"Air good (32) in Sonoma" Um, not even close. Heavy smoke smell, other apps say 90-100+. Used to work well.

Crashes every time I hit details.

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.

Dev team, open app, select a location using city name and click details. CRASH!!!!!!

It updated this morning and I never choose to download it. It’s crap. Waste of programmers time or some college kid built this with no any prior knowledge of programming.

This app is helpful for checking air quality. The only problem is, at least for Minnesota, is that the narrated description of the forecast included from MPCA doesn’t include the date it was written. It gets confusing to figure out what day is “today” and “tomorrow” in the forecast. (It’s not updated every day, so “today” sometimes is 2 or 3 days ago.) other than that, it’s a helpful app.

There are no air monitoring stations in my area, so it doesn’t give a reading. I’m in an area most affected by Canadian wildfire, being in the border, yet they don’t care enough to have a monitor here? You can’t spend a little less on proxy wars and military contractors and get a monitor for my area? I feel frustrated and disempowered by the terrible air quality and lack of anyone giving a crap.

I’ve referred to this app a lot with the wildfire smoke blowing over my region this summer, and for quite a while, I used the map in it as well. Now, the map is worthless. It just loads, and the regional air quality (with the blobs of color) hasn’t changed in months. The air rating on the “home page“ of the app seems accurate, but I wonder when other parts seem frozen.

Misleading because when user first opens app, (s)he is asked for detail that the app doesn’t use (but that user would have reason to think it does). App asks for zip code, then down to where within a single zip code user is, but the aq figure the app reports is the same for the entire metropolitan area, which makes the number useless. If user doesn’t realize this, user could be making bad personal decisions based on seriously bad data. There is no excuse for this. There are enough aq monitors around to provide granularity. Is EPA serious about aq or just kidding? EPA jeopardizes its aq credibility in promoting an app like this.

The government should put more money into this program to improve it! If more sensors were deployed, if the sensors could be read every 30 minutes (versus hourly) , and if the app could add the trends that are listed in the website version, that would be a significant improvement!
