The government isn’t telling us how bad the air really is. It claims anything up to 50 is “good” green The truth is anything above 20 is not good. I get ill from particles and smoke in the air. Anything past about 25-30, I get symptoms. The USA is blanketed with smoke all year round, but we have zero national emergency statuses for how toxic the air is. Yea maybe if it happens one day out of the year, then ok, but to have smoke everyday needs an emergent response. But our government tells us through these apps to go outside and enjoy the air when on the map there clearly is smoke, but the pm says 44 which nobody should be breathing ever. Don’t trust this app, or the governments reportings. Forest fires is a scam to increase carbon emissions and increase carbon in order to inflate the carbon tax. And is used to push green energy ideology. There are natural fires sure. But there are also man started fires, agricultural burning, “look it up” And chemicals used in forestry that when burned it highly toxic “Look up agent orange chemicals forestry, agricultural fertilizers.” Once you realize they are poisoning the air to make us get illnesses, maybe then will people start cracking down on these “fires”. -- Shogunroman86, 2024-09-28 ### **--- "Where’s the Smoke?" With the new version 4 update, the smoke map is broken. It lo longer shows the smoke layers. -- jww55434, 2024-09-09 ### *---- "No data for any of my locations for several days" Have you stopped broadcasting? Today is Aug 6, 2024. No aqi data available on your app since Aug 1 2024 or earlier for locations in NY, OK, and PA. -- “nonickname", 2024-08-06 ### **--- "Barely Adequate" This app is convenient because it’s there and easy to open. However, there are several faults that make it not the best way to obtain an AQI measurement. First of all, it’s data is not updated often enough. It lags way behind current readings - at least by several hours if not more. Secondly, AirNow doesn’t have a broad enough network of sensors. AQI often depends on land contours and detailed location within a community. This app just doesn’t have enough resolution to provide helpful health information for people in many locations. AND I just found that the latest version of the app crashes when attempting to query ‘Details’ about the reading at my home location. Interestingly, it doesn’t crash when clicking details at other locations. -- GoogleTool, 2024-07-25 ### ****- "Easy to use" Easy to use but I wish there would be an option to get notification alerts for when the AQ is bad -- TheHatKing, 2024-07-24 ### ****- "Works for me" Update rate isn’t quite as fast as I would like, but once an hour is usually enough. My only complaint point is they include stations that provide incomplete measurements. We have one station that reports “green” because they’re only measuring ozone. -- Ben Voris, 2024-07-23 ### ***-- "Add widgets" How about adding an iOS Notification Center widget to display the AQI? -- ecec, 2024-07-08 ### **--- "Inaccurate" "Air good (32) in Sonoma" Um, not even close. Heavy smoke smell, other apps say 90-100+. Used to work well. -- Beldar88, 2024-06-17 ### *---- "Crashes" Crashes every time I hit details. -- Melskidi, 2024-05-12 ### *---- "Reporting Area Is Over An Hour Away" The reporting area for my area is about an hour and fifteen minutes away in a big city (Columbus Ohio.) I am south of there in a sparsely populated rural area with many Amish and Mennonites who don't drive in addition to lots of forest land. The air quality is based in a densely populated area with concrete and asphalt. This app does not represent my zip code at all. -- jbaisden, 2024-04-24 [View all EPA AIRNow reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## EPA AIRNow Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | United States | Weather | #10 | ## EPA AIRNow Discovered Keywords - air quality app - air pollution app - epa - air quality - air quality index - air quality app free - air pollution - iqair - aqi - purple air ## Apps Similar to EPA AIRNow - [IQAir AirVisual | Air Quality](https://apptail.io/app/iqair-airvisual-air-quality-wPh/united-states) - [Air Quality & Pollen - AirCare](https://apptail.io/app/air-quality-pollen-aircare-fYk/united-states) - [My AQI Air Quality & Pollution](https://apptail.io/app/my-aqi-air-quality-pollution-KEs/united-states) - [Emergency: Severe Weather App](https://apptail.io/app/emergency-severe-weather-app-gGU/united-states) - [Paku - Air Quality & AQI Map](https://apptail.io/app/paku-air-quality-aqi-map-eQW/united-states) - [Air Quality Reader](https://apptail.io/app/air-quality-reader-fQW/united-states) - [Firesource - Live Wildfires](https://apptail.io/app/firesource-live-wildfires-gQW/united-states) - [MyShake Earthquake Alerts](https://apptail.io/app/myshake-earthquake-alerts-yDLc/united-states) - [OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool](https://apptail.io/app/osha-niosh-heat-safety-tool-ybSd/united-states) - [NOAA Live Weather Radar](https://apptail.io/app/noaa-live-weather-radar-DuNm/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
