No family subscription sharing

The app and service is decent if not a little off at times but frankly not being able to share your subscription with your own family is not okay for an app like this. If you want to charge us more, by all means create a shareable subscription option where you charge me more to be able to share they with my family, but I will not pay 4x your subscription fee when I can read out the daily condition at the breakfast table.
Who would have thought they attempting to extract money from people would backfire?!

Prediction of pollen helps

Helps to predict the levels of pollen for the day which helps me manage my hayfeaver with or without medication, lets me know if I should stay indoors for the day or increase filtration on my air filters in the home. It also lets me know if I need to keep an eye on my allergy asthma and possibly start my preventative medication.

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.

Changed

Since the app format changed it’s been ridiculous
I loved this app before they changed it
It would be simple with today’s pollen read now it’s like a maze trying to figure out what the level is on polllen and grass I hate it now

New App Interface 👎🏼👎🏼

The old app interface was much better, go back to that with the new information contained.
The new interface is too busy, full of images that are not relevant and too large.
Definitely not an improvement.

Don’t like new update

I’m not impressed with the new design update. It’s too difficult to navigate and get basic information. The new symbols are confusing and I have to constantly look around for the meaning of the symbols. I’ve dropped the rating from 5 to 1 star, it’s not an app I’ll use anymore if it stays like this. My subscription will be cancelled before due too.

Much better when it was free

Usage, notifications, performance were all better before.

Update ruined a good app

Sadly the new update (late 2025) has destroyed this app.
“Forecast” every day is exactly the same.
Obnoxious ads.
This is a detriment to public health now.

Latest update terrible

The latest update is terrible to navigate it it no longer clear about the forecast of allergen. Now more difficult than ever. Go back to the previous look please

Terrible

Used to be a fantastic app. Now they want $$ and it’s just not worth it. I only used it for the Allergens so I knew when to avoid being near certain plants. This could be detrimental for Asthmatics and anyone with lung issues.

Terrible.

What have you done to this app. Paid my annual subscription but can’t log in. Horrible interface to boot. No support. Heads need to roll.

Fixed what wasn’t broken

This app used to be great. The “redesign” is unfortunately, awful. It hides what you want to know below ads and vague “check conditions” statements.

Fails with older iOS?

Seems to fail with my iOS 15.8 phone when I click for more information on a current status.

“e.toSorted is not a function “

Not precious.

It is not precious.

What happened?

I used to really love this app as it was very helpful but ever since the change of hands I’ve not been able to use my premium account. Tried to use my details on the Airrate website with no success so I cancelled my premium membership that I brought through the App Store then try to upgrade again through the new app and it won’t let me.
