EPA AIRNow for Positive User Reviews

✓ Easy to useI chose this app after trying the two air quality apps with the highest star ratings. This app was the easiest to use, and I like that I don’t need to create an account to use it. I have been recommending it to friends and family..Lilla425Version: 2.0.1

✓ Reliable and FastI definitely recommend this if you often check websites for information. It’s much faster to get information and I have checked with other sites to make sure it is accurate and so far it is. I am confident in this app and I really appreciate the forecast and summary of the week they give. It really gives me a peace of mind..Ciscolover147Version: 2.0.1

✓ Functional but could be moreSimple functionality: it shows you your current AQI and AQI forecast for locations of interest. That’s it. If this app also could also display the associated AQI map like they do on the website, I would give this five stars..ProfoundquietVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Add the trending data from website version.The government should put more money into this program to improve it! If more sensors were deployed, if the sensors could be read every 30 minutes (versus hourly) , and if the app could add the trends that are listed in the website version, that would be a significant improvement!.JkhovanVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Best air quality app I’ve foundWould be 5 stars if it had worldwide coverage. If you only care about locations in the US this is the best app I’ve tried. All air quality apps only update once per hour. This one tends to update about 15 minutes after the hour, but afaik based on this app and others, updates are sensor dependent..Run2tunesVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Good start, but could be betterI would love to get a notification when air quality in my area exceeds thresholds that I set (or returns to healthy level). I would also like to see the area map like you can on the website..ShiwalaVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Click “Detail” to see the time reading was takenGreat app, easy to use. Just make sure you press “Detail” to find out the time the reading was taken.OngakumusiqueVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Another UpdateYet another update: This app does NOT give real-time, there are articles online that explain why. It's not a bad app, but I guess it does the job of presenting epa's official aqi? SERIOUS UPDATE: TO ANYONE IN CALIFORNIA READING THIS, USING PURPLE AIR (browser) INSTEAD OF THIS APP. The visibility in my hometown has suddenly gotten a lot worse (in the past half hour, we have gone from 150 aqi to 500!!), but this app says we are still at 128 aqi!!) This app just does not update quickly enough!! DO NOT RELY ON THIS APP UNTIL THEY FIX IT. IMPORTANT UPDATE: The aqi on the app seems to be straight up wrong. It does accurately show the aqi listed on the official website, but I can't tell if the sensors are straight up wrong or if the data is slow-updating. For instance, last night in my area the aqi finally dropped to around 50's. Visibly the smoke had disappeared and the smell of wildfire smoke gone. Today (this morning) visibly the smoke is back and the smell is stronger than ever. This app (and its website) says that the current air quality is still only 50's aqi?! I cross-referenced with some Purple air sensors (aka community provided sensors), and the sensors near my house seem to be reporting a way-more accurate aqi of 150+. What is going on?! Can I trust this app?! Original: Great app that shows the aqi of any chosen city. I think it would be even better if it added the interactive map (that's already available on AirNow's website)!.ScslckjeVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Great AppThis App has been really helpful during the Canadian forest fires. I get real-time data all day and it even shows 3 different stations for my town..Papa NeuieVersion: 2.1.0

✓ How to delete a placeI really like this app and in general it is easy to use. It took me awhile, though, to figure out how to delete a location from the “places” list. To delete a location, tap “Places” at the bottom right of the home screen. The next screen will be a list of places and an option to add a new place at the bottom of the list. Tapping the settings icon at the top of the “Places” screen will give you the option to delete places from the list..Poppy CAVersion: 2.0.1

✓ This is what it looks like when the government works!Easy to use app that provides you (potentially) life saving information. Too often, government apps are a cluttered mess of information that is difficult to comprehend and use quickly. This app, on the other hand, perfectly displays what you need yo know an the opening screen, and allows you to easily get additional (location based) information if you want it. More agencies need to model this app for how to get information to the public..Blu-JoshVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Headed in the Right DirectionI’m pleased to see my tax dollars put to such good use. There is a lot of useful information here and more all the time. Please continue to develop this app. We need it more than ever..What Faye WantsVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Much more accurate than AirVisualTried out both apps during recent CA wildfires in SF Bay Area. AirNow was solid EPA data that was consistent with changes in smoke levels due to winds. AirVisual by comparison was often wildly off by orders of magnitude. AirNow is the keeper and I deleted AirVisual..7$tringVersion: 2.0.1

✓ My daughter LOVES this app!My eight-year-old daughter loves checking the air quality every morning! We even have added the cities where all our relatives live (including my brother in Los Angeles), and she enjoys letting her grandparents know when they should stay inside. She also tracked how LA went from purple before quarantine to yellow during lockdown to back to unhealthy during wildfire season….PcvsallygVersion: 2.1.0

✓ New version is stellarThe latest update really changed this app around. It looks amazing and works incredibly well now. The new forecast function will definitely be useful come this next fire season..OnlyratingfomahfreehintsVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Love this!This is a very helpful app that includes forecasts for air quality. It updates every hour and is specific to your location..Kh yuh f CJ kVersion: 2.1.0

✓ GreatI found the app to be clear and easy to use. There are many sensors in the field of varying quality so yes there are different numbers as another reviewer has noted.. The app descriptions are clear that local conditions can also vary in signficant ways. It pullls together an excellent overall picture of the current Canadian fire smoke problems of late June 2023..WillbrlwVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Most informativeWith the new map feature you can select options to see permanent air quality monitors and wildfires along with terrain for the most up to date information I’ve found from other apps/websites..IWalkVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Great improvement, please rotate 90’ for ipad!I have been using this app for several years now, especially during FIRE SEASON on the west coast. Now it will save/display multiple locations on the same page. Huge improvement!! Please make the app capable of rotating on the ipad, iphone view only is not an improvement, hence 4 stars. I appreciate the graphics though..SantanaRioVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Excellent design, works wellThe visual presentation is super: you immediately see the air quality and what the health ranges are. I used the website in past years and it had the same information, but not as well presented. The current websis like this app, but the app is easier to use..Charlie HowardVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Helpful, butThis 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..Mostly SwellVersion: 2.1.0
