Air Matters

Trying to add a Phillips air purifier to the air matters app on a new router (upgraded my internet), it always fails on connecting to the air purifier once it’s on the network saying Discovery Time Out. So now I bought an Air Purifier that I can’t even connect to on the app. It worked about a year ago but clearly the updates broke something. Would no longer recommend.

It used to show pollen allergy by grasses, ragweed etc. I have grasses allergy specifically. Now it just says pollen index 1 to 10. Totally useless as I don’t know if it’s grass or not. Used for years and now deleting.

Lack of areas in Scotland it needs updating as it covers a really poor level of areas here

Please fix this awful app

For last 2 years been a godsend in helping to manage hay fever. Previous iOS updates have had no impact. Within 2 days of latest update stoped showing allergy info on dashboard- if went to local stations could still get info for about a day but now nothing☹️

If you are lucky enough to get the app to recognise and connect to a Philips air purifier, then congratulations. However, don’t expect it to stay connected - it frequently drops the connection - and even if it does, my fillers are now apparently immortal. The life remaining percentages no longer update.

Thanks for the new complications on the watch - but the descriptions don’t fit. I’ve asked to see Pollen on the Infographic Modular face, and I get a number with PO… underneath.

V 6.12.2 now crashes on every startup with iOS 12.5.3

Will not connect to the app

I use this app several times every day to check the air quality in my home and my city. The integration with household monitors like the Laser Egg is great and the developers take care to update it regularly to fix bugs. Edit: I lowered my rating on 7 Jun from 5 to 2, because I find the way the app now indicates air quality is misleading. I noticed it is now using gradients of color to denote air quality i.e. AQI of 0-100 is green that gets yellower as the number gets higher, AQI of 100-200 is yellow, becoming increasingly orange. The app used to be more straightforward: 0-50 was a solid green (clean), 50-100 was yellow (good), 100-150 was orange (slightly polluted), and >150 was red (polluted). Under the new color scheme now, an objectively bad AQI of 160 is shown as orange, which might make people believe the air quality is not too bad. Edit 2: I reverted my rating to 5 after the developer reversed the change mentioned above.
