### 1/5 — This app has turned to junk

*2021-03-17, version 2.0*

Nothing on this app works anymore. The main readings show no values, the burn ban section has huge fonts and never changes, and the camera page has been down for months.
I used to love, and rely on this app-What happened??

### 5/5 — Best App for local air quality

*2020-09-09, version 2.0*

Brian, thank you for putting this info in an easy to use app!

### 4/5 — Doesn't always work for air quality

*2017-09-08, version 1.0*

Four stars because you can get the information much quicker than on the official site but not 5 stars because it doesn't always work. It seems like when the official site is down so is Methow Air.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-09-07, version 1.0*

Just downloaded and the air quality section doesn't work. It's the whole reason to download it. A review from December said the same thing.
