Free version is terrible now
The free version of this app used to be great but it is now terrible. Don’t bother downloading unless you’re happy to fork out for the subscription. The screen is crowded with UPGRADE TO PREMIUM everywhere getting in the way so you can’t see anything. Can’t click on any local stations to see details (which you ARE allowed to do in free version!!) because a whole screen pop-up saying ENHANCED MAP ZOOM BUY BUY BUY takes over even though I’m not trying to zoom.
If I can’t access something in free version, then just make it so my clicks do nothing. Stealing the whole screen to shove BUYBUYBUYSPENDSPENDSPEND in my face is infuriating. If the free version is supposed to make me want to purchase a subscription, it’s not working. I have never wanted to disengage with an app faster. Truly a shame because I used to use this frequently to submit symptoms data. You’d think exchanging data would be worth a damn but apparently not.

Pay app
Used to be free but just like anything else you have to pay a subscription. No thanks.
Terrible
Ruined a good app, totally useless to me now. I need to know when certain plants are in season, now you want $$ and it’s not worth it. But of course you will have some excuse as to why you charging. This new technology wasn’t worth the upgrade!
👎 Bad Update. Inaccurate. And costs.
The newest “pretty” update that the developers say they had no choice but to build is so dreadfully inaccurate, and the details of pollen levels is hidden behind a paywall. The developers admit they receive government grant money for this project, then they charge the user. Doesn’t see right.
Better App, but minimal data without Subscription
The App is better, but the information available without a subscription has been heavily reduced and apparently the websites showing today’s pollen count are no longer updated.
I would consider a subscription, but the price is far too high.

Premium?
A paid subscription service for a product funded by research grants - absolutely DISGUSTING!!
Used to be great until today’s fancy update
This was an excellent app that clearly and concisely showed what I needed.
Unfortunately this new ‘fancy’ update is just a confusing jumble with articles and other data that I don’t need.
I made a big mistake in updating and wish I had not bothered.
Now I will have to delete it and do without the useful information.

Huge help in allergy season
This app helps me decide whether to exercise outside vs inside during allergy season and reassures me that my respiratory symptoms have external sources and aren’t in my head or exaggerated.
Good
Good app - when it’s working
This app is hard to navigate
I find this app very hard to navigate.
I don’t get the notifications for the pollen days.
Pollens only get updated every 24 hours.

Daily updates please
Great app, even better if there would be updates every day (around the same time) and an indication of when the samples are taken. Plenty of detail hidden in the app, impressive, the labels of what information is available could be clearer. Agree with other people that it would be great to be able to change the order of chosen locations. Nothing else compares with the detail and quality of the information.

Needs updating
Usually very helpful but now buggy and not loading or displaying results.
Vital for pollen season
I appreciate this app so much. I like being able to set locations, and to know whether to take precautions when I venture outside. The simple interface is great to be able to see the current pollen situation quickly at a glance especially when it’s often been in the extreme category lately. Thank you for your efforts!

Great App
As an asthmatic triggered by wood smoke this app is a literal lifesaver, in making me aware of the risks of going outside during winter. And in summer during fire season.
Not Updated Often Enough
The data it shows is great, I’m trying to track pollen levels especially & it’s fabulous having them all listed separately.
But, it only updates once a day, sometimes not at all.
It’s 7pm here, and it was last updated “a day ago”, which I know was sometime mid-morning yesterday. I had no symptoms yesterday morning, but by evening my asthma was severe. This evening I have symptoms but again, but hasn’t been updated for close to 36 hours.
It needs to be at least twice a day, preferably 3 or 4 times daily to be of use.
Also, there’s 1 monitoring station in southern Tasmania, 1 in the north, & 1 in the ACT - what’s the point of setting your location any more specifically than your city when all the data comes from 1 place?
So much potential but needs better monitoring to be really useful.

Excellent app
This is a really excellent app fir the locations it devices. Love both the pollen count and airquality features and the ability to set home, work and other locations. Been using it for over a year and am impressed with its reliability. Interface is good too.
Thank you
It is a great app as it helps me know what is happening re pollen in my suburb in Canberra. When I start sneezing I just feel helpless but with this app, i wonder now if there are more than one kind of trigger, including stress.
A second review: I am living in Sydney at the moment and find your app invaluable, even tho it doesn’t tell me about pollen like it does in Canberra. I now take my medication when I get the symptoms and they align with the levels you post. And that’s a great comfort in this dreadful and scary time of galloping Delta strain here.
So thank you again.

Just one small thing
Great app, but I’d give it 5 stars if I could reorder the locations.
Newest version far better presented
Most accurate and useful - particularly in the bushfire and pollen seasons. With this version it is still hard to work out which pollen type is currently high. I need to access this data easily, daily, to prevent asthma events.
This is a great app!
This app makes it so easy to know what air pollution is like where I live!
