United StatesEPA's AirNow mobile app provides a simple interface for quickly checking current and forecast air quality information for planning daily activities and protecting your health. The app automatically displays the current AQI (Air Quality Index) for your local area or any area you wish to check, and allows you to store multiple areas for quick reference.
No QA on this app.
Dev team, open app, select a location using city name and click details. CRASH!!!!!!
United StatesBad app. Where did it come from?
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.
United StatesWorst AQ app ever made
Another government piece of garbage. This is the worst website and app. Do not trust and do not use. We have active wildfires going on. Ash falling from the sky. Air now says everything is fine and the airport is wonderful with a Green smiley face. Meanwhile, in the real world, it burns your eyes and throat and you can’t see to even drive, but according to the government, everything is perfectly fine! And to think, in the pandemic beginning, we trusted the government. Now we all know better!! Anyway, stay far away from this app. It is not real time and does not show you the correct conditions. They just use this as a way to show that their stupid tree, hugging, go green agenda is doing something. If you want a real air quality reading, use IQ air or purple air. They actually give you real time data. You cannot set alerts with this app
United StatesHelpful, but
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.
United StatesNo air monitor in my area, so the app is useless
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.
United StatesMap hasn’t changed in months.
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.
United StatesMisleading and little practical usage
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.
