My only complaint with the app used to be that I couldn't get notifications for certain air quality levels. And now they've added that, so I love this app it's great. I also love the descriptions because it helps me figure out what to expect and I feel like it's written in a way that's pretty easy to get the overall gist event if you don't get the techy terms. Nice!

Needs notifications, widgets, and automatic location. These are basic features that people have been requesting for years to make the app functional.

Beautiful design, which was probably peer-reviewed out the kazoo by very smart people. If you're an American citizen you've already paid for this app through your taxes, so they don't care about your data and they don't show you ads. A no-brainer.

Doesn't give real time data? I don't know. The website data is always several hours delayed. This doesn't give a time stamp of when it was last updated. Also doesn't let me see nearest monitors, and I'm in between several. Useful for doing a quick check of different places I'm traveling to though. But the website is probably easier to use, although much slower loading. And then load again to get actual monitor location data... So slow.

Needs notifications and alerts. It's also a fair amount of clicks/taps to get to sensors near you if you're not close to an official EPA sensor. Purple Air sensors are shown on the map, and you can favorite them, but they don't show in your dashboard: you have to go back to the map and navigate to the specific sensor again. EPA, please make this app more useful for the public's primary use case --notifications.

The map, in contour view, is straight up wrong and does not match the AirNow website. Also, you can only view current conditions in contour view, not the forecast, unlike the website. Also, if you set it to look at PM2.5 only and not ozone, it resets that setting when you toggle between contour and monitor views. Also, no widgets. So if you just want to get a quick number this might be slightly better than just going to the website, but if you want to look at the map and get a better sense...

Would be cool if they provided trends so you can see changes over the past week from recorded data. I don't mind checking a couple times every day, but if the data exists, why not make it available and easy to see? I'd rather not write a program to collect hourly data from the website... But if I have to, I might... Maybe the devs should just make this a quick feature like a chart or something.

Clean, easy to use interface that works great! Has a very small footprint (as in kilobytes). In addition to current readings, provides forecast and map. Plus, uses a tiny amount of data (mine averages just kilobytes over several months). Unintrusive - asks for just what it needs (only GPS). Not a battery killer either, doesn't query the GPS excessively, nor will it vampire your device performance (like some apps running/communicating constantly as a background app) Bonus - doesn't have/cause ads, nag-ware, or performance issues -- even though it's free. I've used it for years, and prefer it to (getting just) the emails because it provides updated readings throughout the day. This app is one of the first things I install whenever I change mobile devices. A 'must have' for me, I use it every day!
