EPA AIRNow

After not working for a while last year, this app is updating again and providing critical information. I check it multiple times a day because I have asthma. It’s the only app I’ve found that provides actual measurements of ozone and PM10, rather than relying on modeled estimates, which can be less accurate than direct measurements. Your experience with the app will likely depend on your state’s own air quality reporting, since AirNow draws on data from state monitoring networks. Please keep this app updated!!!

The last update removed the arrow on the meter.

I would love a widget like what IQAir has, where you can see current and forecasted air quality at a glance. Also, I’d like to see a ppm breakdown for individual pollutants in addition to the bundled AQI.

Not worth checking, the information is not as real time and loading issues have been really persistent the past few months in particular. Don’t recommend for real time updates

Suddenly app became totally unresponsive and useless.

Great when it works

Cannot read property 'reportingArea'

This is one of those apps that I use every day. I check it every morning before exercising to see what the air quality is. They seem to continually update the app and make it better in time. I don’t have any complaints about the app and find it very useful and reliable

The current US administration does not believe in science, healthcare, climate issues or accurate reporting of any data. So unfortunately this application no longer works. Seek alternative information from your local weather stations outside of the “fox” branding if you want accurate details on the forecast. Most are going to a triangular approach. This means they are taking data from 3 points, taking the average and using it as the hourly AQI. It’s the best we now have unfortunately.

Have used this app for a few years, but recently it has stopped working. I rely on this information and am disappointed that it’s no longer accessible

For whatever reason it takes forever (>1 min) to boot up. Not a reliable source of info for me right now. Do better.

This app is highly accurate, and super user friendly. Being an asthmatic (and living in the PNW), I have to pay attention to all the fires and smoke warnings. This app has helped me so much!! I’ve literally used it to move to safer locations indicated by the app, when surviving all these fires and the smoke that floods the area.
