EPA Smoke Sense for Negative User Reviews

Claims that it provides information about air quality tomorrow, but does notUnderstanding what the forecast for the air quality is tomorrow was my primary reason for downloading this app, and it doesn’t appear to do that. So seems like a useless app for me..Version: 2.5

Just crashes.I answered all the personal questions when it first opens and then it crashed. Now it won't open. Useless..Version: 2.1

Minimizes itself every time I start itRated one star because after I completed their survey, the app will not stay open. I haven’t been able to see anything. We are affected by the horrible 2020 fires in Oregon and this sounded like it would be helpful. Running on a gen 6 iPad..Version: 2.5

App crashesI was excited to use this app but after filling out the intro survey it crashes each time I try to open it. I am looking forward to using it when this issue is fixed!.Version: 2.0

Not workingIt worked for a day and now it opens and then closes immediately..Version: 2.5

Wouldn’t stop crashingFilled in all my info, immediately crashed. Reopened the app. Crashed again. Deleted, redownloaded, reentered my info. Crashed. Reopened. Crashed. Reopened. Crashed. Deleted and do not plan to download again unless they fix it. I couldn’t access any information, because after being open for half a second it crashes. Useless..Version: 2.5

Data gathering app. Look elsewhere.This app is all about data gathering about your personal information. Do not recommend.Version: 2.5

Not openingThe app even not opening on iPhone XS with the latest ver iOS.Version: 2.5

Crashes on openingThis app doesn’t work. It crashes immediately after opening. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it..Version: 2.5

UselessDownloaded this app to test it out as it is in guidance for air quality during wildfires. Was hopeful I could push it out to my community during a close wildfire affecting air quality. Was extremely disappointed to find out that it doesn’t work. We have air quality alerts for our area and this app does not pick up on it. Either fix the app or get rid of it because it’s not achieving its goal of providing help to those that need it..Version: 3.3.4

Great idea but…Tabs at bottom are basically unreadable simply because the text/icons are gray on a medium blue background. Contrast, please? Black on blue maybe? Also loading basically anything takes many... long... seconds. Call me spoiled but no other app i use does that so much..Version: 3.0.3

CrashesThe air quality of this app is hazardous due to all the crashes. This app won’t run. I even rebooted my phone. Same. CRASH!!!.Version: 2.1

Can’t use it without being in research study?I don’t know if it’s a good app or not because it wouldn’t allow me to access anything without giving my own personal information to become part of their research study. At last not as far as I could tell. Delete..Version: 1.0.6

Does not work.Upon opening the app I am asked to consent to a study that is supposed to be voluntary but you don't get an option to opt out. I agreed and filled out the survey. Then the app crashes. Try opening again and it continues to crash. Same thing over and over. Don't download the app. Waste of time..Version: 2.5

Constantly crashesHave been attempting to use his app for a few days and it takes nearly 2 minutes to load then crashes shortly after opening. I was really looking forward to using this tool as I have been dealing with severe smoke conditions from the Camp Fire and was hoping to utilize this app to find safe places to escape out of the smoke..Version: 2.1

Great While it WorkedI was really glad to Find this app as it allowed me to monitor the air-quality here in the Coachella Valley on a daily basis. It was great for about three weeks but it has now just stopped working altogether. Keeps telling me I need to add ZIP Code to my profile (which I had already done) and when it tries to access the profile page the app then just shuts down. Been like that for days on end now. Tried deleting it and re-downloading it-got exactly the same result..Version: 1.0.6

Phishing siteWhy does a fire map need to know my sex, age, education!.Version: 2.5

Could be more usableThe mandatory questionnaire is weird, but it’s better than the AIRNow app. Good data, really bad design. I quickly tapped some random buttons on the questionnaire to get it to disappear. I wouldn’t trust any data gathered by this app for a scientific publication of findings. Update: how did it get worse?? Do you guys test before releasing? Or just “it builds—ship it!”.Version: 2.0

Inaccurate readingsMy location is directly near the fires right now and we are totally smoked out. Purple air says we are at 150ppm and this app says green at 18 particles Cmon. This from the EPA? Really? Get your stuff together EPA!!!.Version: 2.5

App won’t launch - just crashesAfter taking all my personal data the app crashed and won’t launch..Version: 2.1

Prescribed Fire edition neededWe need more prescribed fire to reduce the occurrence of wildfires. Another addition of this app for prescribed fire would be very useful. Locations with national parks/fire dependent eco-regions that routinely use controlled fires would benefit from an app that provides alerts and preparatory information..Version: 2.0

Doesn’t work most of the timeThis app is helpful when it works, but it doesn’t work most of the time. It only shows smoke plumes 20% of the time. Right now it is totally frozen and won’t do anything..Version: 1.0.6

Poor AppThis app won’t allow me to use it unless I give it all my personal information. I deleted it..Version: 2.5

HelpThe app won’t open. It sounds like a great app but I guess I’ll never know..Version: 2.1

Asks you to review week on a MondayI was into the second or third screen before I realized I had been asked to report on days that hadn't happened yet. Then you can't get out of the questionnaire..Version: 1.0.5

GarbageJust tediously long survey to support someone’s pet research project. I was jut looking for government funded real time reports so the I can avoid lung damage from wildfire smoke. I hope this junk wasn’t funded by my tax dollars..Version: 2.4

ClunkySuper hard on the iPhone 8. Slows everything down. Only way to restore the phone is to manually close the app. Kinda cool when it works but often crashes and slooooow..Version: 2.5

Doesn’t workFilled out their survey, now the app just crashes on opening..Version: 2.5

Crashes constantlyMap feature no longer works. Crashes whenever you try to look at the map..Version: 3.3.4

Maps load now but future smoke overlay is missingThis was one of the most helpful features. The apple and android maps now load but there is no option to choose future smoke dispersion. The smoke plumes in now view is limited because that view does not forecast movement or show if it is at ground level. Please fix ASAP..Version: 3.3.1

Wont even openI’ve downloaded and filled in my info 4 times now and it still doesnt work. The first time it glitched out and had me refill everything, then the app loaded what Im guessing is the home page and then dissapeared. I tried opening it again and it did the same thing. Deleted the app and repeat fill in, same thing happened, tried one last time and same problem. The worst part is I downloaded the app because my house is currently surrounded by fired in every direction and I wanted to try and map a safe driving route in case we get evacuated. If there was a negative stars option Id choose that! Worst app for an emergency!.Version: 2.5
