### 2/5 — Broke

*2026-07-22, version 6.25.0*

How long is this app going to be down. Been down for about a week

### 3/5 — Spinning cursor and nothing more

*2025-04-25, version 6.20.0*

I have an iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18.4.1. All I get is the spinning cursor that doesn’t stop. I have 53 gigs of free space on my phone. What am I supposed to do to get it to work?

### 2/5 — Great at first

*2025-04-16, version 6.20.0*

I really love this at first but now every time I try to go into it it just keeps spinning and won’t open and I have to delete it and re-download it for it to work. Completely annoying. I will stop using it.

### 3/5 — Loading Issues

*2025-04-14, version 6.20.0*

When the app works it is awesome. It seems to have issues every other day where it does not load, so I have to delete the app and reinstall to get it to work. I cannot find any help to figure out why it will not load.

### 2/5 — Never works

*2024-07-19, version 6.16.0*

This app never works, it will say calculating and nothing will load! I switched from webmd allergy and I thought this would be better but it worked once and never worked again.

### 3/5 — Systems down

*2024-04-26, version 6.15.0*

Who is making sure that users can & are successfully logging allergy symptoms? I’ve been getting this “ Systems down
The app is experiencing connection issues and is unavailable at this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to fix the issue.
Please try again later.”, for weeks now. Initially, all appears in working order, yet when I enter symptoms on all 3 pages & submit.. I get the same msg & what appears to be no logged data & certain not, no indication of changed allergy forecasting on the logged info. The app had been a great resource for prepping for the day or understanding why current symptoms are being experienced. 

It’s great to see updates available, but QA needs to actually confirm functionality of the app via the end users POV as well. iPhone user. WiFi. Full battery. Latest iOS as of today. 

Please address this issue so I may adjust my rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ when working as intended. Sigh.

### 2/5 — System down message

*2024-04-14, version 6.14.0*

Unable to log in system down message appears all the time now.

### 1/5 — Data inaccurate

*2024-04-06, version 6.14.0*

I was having a difficult time with my allergies today. I received a pollen alert from two of the weather apps I use - Weather Channel and Weather Bug showed high pollen levels of 10.3 out of 12 (severe). When I went to the Zyrtec app to log my symptoms, it shows pollen levels as 4.3 (mild). I confirmed the app is using my current location. I’ve used the Zyrtec app for years off and on, but I’ll be deleting it today. It doesn’t appear the app is being kept up to date.

### 1/5 — Just keeps clocking

*2024-03-21, version 6.14.0*

Could be decent but it takes forever to load and then to move around. Just clocks, and clocks and clocks.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2024-01-11, version 6.12.0*

It’s a good app & I appreciate it very much. If dust, ragweed & grass could be tracked too it would be perfect.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2023-07-14, version 6.11.0*

Won’t stop calculating. Can’t do anything with the app anymore.

### 1/5 — Endless Calculating

*2023-07-10, version 6.11.0*

App no longer functions. When opened the app says it is calculating but nothing occurs after.

### 2/5 — To cumbersome…too Nosey!

*2023-06-27, version 6.11.0*

Asks for medical and allergy info before you can even utilize the app. Too much bother. Immediately deleted app.

### 2/5 — It was great a couple years ago now it won’t load

*2023-06-21, version 6.11.0*

This was hands down my favorite allergy app. I used it for years without issue. Then 2 years ago it started crashing every time I tried to open it. It was updated and the new issue had became logging me out and forgetting my password each time. Then updated again and now it just spins and says “calculating” but never loads. This has remained over the last 2 updates.  I wish this worked like it use to. I still keep it on my device because I hold out false hopes that one day, this will be just like it was years ago.

### 1/5 — They steal and sell your data

*2026-02-09, version 6.24.0*

They have no need for user data.  The app was created to collect or steal and then sell the user data to others.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-05-14, version 6.21.0*

I liked this app when I first downloaded it but it has since stopped working, perhaps after the latest update. The app works beautifully when you login for the first time, but any time you open the app after that initial login it just shows “Calculating”. I’ve rebooted my phone and uninstalled/reinstalled the app but the problem persists.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2025-05-06, version 6.21.0*

I downloaded the Zyrtec app yesterday (May 5, 2025) because I suffer from severe allergies and needed a reliable way to monitor pollen levels.

Initially, the app performed excellently, providing quick and accurate information.

However, this afternoon, my wife and I went for a walk, so we drove to the park and I opened the app, but it failed to function!

I tried restarting my phone and the app multiple times, but it was still unresponsive, showing a message that it was calculating. Despite my efforts, it continued to display “calculating” without any results.

After our walk, I kept the app open to see if it would eventually provide an update. After 56 minutes, it was still stuck on calculating.

