wildfires right now so it’s definitely bad. But outside of fire season most of the city has very healthy air quality. So it’s not the ‘same as usual’ for most people in the area.

Pollen readings totally wrong

The air quality forecast for my area is accurate but the pollen forecast is extremely inaccurate. The past 2 days, you could see pollen clouds in the air and you could even taste the pollen. The app shows tree pollen: 2 out of 5, grass pollen: 1 out of 5. Sensio Air shows 10 out of 10 and AirCare says 400 on the readings, which is about 7.5 out of 10.

Love it, but looking forward to more features

This app has been really helpful in monitoring my local pollen forecast. I wish it had better widgets focused on displaying Pollen information so I can see that information at a glance instead of going into the app or receiving notifications.

It’s ok

It’s an ok app. Looks scientific but it seems to lag in changes in air quality. And recently, ARGH. Full screen ads! I have HUGE problem with apps that bully users into paying by inundating users with annoying ads. What’s next—ads with sounds?! I’m Uninstalling before that happens.

Widget is broken

Great app but widget needs work. First of all, it doesn’t work if you set location settings to “while using the app” which you should absolutely do for privacy. Secondly, it uses BreezoMeter air quality index ignoring in-app settings. Thirdly, it’s an old iOS style widget that need to be modernized for new versions.
For now I’m using AirVisual widget instead.

Response from developer

Hi iManyak, thanks for the feedback! We're working on a better version of the widget. Stay tuned

Widgets Needed

The addition of widgets would dramatically improve my usefulness of the app. I like to have a page of widgets that show my day, including air quality.
