User Reviews for EPA AIRNow
Unreliable Data
I downloaded this application with the hopes of getting close to accurate air quality readings because due to the fires in Northern California the air quality is hazardous. In Fernley, Nevada it says the air quality is (36) good but the AQI here is well over 500. The smoke is penetrating the house and extremely foggy outside, air difficult to breathe, yet the EPA has determined that the air quality here is good?! It’s extremely difficult to believe that this air constitutes as good. This app needs constant accurate updating.
No map
Downloaded the app to get current air quality readings in my area which the app does well. It’s fairly current data provided by my local agency with about 1 hour lag time. However, I also wanted the app so I could see the air quality MAP like on the website— no such luck. Adding the map feature would make this app much more useful and effective. Please consider for next round of updates.
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.
Reliable and Fast
I 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.
Bordering on Useless
I live close to a huge fire in Northern California. Last evening the sky was cloudy. This morning it seems almost like night — very dark orange sky. Very smokey. Ash falling like rain. But the app says that the air quality is 114. It has had this reading for 12 hours. The air quality has to be well in the 200’s. So, when is this app actually updated? It is not providing accurate information now, nor has it for the last 12 hours. Well, my eyes and nose are surely giving me an accurate air quality index.
Terribly Deceptive. Ultimately harmful to Users
Of all the pollution tracking apps, it’s embarrassing that the official US app is the worst. Although under this current administration of deniers and enablers, I can see why it is so.So why is it terrible? It only tracks and identifies PM2.5 and O3 in the atmosphere. That’s one of many dangerous and cancer causing agents in the air. It doesn’t track PM10- pollution that’s visible. So right now the sky from fires is orange and gray and hailing down ashes and the EPA AirNow app has a GREEN 34. A joke! It also doesn’t identify NO2- nitrous diOxide from the bringing of fossil fuels like coal,oil, gas, and diesel. Which currently is 110- a very harmful level.So in short- if you actually care about your health, that of your family and friends, don’t use this app OR BETTER YET, demand that they update to include all the really harmful elements. For us, the best monitor we’ve found so far is PLUME LABSfollowed by Air Matters and Air Visual- which are only slightly better than the EPA app.
My taxpayer $$ for this???
This app is so inaccurate and misleading, it’s hard to understand how EPA could get it SO wrong. As I attempt to breathe in a particle- filled haze of smokey Sierra Nevada air during this California fire season, Air Now consistently says all is just fine with a little smiley face and green color coding signifying healthy air. Meanwhile every other app, such a Purple Air and IQAir, are accurately telling me the air is hazardous. As an environmental scientist myself I wonder what data and algorithms EPA could possibly be using to be so wrong and about something this important to public health. Don’t bother with this app - try the others listed above if you want evidence based information on air quality.
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…
How to delete a place
I 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.
...that’s it?
I feel like something of this importance would be much more informative than this.. maybe add the ability to SHARE the days numbers? Or EXPLAIN what ground level ozone is? Maybe add a local or searchable and customizable timeline? Data tools? Links? More info...please.... hey you know what else would be rad??? If you guys loaned out air quality sensors across the country (at least) so we could fill in some blanks, get some accurate data logged in case there’s a future that is in the position to have interest in the atmosphere of today... assuming all goes well enough, somehow, ooh