I’m very disappointed that I couldn’t depend on the app for information before my walk.

As a result, I’ve decided to delete the app. If I can’t trust it to work properly the first time I really need it, I doubt its reliability in the future. It raises concerns about the accuracy of the information it provides, especially if it can’t even deliver basic updates or notify users of system issues.

For me, this is an easy decision, and I will delete it after posting this review.

So, proceed with caution if you choose to use it. It may or may not function as intended.

Good luck.

### 1/5 — Totally inaccurate

*2025-04-18, version 6.20.0*

My local news weather report says that tree pollen is high, and will be for the next few weeks, yet this app says it’s low and will be low for the next few days!  
I have been using this app for the last year, and every time my allergy symptoms flare up, this app is always wrong, and different from local weather reports on tv

### 1/5 — Poor logic of the app design

*2025-04-01, version 6.20.0*

The app “measures” the pollen severeness by asking people how they feel about the allergens. If you have two accounts one answered their questions and the other did not, you will get two very different allergy measurements. The one you did not answer will tell you there is little allergen in the air. This is like a weather station going around to ask people about how they feel about temperature, then based on people’s answers they tell you today is going to be hot or cold.

### 1/5 — app not working

*2025-03-28, version 6.20.0*

app not working right now. won’t load at all. please fix i depend on this app for my allergies

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-03-24, version 6.20.0*

03.23 24 (again) Well, I spoke too soon. Happened again. Same exact issue. 

03.23.24 Issue resolved with removing app and downloading it again. Still only one star as this should NOT have happened. 

Worked fine for a few days, but now nothing. Just loading  and loading and loading …

### 1/5 — App not consistently working

*2025-01-07, version 6.20.0*

I’ve had to delete the app many times and download again and again for it to work. I love this app however of late is not working and not reliable therefore I downloaded another app. . Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Same error message for months

*2024-07-02, version 6.16.0*

I used to love this app to track my allergy symptoms but for the last 4 months I receive an error message stating my symptoms can’t be tracked. I saw a review from April where someone else stated this with a follow up that they were working on it? So it’s been 2.5 months and still nothing?

### 1/5 — Log symptoms and then disappear

*2024-04-29, version 6.15.0*

I’ve been struggling the last 2 weeks with ash pollen, this app is telling me there is low to no pollen in my area but a level 2-3 all around me. I’ve logged my symptoms and when I look at trends I have no symptoms logged in. The app alerts me that my symptoms the next day will be severe. I’ve been using this app for years. It helped me wrangle my allergies when I lived in Florida, I now live in Washington, totally different allergies and the app takes forever to load and I often get system down check back later. I’m looking at another app for help

### 5/5 — Log Your Allergies

*2026-06-02, version 6.25.0*

Seasonal allergies leave you feeling pretty out of control a lot of the time. Logging my symptoms and being able to reliably predict my weekend is crucial. I’ve learned a lot from this app.

### 5/5 — Ridiculous to ask for password every other time.

*2026-05-04, version 6.25.0*

Ridiculous to ask for password so very often.

### 5/5 — My Regular Go-To Allergy App

*2024-10-03, version 6.18.0*

My family and I have been using this app for more than three years, and it has been an essential go-to tool for all of us. Over the years, updates have made the app more user-friendly, and the addition of new allergens has helped us plan our days/weeks.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-02-24, version 6.13.0*

The only thing I would change is the time section for taking meds. I take allergy meds morning and night and sometimes during the day. 
Other than that I really like this allergy app. Thank you.

### 5/5 — I tried them all

*2023-12-16*

I downloaded all of the pollen trackers available & the Zyrtec app is the best.  I have severe, year round allergies. It’s a help to me to know the pollen levels to plan when to stay in. When I’m having severe symptoms I check to see which pollen is the culprit. This helps me to ID how each one affects me. As a side note, I’m a long time user of Zyrtec. It doesn’t stop the suffering, but it allows me to get through the day without feeling like a zombie

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2023-08-02, version 6.11.0*

This is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Johnson & Johnson for anticipating our needs!

### 5/5 — New features

*2023-05-07, version 6.10.0*

Add CarPlay support of app

### 5/5 — good app

*2023-04-15, version 6.10.0*

helps me to predict/prepare for when my allergies are going to be worse

### 5/5 — Bless you!

*2023-04-05, version 6.10.0*

Ingenious app! Helps you track your symptoms so that you can get an idea what you’re allergic to and when to take action! I find this very helpful living in central California where pollen abounds! Thank you Zyrtec!

### 5/5 — App issue

*2023-03-28, version 6.10.0*

When you open the app it’s sticks to the calculating page and doesn’t move forward
