1. I mainly got the app to get a read on how much forest fire smoke there was out there so I could decide if I should bike to work in the morning, and the app didn't really give me a good sense of that, whereas the air quality indexes I found on the web fingered that pretty well, and also told me that the poor quality was specifically the result of small particulates (aka smoke).
2. I'm glad that I didn't waste money to get the paid version.Requires that you use location tracking in order to receive notifications of changes in air quality.
3. I've been using brezometer for years now, in conjunction with other providers / services (e.g. airnow.gov, Plume, purpleair, IQAir)... I tried to pay for the ad free version, but it was a joke (had to consent to sharing all kinds of personal data).
4. I find that very helpful because the air quality just a short distance from where you are can be significantly different! Not crazy about including the AQI-US AND Breezometer Global reading! This is so confusing because they express the same conditions in different ways so it seems like they conflict - sort of.
5. Also notifications frequently do not appear when air quality changes or are often completely different than what is reported when the app is opened.Great app for keeping on top of your local air quality.
6. I'd happily pay a one-time $5.99 fee to get rid of ads (banner only, so far), but I won't pay a monthly fee.I have not found the way this app reports air quality to be useful.
7. I only want to see reported data and receive notifications for one location.
8. Not sure how it is without adds, but the free version with adds has, over time, become a real pain.
9. 👍So overall I like this app because the map shows in detail a specific area's air quality COLOR.
10. Additionally, the index doesn't seem to correspond to the widely published AQI-based indexes I was using from the web at the time I was running this app.
11. It has good info but you have to search for it a bit more than some other weather apps.Most accurate of the three I've tried.
