Not enough details. ### 2/5 — App has different AQI than website?!? *2026-07-26, version 1.1.18* Just like I said, on the website it says current AQ as being good, but the app says "moderate" ...which one is correct?? ### 2/5 — Not as accurate… *2026-07-10, version 1.1.10* This app is disappointing. I need to know what air quality is and in my area it often says everything is fine when my local news and my radar app are warning of poor air quality ### 2/5 — RC resident *2025-10-25, version 1.1.10* Index is always massively higher than several other options (i.e. South Coast AQMD). And information is often disrupted with advertising, not so with other options. ### 2/5 — RC resident *2025-08-21* Index is always massively higher than several other options (i.e. South Coast AQMD). ### 3/5 — Inconsistencies *2025-02-24, version 1.1.10* App is not always consistent with what is on the Airnow.com website. I got an alert email saying the air quality in my area is Unhealthy, and the app is reading as Excellent. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not very useful *2026-08-06, version 1.2.1* Filled with adds, confusing layout, lack of useful information. If you are just looking for an app that tells you the basics, maybe this one is ok? ### 1/5 — Never accurate *2026-07-19, version 1.1.10* It’s always wrong by a large gap ### 1/5 — Totally out of sync *2026-07-18, version 1.1.10* During the Canadian wildfires that blanketed SE Michigan in hazy smoke and AQI scores in the 500s on local news, this app was stating “Moderate “ in the 100s and didn’t update to dangerous until the worst was past, three entire days later. So that ranks it as useless. No way to contact anyone in charge, so double useless. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2026-07-18, version 1.1.10* One ad claimed that I was out of storage space -and was prompting me to click on the ax to clean the situation up. The ads pop up first, and have to be bypassed. Worse, a wildly inaccurate value for particulate levels reported. Deleted app and do not recommend. Go to the website instead for airnow.gov. ### 1/5 — Commercials *2026-07-17, version 1.1.10* Commercials ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-07-16, version 1.1.10* This app says the air quality for my location is good at 36. The air quality here is actually 267 Would Give it no stars if I could ### 1/5 — Won’t even stay open *2026-07-03, version 1.1.10* Downloaded to use when we head to Colorado but I can’t even get to the home page because the app crashes before it opens. Even deleted and reinstalled, and turned off the phone to restart. Not sure what is wrong or why it is rated so highly if this is the extent of it. ### 1/5 — Pub bloquante *2026-01-10* Impossible d’accéder à l’application. A l’ouverture vous avez droit à une pub, on pourrait dire normal car application gratuite. Mais ensuite la pub s’arrête mais l’application ne s’ouvre pas . Vous pouvez cliquer sur le nom de l’application qui est sur le bandeau en haut mais on garde toujours la pub ou sa dernière image si vous attendez la fin Bref passez votre chemin ### 1/5 — Not accurate! *2025-07-12* Air IQ gives my location a hazardous rating and this one says air quality is good! How could these two apps have it so different? ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2024-11-26, version 1.1.8* I tried to explain in detail this app is often wrong and has lots of pushy ads. Readings never concur with other reliable sources. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not working *2026-08-06, version 1.2.3* It just quit working ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-16, version 1.1.10* Nice to know what you are breathing to help protect your self. ### 5/5 — Was great *2025-08-16* But now keeps crashing the second try to open it up ### 5/5 — IPF patient *2025-07-12, version 1.1.10* I look forward to maximizing avoidance of IPF exacerbations that reduce my life expectancy. ### 5/5 — OK by me!!! *2025-05-04, version 1.1.10* So far-great!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent, an accurate *2023-06-07, version 1.0.3* I like this app because it’s excellent in accurate and very easy to use and give you all the information you need. I am very happy with it download it today and you won’t be sorry. It is really cool it’s nice to know the air quality information. ### 5/5 — Je respire mieux *2023-06-06* Depuis cette appli ### 4/5 — Douglas Rolighed *2025-09-02, version 1.1.10* I do not like having to see advertisements When we are on your app!!! ### 4/5 — Meh *2025-08-05, version 1.1.10* The opening screen is always an advertisement, with the icon to go to AirNow in a very small font. ### 3/5 — Data not local enough *2026-06-12, version 1.1.10* Shows data for a broader area around where I live, but not where I am specifically, so local air quality monitors are much more accurate --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
