What's New in Melbourne Pollen Count

3.0.2

August 24, 2026

This update makes symptom logging faster, map insights clearer, and sharing more convenient. A clearer map • Report markers now cluster automatically, reducing overlap at lower zoom levels. • The timeline starts collapsed and expands when playback begins. • Tap a group of symptom reports to view the severity distribution and switch between Time, Age and Gender breakdowns. Faster daily check-ins • Dashboard and Me now include a simple smiley check-in for recording how you feel. A brief acknowledgment is shown the first time you use it. • With location enabled, your check-in is saved immediately, with options to undo or continue adding details. Without location, your selection is not saved until you continue and complete the log. • Your Dashboard selection carries over to Me, resumes after the smiley question, and tracks daily completion separately for each profile. • A new floating shortcut and one-question-at-a-time flow make full reports easier to complete. Easier sharing • Share tiles directly from More. • After taking a screenshot on Dashboard or a Measure detail screen, you can choose to create a share card. A refreshed Me and Communities • Me is now focused on your personal symptoms. Review your history and compare it with averages for your selected location, with a layer selector for different comparisons. • Communities brings community news and updates together in one place. More improvements • Added support for iOS Home Screen widgets. • Improved loading states, layout and overall stability across Dashboard and Measure details.

Extremely helpful resource

I do wish this had funding for the entire app to be free of charge considering it’s a preventative measure for people who can suffer serious health issues due to allergens and pollution.

Please also include a feature/monitoring around the data centres popping up in Melbourne especially West Footscray for the diesel generators. Already we have days of smelling jet fuel and the DC hasn’t even officially come online

Great app for allergy sufferers

I’ve been using this app since a doctor recommended it. Tried the paid version for more features and a yearly subscription for a reasonable fee.
Living in the city, I feel the alerts are great.
Would be nice if they stayed longer on the screen to be read. 4.5 stars

Cant migrate from airrater.

My old password and id wont login to original record of last few years. How do i reset that password so i can access this data

Ad-ridden bloatware

No good. You have prioritised ads over information. Why can’t you (melb uni) rise above this adware nonsense and make app free?

This app has been totally ruined by pretty pictures obscuring the actual info.

This app used to be very simple. It would just bring up warnings and easily intelligible graphics and results. Now a “designer” has tackled it, and the first thing they came up with is a pretty picture of a house as starting point. This conveys zero information and needs an explanation button that says, “What does this mean?” How ridiculous is it to start with a graphic that they clearly know doesn't mean anything to anyone, and then add a button to explain it? To get the actual useful information, you have to scroll down through different screens. Why this information isn’t top dead centre. I don’t know, unless it’s just to make sure you look at the advertising. Overall, the baseline info is useful, but the GUI is an absolute disaster.
