App is broken for a week
Does not render any data for the last week or so, just keeps refreshing the UI.
Less than Worthless
I have low requirements - I just want to see the pollen counts for today and a few days before. Despite the pictures in the app description, none of the information is present. All I can access is a useless “allergy journal” that allows me to enter if I had runny eyes today.
For health reasons, I need pollen counts to gauge the safety of outdoor activities. This information used to be available on websites. Now, they want to just send people to a worthless app that risks the health of people when we cannot access data that is supposed to be publicly accessible.

Expensive
Assuming that the data is reliable, this is really the only app I found that gives you measured data rather than estimates and algorithm forecast.
The UX is a little wonky, but I can overlook that as annoying as it is.
My main problem is $50 a year for the pro level, which is what it takes for the widget to work. It’s hard to justify paying that much unless my health absolutely depended on getting an accurate reading, which it doesn’t.
Widget accuracy is a convenience to me, not a necessity, and I’m probably not alone in that regard.

Hi
This is a wonderful app. It helps out really well. You should download it and use it. It really does its job. Keep up the good work.
Great when it works
Very sketchy performance. I have paid for the expanded features but I frequently have to go back into the app and “restore” my status as a paid account. The widget, which I rely on, hardly ever works anymore.
Mold Counts
I really wish that this app had mold counts. I am most allergic to mold and this app is of limited use to me without tha mold counts.
Paywalled
Can’t access anything beyond what other weather apps provide unless you pay. But my biggest gripe is that you can’t even answer the question whether you have a sensor close by for free. Why would I pay for something before knowing if there is a Pollen Wise sensor in my area first? If I pay for the app and find my closest sensor is 50+ miles away, you will have just stole my money, so I won’t be doing that.

👎🏼
Was my favorite seasonal app but they took the hourly away for free users and ultimately made the app useless.
Got worse over the years
Was great a few years ago. The imaging of particles at each sensor was pretty cool, not sure where that went with the recent update. Also the new update seems inaccurate. Levels often read as low when other apps show moderate dust or mold. Deleted
No longer user friendly.
Once a favorite but now I hate it. Not user friendly and confusing. Im deleting
Unusable now
All the features that made this app great are now behind a paywall. Not worth using anymore.
Broken
$70 subscription for an app that doesn’t work. Broken features behind pay wall. Refund requested.
Seachange
So loved + relied heavily upon V4 - strong data + simple visuals. Now data is restricted + the display tiny bar graphs) is unreadable for me. Must take my leave...
Great improvement to show High pollen time for each day
Really help me plan better. Version 5.5 brought back specific information and made it better than Version 4 by showing the High grass pollen time.
New format
DON’T LIKE THE NEW FORMAT!
Pay Wall
It was a pretty great app until they put everything behind a paywall. $4.99 is too much for an app like this. It’s just not worth it.
Used to be pretty good, but…
Ruined with the new version. They got greedy, put everything useful behind a paid tier, and made it impossible to know up front what you have to pay for access. PMs and marketers really did a number on this one. I would have gladly chipped in before all the bad vibes.
SUCH a disappointment!!
What’s the sense of creating an app for allergy levels when day-after-day you report zero levels for all allergens?!?! I was so hopeful when I discovered this but have been nothing but disappointed! The amazing LACK of information is astounding!
Still the best pollen data available
Version 5 has had some major hiccups, with some users unable to view data.
The current update seems to fix the issue for almost all users, and the developer is responsive and can assist with some workarounds if you still encounter the issue.
Once resolved, everything is business as usual: PollenWise is still the best pollen information available, with counts from automated sensing stations updated multiple times a day.
If you have allergies and know what you’re sensitive to, the app presents clear and useful data to plan your activities to minimize your exposure to allergens.
