User Reviews for Paku for Purple Air
Good start, hoping for more
Areas I’d like to see improvement:- Ability to choose a sensor and stay with that sensor. I own a PA sensor and only want to see data from that sensor. I don’t want to see data from other sensors as I move locations.- Get rid of the AQandU filter. I don’t like that filter nor trust the data it produces. If this app is going to force the use of a filter, it should be the EPA filter, not the AQandU filter.- Provide time-based averages. Seeing the current AQI is only a small part of the picture. Gaining an understanding of how the AQI value is trending is immensely valuable and often times more valuable than the current reading.
Finally an app to view PurpleAir data!
I love how Paku lets me avoid the clunky PurpleAir website. The app is wonderfully simple and looks good.However, the app is a little too simple. For example, the app never refreshes data. If I leave the app open and want to see the current air quality, I have to quit and relaunch the app. Ideally the app would refresh data automatically every 5-10 minutes. However, a manual refresh option is an absolute requirement for an app like this. Having to quit and relaunch the app just to refresh the data available is super obtuse and cumbersome.Another issue is that PurpleAir sensors grab lots more data than only the AQI. I find PurpleAir sensors even more useful for their temperature readings than their AQI readings. The sensor saturation is so high in the San Francisco Bay Area that they make it really easy to see what all the microclimates are like around the bay. I can then use this to plan my outdoor activities. It would be fantastic if Paku allowed us to view temperature data from PurpleAir sensors.All said, it's fantastic that Paku exists at all. I'd gladly pay $10 for this app as it exists today. Add auto-refresh and temperature data and I'd more than willingly pay $20. This app has huge value potential for my daily life. I hope to see it reach that potential one day.
Really Nice, but Missing That Last Bit
Paku is filled with a lot of great simplicity, making it easy to use and pretty to look at. However, I’ve noticed that the settings I use for viewing values resets each time I close the app. I think the experience would be better if these didn’t need to be keyed in each time. It would also be nice if the widget didn’t just report the nearest station value, but instead averaged the nearest 3, for example, considering that sensors can often be individually unreliable. This averaging feature would be also nice when zooming out, so that values would be legible at “higher altitudes”.
Great app with a few annoyances.
First of all, this app is incredible. It’s map and widgets are great and show the data great. Your most recent update added a lot of features I was wanted. I only have a few problems. First, when zooming in on the San Jose area, the map lags. If I am not careful, my iPad Pro 2020 will lag out to the point of a force restart- the equivalent of holding down the power button on a laptop. I have a few suggestions- a search bar and the ability to favorite locations and have them stand out. Temperature at the sensor would also be cool in the widget and app. Other than that, incredible app.
How bad is the air today?????
We don’t live near an airport so what we saw on the news might or might not be accurate. With all the fires and crazy wind shifts in San Jose it is great that we can click an app and get real time reading with in 1/4 mile of our house. I’m a Beekeeper and some days I do a lot of heavy lifting moving hives and honey. This app lets me know if it’s safe or I should wait a day. Thanks so much for making this available on line.

Works great
Living on the west coast with the insane amount of large wildfires, checking the air quality has become a necessity. This app makes it so much easier. It works great and and is easy to use. There are only 2 things I would add to make it even better. Add the ability to see the “woodsmoke” layer that Purple Air now offers, and add the ability to save multiple locations that I can easily toggle between. Multiple locations is super helpful when traveling, plus I like to be able to monitor the air quality for my mother in law who is elderly and lives in another state.
Great app for quick and easy access to Purple Air data
This is just exactly what is needed for getting quick and easy access to your favorite and/or closest Purple Air sensor via Home Screen widget, with quick access from there to the purple air map. Love being able to do a quick swipe right to see what the air quality is right now where I’m at and from there get additional info if needed.
Good Concept but Buggy
I love the concept of an app that provides a widget for purple air. However, the widget does not work correctly. Even when I change the settings (indoor vs outdoor sensor, conversion factor, real-time vs average) The widget does not reflect these settings. Additionally, every time I view the widget, it shows different data moment to moment. At first I thought this was because the widget was displaying real time data, but the data on purple air itself was not changing second to second when I tested this so I think that’s an additional bug. Hopefully these get worked out and the LRAPA conversion added :)
Great App for local air quality
Love that the app uses purple air to show my local quality. Sooooo close to 5 stars! The interface is simple and gives a good way to see purple air numbers. Awesome that I can change the correction algorithms though would be even better if I could change to the new EPA correction. The AQandU one is pretty useless to be honest when I compare it to a close by AirNow sensor. Last, but not least a small annoyance for those that have a purple air sensor. The blue dot indicating my GPS location is rendered directly on top of my sensor reading. Would be awesome if that could be rendered behind it.
Best Purple Air Monitor App
I have found that while Purple Air does not have an official app, Paku is as close to what I'd expect of an app if Purple Air did make one. The integration of Apple Maps with Purple Air data, combine with the ability to click on a radial AQI and launch the Purple Air website within the Paku app, and real time widgets on the iPhone, make this a near perfect experience. I only wish that there would be more development into an Apple Watch complication, as well as data integration such as PM 1, 2.5, 10, temp and humidity all at a glance from the widget view.
Description
Paku is the best app for checking PurpleAir. View sensors on a map, filter by indoor or outdoor sensors, and choose from AQAndU or US EPA conversions. Paku also shows the average AQI over the last few minutes, hours, day and week, and lets you choose to see these data points on the map as well.
