Excellent partner to my PurpleAir monitor and more

This app is excellent. It does exactly what we need by giving us colour-coded information about Air Quality. It also has information on temperature and humidity and other factors.
It comes with widgets and interface to provide alerts when the air quality shifts past defined conditions.
As others have said, it is a primarily single focussed app and it does it extremely well
Highly recommended to anyone with Air Quality concerns whether it’s related to wildfires or other considerations

Incredibly valuable

Being able to see real-time purple air readings without dealing with their clunky website is amazing. The complications on iPhone and Apple Watch are particular useful. Thank you, Paku!

Great app minus paywall

This app is extremely helpful but I feel this app should include more features like notifications and being able to use as a widget. Not everyone with breathing problems can afford to sub to an app.

Useful App

Worth it to subscribe. Easy to check quickly. Great support.

Nice App

Love Paku

Helps understanding risk

Summer - fall we usually have nearby wild fires. Purple Air is a go to for accessing smoke risk.

Inaccurate AQI readings

Despite smoke in the air from the Woodside Fire blanketing Sonoma County, this app showed an AQI of just 10. I (stupidly) trusted it and left my windows open. I forced quit the app and made sure I was on current iOS app version. I later learned our local AQI had reached “unhealthy” levels of 197 and climbing when verifying against other sources.

Useful

I rely on this pp for certain times of year.

Accurate and efficient

Paku makes it quick & easy to access accurate info. Efficiency at its best!

Works great.

Fast easy neighborhood check of air quality and temperature.

Good functionality and speed

Really relevant for Southern Californians and athletes.

Doesn’t work

Thick awful smoke from a fire the smells horrible has covered my neighborhood yet this app still shows good air quality what a joke!

Needs more sources

While it’s great that they have a vast network in USA and parts of Europe their senses lack coverage in the Middle East, Africa and much of Asia. If they allowed for EPA and other reliable data sources, this app would be far more useful in those areas.

Great design

Clean, idiomatic iOS design. Performant, looks great, fair price. No complaints whatsoever.

Peku in the occupation

Just found out that Paku sensors are in the settlements and all over the occupied territories. It’s shame companies have no morals anymore. When most of the world has refused this Israels blatant land grab that support aggressive settlers Paku finds it acceptable to sell and register their units in the site. Shame on them. I’ve blocked Peku and will throw the Paku sensor.

Stop asking me for review

They keep asking for a review so here is 1 star.

What in the world has happened to Paku???

The menu bar icons frequently fail to load and there is NO way I can find to contact support.

Crashes

Used to work, but now it crashes upon opening (ipad). Tried the uninstall/reinstall - no luck.

Allergy Help

I have allergies and this site is invaluable got finding out when it is safe for me to go outside and exercise.

Crashes on iOS 26

After update to iOS 26 app crashes or shows wrong map location
