Also the air quality index value for notification changes on its own. I set 150 for example and soon it’s automatically set to 100. These things need to be fixed for the application to be fully useful. ### 3/5 — Loads incredibly slowly *2024-12-29, version 2.1.4* I've recently decided to delete the app as it became unusable. The main screen would never load so I started habitually looking up the data on the map. Lately the map stopped working as well, meaning the only thing I was able to see were the dots on the map. Nice initiative but if I paid anything for a sensor or the app I would be very disappointed. ### 3/5 — Data is great, app could be better *2024-12-29, version 2.1.4* Airly offers accurate, up-to-date air quality data, with helpful widgets that are clear and user-friendly—great for staying aware. However, the app lacks an Apple Watch version, and takes too long to refresh, displaying outdated info on the main screen. Needs improvement! ### 3/5 — Relaunch the app to refresh *2024-11-14, version 2.1.4* Nice app, but to refresh data the app needs to be closed and opened again ### 2/5 — Buggy and unreliable *2024-11-07, version 2.1.4* The widget always shows the CAQI althogh in app is set to other standard. Also it always freezes and I have to open the app sometimes. Overall buggy. ### 4/5 — Widget iOS *2024-01-12, version 2.1.0* How can I add widget on iOS? I can’t find it on the widget list. ### 3/5 — Apple Watch support? *2023-12-06, version 2.1.0* Love the new app. Too bad it lost the feature I used the most - Apple Watch complication. Any plans on bringing it back or should I look for an alternative? ### 3/5 — Not impressed *2023-12-02, version 2.1.0* The UI is getting worse ### 2/5 — Apple Watch app is gone on version 2.0 *2023-11-29, version 2.1.0* After 2.0 release there’s no longer Apple Watch app and no possibility to set a widget on my Watch Face ### 4/5 — Missing Airly widget for the apple watch ultra *2023-07-06, version 2.0* Where's the airly widget for the apple watch? Mine disappeared after the last update. ### 2/5 — Notifications not working *2023-02-17, version 1.16.2* I’m getting no notifications when pollusion level increases / decreases beyond my threshold in CAQI. Neither on my iPhone or Apple Watch. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-10-20, version 1.16.1* The app doesn’t work on my apple watch, it doesn’t indicate anything. My location doesn’t appear on my iPhone either in app. ### 2/5 — You don't get to chose for me *2022-09-23, version 1.16.1* Great app it was. But I preferred chosing my locations on my own and the new app prefers to track me down. So we're not compatible anymore. ### 2/5 — Widget problem *2022-08-27, version 1.16.1* The app suggest nearest point for pollution measurements but widget give no one indication since gives results for my gps position ( where there is no one sensor ) and do not gives the possibility to show results for nearest sensor position ( to see this you are enforced to open the app but in this way widget do not have sense ). ### 2/5 — Regular *2022-04-07* - Le falta el idioma español. - No te indica la hora de actualización de los datos. - No puedes mirar los registros de hace más de 2 días. - No te indica la temperatura de cada hora. - A las gráficas les falta mucha información. En definitiva, una aplicación que le falta mucha más información y datos. ### 4/5 — Default location *2022-02-12, version 1.15.9* It will be nice to have the option to set a default location/city and don’t need to activate the location every time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Updates needed *2025-10-08, version 2.1.4* Unfortunately your widget is not working with the latest iOS. Not displaying any data, nothing. Just some random rectangles. Is there any developer working on updates and keeping this app usable?? ### 1/5 — What happened Apple Watch *2025-06-10, version 2.1.4* The reason I downloaded it was so my complications on my Ultra Watch aren’t showing AQI. The App sight advertises it is compatible … the App store shows only iPhone & iPad. ### 1/5 — Nice and buggy :( *2024-12-29, version 2.1.4* Using the app for 10 minutes means at least 5 unexpected exceptions… very poor quality of software. Been abroad and now the app says there are no sensors around, stopped being usable at all. Got even nicer. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2024-06-01, version 2.1.1* Airly shows green while AerLive and Waqi show yellow and orange. Uninstalled Airly, obviously the information they provide is inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Was a great app, but now just barely handles it *2024-01-09, version 2.1.0* In my opinion, such applications have following main goals: 1) Reliably inform about air quality in the areas. 2) Provide different interfaces for 1) This app was great before the „update”, which removed apple watch widgets (point 2 worsened), and recently widgets and main application home screen just got broken and don’t display any info, so point 1 is also gone. ### 1/5 — Last update killed apple watch app! *2023-07-05, version 2.0* …and with the new alert you remove the support for apple watch. Why? ### 1/5 — App disappeared *2023-07-04, version 2.0* I used this app as widget on my apple watch, suddenly it totally disappeared without any notice and I don’t have option to install it back ### 1/5 — Broken widgets *2023-07-03, version 2.0* After last update there's only small widget on iPhone and app disappeared from Apple Watch ### 1/5 — Still useless. *2021-11-29, version 1.15.6* Can't find location. Broken widget. ### 1/5 — New version is so bad. *2021-11-20, version 1.15.6* Why do I see Palo Alto each time when I open the app? Where are the favourites? Bottom of the list so I need to scroll to get to it. Such a shame - simple ui changed to jumbled mess just for the sake of being “modern”. Awful. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very nice *2024-01-18, version 2.1.0* This is a very nice and useful app. I would like to suggest one improvement: in the chart section we should be able to see also longer periods: for example a daily / weekly / monthly / yearly chart, to see how the air quality oscillated; also, it would be nice to be able to choose the period of the chart. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Very iuseful and user friendly *2023-03-31, version 1.16.2* Great app, I use it every day. The only change that would be helpful would be if the prognosis specified times of the day that it relates to more specifically. ### 5/5 — Notification center *2023-02-13, version 1.16.2* Idk what do I have to do to get alerted. It doesn't work no matter what. I've never ever had any notifications, or sound alerts. I'm not sure why... ### 5/5 — Great! *2022-10-26, version 1.16.1* Great way to track how clean or how dirty our air is :)😊 ### 5/5 — Dark please *2021-12-27, version 1.15.8* Can we get the dark mode back please? ### 5/5 — Best App! *2021-11-25, version 1.15.6* Useful app, I always know if I should wear an anti smog mask or not 😄 Thanks! Many sensors all over the country, I love it ### 5/5 — I love Airly *2021-11-25, version 1.15.6* But the widget is not working well. As well with permanent location which is very weird and also when its on „my location” even when in iPhone location settings i have „always” ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2021-03-23, version 1.15.0* Happy that I’ve discovered this app, I’ve used it since December 2019, I am lucky to have a sensor on the street I Live and helps me to avoid going out for a walk when the air is not good for breathing. Start using it, if you have a sensor close to your house or buy and install one together with your neighbors. ### 5/5 — UI *2021-03-15, version 1.15.0* I love current UI. Just by opening app I have access to all the data, in the beta UI additional clicks are necessary. I hope once new UI leaves beta there will be option to use old UI. In my option it's just more clean. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-02-02, version 1.13.4* Measuring arround makes people more responsable. I applied for 1, but no answer. :( --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
