Pollen Wise

Pollen wise is the best I’ve found. The other apps are terrible, or at least their data sources are. Before this app I kept a bookmark to the aaaai on my phone and manually checking sites to find one near me with recent data! Because the other apps and websites are probably using statistical modeling or other inaccurate systems to report. Pollensense, having their own realtime sensor network and an easy to consume app makes this a lot easier. But even here there are some difficulties. It’s not really clear where the stations are. They could be 50 miles away “in your metro area” but that might not be helpful if you are upwind of the station. They also seemed to have removed information about actual detected allergens from the app - unless it’s a bug - and that makes it pretty useless. Finally, I’d pay for access to the realtime dataset, but paying a subscription fee for an app used so infrequently is just blah. A website, daily - detailed- email, or api access to integrate into my own dashboards is worth the price.

If they can't show prices up front then they must be trying to hide something, NO THANKS

Very awesome app. Gives hourly detailed updates for pollen levels along with graphs. Also has articles on how to manage allergies and when best to go outside etc. Really helpful app.

Since “upgrading “ I now have to login every time I want an accurate measurement for the current time.

This is by far the best app for tracking allergies. It includes dust and mold, as well as the seasonal vegetation based pollens. I have a wish list item: I’d like to see a graph section added that shows all categories overlapped together. Like blue line for weeds, red for trees, etc. Reason being that I would like to see if there is a tipping point for symptoms to kick in or get worse. I know I am sensitive to mold at some medium to high, and higher, levels. But there are also times when I have symptoms but can’t tell what the cause is, and I wonder if it’s because of a combination. I’ve swiped back and forth between categories to try to see a relationship, but a combined graph would, or might, make it much easier and plainer. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your excellent information.

So awesome to have nearly real time, local data available for a seasonal allergy sufferer like me. I correlate my symptoms with the data from the app, and can manage my allergies way better now!

When we are getting record allergies, you tell me there are 0 allergens, this is not even close. Glad I did not upgrade!

The allergy levels are dependent on an allergist or hospital buying and installing one of their sensors. The nearest sensor to me is “very far” in Austin while I live near Houston. The weather and allergens is very different in these cities. If they had a sensor close to me, it would be my main tracker.

I could not find a map that showed location of sensors, so I tried probably 20 of the major cities on the west coast, and all forecasts were based on a sensor that was “very far” away. Based on this search, I conclude that the forecast for Sacramento, California is based on a sensor in Las Vegas, NV. Different climate, more than a day’s drive away, different habitat for plants & molds…. It makes no sense. I was surprised that the forecast showed zero tree pollen for Sacramento when there are a few trees in bloom & I see the clear signs of pollen, *and* it indicated that dust is our major issue which just doesn’t ring true at all for Sacramento in February. So, there’s a detailed forecast provided, but it’s complete garbage. Super disappointing. Perhaps this app is useful if you live in Denver or Las Vegas, but anywhere else in the west make sure you have a sensor “close” or the forecast may be utter nonsense.
