EPA's AIRNow Customer Insights

1. All the information for my surrounding area is pretty accurate (sometimes the data in some points can be wrong but if you look at the surrounding areas, you will get a good reaading) If you hit the button that says smoke on the bottom left, it gives you a very detailed picture of where smoke is traveling from wildfires and where the most current wildfires are, along with air quality data.Doesn't give real time data? I don't know.

2. I don't mind checking a couple times every day, but if the data exists, why not make it available and easy to see? I'd rather not write a program to collect hourly data from the website... But if I have to, I might... Maybe the devs should just make this a quick feature like a chart or something.Very useful info, especially for lung safety & health.

3. The app needs a widget mode to provide visual data of the home place without opening the app.Apps pretty decent.

4. Areas with more sensors provide more data; so usefulness depends on geographical area.

5. Wish it would show me the air quality for whatever location I'm at automatically without having to add places manually (similar to how weather apps work).

6. And then load again to get actual monitor location data... So slow.Would be cool if they provided trends so you can see changes over the past week from recorded data.

7. Looks good, GUI is easy to use, lots of good data and the map works really well.

8. If you want detailed data, you'll need to visit the website.

9. Sometimes e readings from specific monitors difficult to get.Good for a quick look at air quality.

10. The website data is always several hours delayed.

11. I don't like having to constantly add and remove places manually.Upon stay you just enter your zip, confirm your neighbourhood/area, and your instantly get an AQI reading and 3-day forecast.
