Wind conditions should be included so one can determine if things will get worse or better. Sometimes there aren’t any results for days. Needs some tweaking but the concept is important **Developer response:** “Wind conditions” is a great suggestion. I’ll see what info is available to add. As far as the delay from event onset to app reporting, there are multiple factors to keep in mind: location of reporting station vs event, time-to-report on behalf of the reporting agency(ies), uptime of the reporting portals (this has been an issue with some of the Carson/Douglas info unfortunately). Result? A small to large delay depending on how all the moving pieces align. This is not optimal but few (if any) primary data sources are directly accessible. ### 4/5 — Info available when you need it. *2014-09-18* Some of the add backgrounds are too busy, it makes it not as easily read. But the information is great to have at your fingertips particularly during fire season (and inversion time too I'm sure). ### 4/5 — Good app😀 *2014-09-18* This app is good ### 4/5 — Very Nice !! *2013-11-09, version 1.1.2* Works as described and nice visual display !! ### 4/5 — Good info *2013-09-03* Up to date several times a day wish they would use dark lettering ### 5/5 — This is great! *2013-09-01, version 1.1.2* Small, simple and tells me what I want to know. Excellent hyper local info; good job. ### 4/5 — Good *2013-08-31* A useful app with pleasant updates. I wish it would change to landscape view when I turn my iPad. ### 5/5 — A Must Have App *2013-08-31* This App is a must have App right now. I find myself consulting it several times a day due to all the smoke from the Yosemite fire. ### 5/5 — Air quality *2013-08-30, version 1.1.2* Is so nice to know right now with all of the fires. ### 4/5 — Too much smoked *2013-08-25* App does what is expected and sends updates on air quality as it changes. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2013-08-04* I am very pleased to see an app designed just for Washoe air quality. Reno especially can get stagnant from inversions, so it's nice to have that information at hand! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Apple weather app even better! *2021-09-02* Horrible inaccurate app! Even the standard iphone weather app gets more frequent and accurate air quality results. Half the time this apps air quality readings aren’t even available. ### 1/5 — Air Quality *2018-07-18* Please fix the the air quality data link. The app only displays temperature. This app is worthless until this is fixed. **Developer response:** Sorry I missed this at the time you posted it -- there was indeed an issue with the app not waiting long enough when it looked up data. Make sure you update to v1.3 please! ### 1/5 — Hate the fact *2013-11-20* That every time I open the application you beg for a review and make it difficult to dismiss the begging box. Doesn't matter how great the application might be begging for stars is messed up. If after reviewing your application your star begging continues I will uninstall the application and find what I need on my browser instead. ### 1/5 — Waste *2013-08-29, version 1.1.2* Useless app.dot waste your time ### 2/5 — Do not need 3am updates *2016-02-15* Do not need 3am updates ### 2/5 — Too many notices *2013-09-26, version 1.1.2* The app needs to provide a feature allowing to control how often and when a notification comes in. I personally do not need a half dozen updates in the morning if there is no substantial change in air quality. ### 2/5 — Does what it does... *2013-08-02, version 1.1.1* Not much to this app. Not worth the download. Almost feels likes high school app making class made this. ### 3/5 — Difference *2021-08-22* Why are the numbers different on every AQI Site I look at. And they really lag at least a half an hour from actual conditions. ### 3/5 — Good app. *2013-09-24, version 1.1.2* Notifies to often and the option to change/add locations would be nice. ### 3/5 — A graph would help *2013-09-10, version 1.1.2* Simple enough. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-08-21* I'm outside every day and with one click I can see the temperature plus the air quality. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Works *2015-01-22* Ui is different but it works! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-10-10, version 1.2.201* Easy to use and account hourly updates by zip code! 👌 ### 5/5 — Just what we need *2014-09-17, version 1.2.201* App informs often ahead of the Airnow.gov site. Nice presentation. ### 5/5 — Simple *2013-11-04* Perfect. Simple. Easier than calling the phone number. ### 5/5 — Wow just what I needed *2013-10-24* Moved from Hawaii because of the VOG so here in Washoe if is great to know I can actually go outside because I know the weather quality ..... Even the ozone!!!!! Thank u 👍💐🍻 ### 5/5 — Washoe Air *2013-10-05, version 1.1.2* Love this app, it's nice to get info that is local ! ### 5/5 — Nice simple interface. *2013-09-19* AQI #'s have been low since smoke from RIM fire. Today the AQI returned to moderate and I received a notification. I closed the windows on the house. Very cool. ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-09-07, version 1.1.2* This app was very helpful during the Rim Fire, I also like the graphics. ### 5/5 — Smoke, smoke go away *2013-09-04* A great app, able to check current AQI, quick and easy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
