Pollen Wise

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.

If there is a sensor that is nearby this app was great. However the sensor near me is gone and now the closest sensor is not close. This app is no longer useful to me

I frequently have conflicting data on my app and ended up deleting it. One example is the main dashboard will say “dust levels high” but the current reading on the dust section says 0. Another major issue is during the recent air quality issues on the east coast where dust particles where extremely high, it indicated “low dust levels” even when a number of other apps and services agreed on ppm counts being well over 250

If the sensor from which pollen wise draws its data is nearby, this is a lovely app. BUT, the distance is almost *never* nearby for me. So, I’ve dumped it.

…but doesn’t really deliver. The pollen counts are erratic and don’t correspond to my symptoms, the symptoms of my friends, or to what other pollen trackers say. The app claims the sensor is “very close” but refuses to disclose what that means. My guess: on the same or neighboring continent. But it gives a dust reading, which none of the others do, and that’s valuable.
