Not working

Tried everything to get it to connect will not show up in privacy settings no way to contact support contact support

just what purple air needs

super simple, super easy. you should share this on their forums, because many more people ask about this type of thing rather than the web map. will this ever be available for android?

Still has problems connecting

Just not a reliable, realtime measurement. Works 10% of the time. I just use the Purple Air Map app

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. The air temp always reads high. Somewhere on the Purple Air website there an explanation of why.

It’s working better now

App wasn’t connecting reliably but it seems to be working ok now. I know it’s definitely connected to the internet because the AQI is listed in the Purple Air Map. Dewpoint is calculated based on RH and air temp. The air temp reads high by 8-12 degrees. The rest is great!

Not Reliable Connection

App doesn’t connect reliably. I know it’s connected to the internet because the AQI is listed in the Purple Air Map. Constantly have to search for the IP address. Wife has same issue on her phone too. I’m disappointed.
