Super Helpful // A Daily App
Jul 12, 2018 Huge fan of this app. My wife and I are both outdoorsy people, often running or biking daily and camping on the weekends. This app has given us a tool to make better decisions on whether we should exercising inside or out, and what areas of our home state of Colorado have the best air quality when making weekend travel plans.more -
Sep 14, 2020 As someone with asthma and other health issues, this app has been great for information at a fast glance.more -
Sep 16, 2020 Lots of valuable info! Appreciate being able to get weather and air quality in the same app.more -
Neet app - but not really accurate
Mar 8, 2017 This is a very nice app. Easy to use and very understandable! However, I want people to know this app may not display the most accurate air quality data (although is probably close enough for some personal decisions on outdoor activities) If your health depends on it, then you need to use the EPA's website - do not use this app!! Just read what the license agreement says: "information may appear in a delay and/or may be partial or inaccurate, and therefore we cannot and do not warrant that the content available on the App is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free."...more

Not Really
Mar 7, 2017 This app uses some type of algorithm to predict what the air quality should be in your area, not what it actually is. It does not use air monitoring devices, for instance. It is so often radically wrong as to be useless. For instance, I've seen heavy rains for 12 hours straight and still had the app tell me the air quality was poor with a heavy load of small particulate matter. Impossible! It has also told me the air was great, when it was in reality so clogged with acrid smoke from burning off the sugar cane fields that you needed to hold a cloth over your face to breathe. The app is useless. Don't waste your time with it.more -
Inaccurate readings
Aug 23, 2020 I’m hugely disappointed with this app. It was always my go to and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to realize how bad and inaccurate it is. It is incredibly irresponsible especially in a time where wildfires are happening so often. It will literally be raining ash and the app never leaves the “moderate” setting. People need apps like this to stay alert and really know how hazardous the air is at the time, but BreezoMeter is either broken or irresponsible. Save your time and money and look for a more accurate app!more -
Not Accurate
Jan 7, 2019 I love the layout of this app. It gives a breakdown of what pollutants are in the air and recommends what actions you should take. Unfortunately, for my area at least, it is extremely inaccurate. Right now it says the air quality in my area is moderate, while all other apps, websites, news reports, and my own eyes are telling me the air quality is very unhealthy. I wish they would fix it because I otherwise prefer the app to others.more -
OK if you live near an air monitor
Jul 11, 2020 I learned that I live almost one hundred miles from an EPA air monitor. So this app is useless. It was giving me a reading from across the state that had nothing to do with my location. There should be some distance limit or the app should say where the reading is coming from. The EPA site honestly tells me it cannot get a reading for my location because the closest monitor is so far away.more -
Sep 19, 2020 I like the app, but its IQ is backwards. Higher is should be worse which is confusing compared to industry acceptance.more
- Checking the air quality should be as simple as checking the weather. This index is clear to understand and simple to use with an intuitive layout
- Discover the healthiest areas in your location with real-time air quality maps that cover 67 countries around the world
- Get health recommendations that are tailor-made just for you to help decide whether to go outside or plan a trip based on air quality

Now I get it
Aug 20, 2018 Originally I wrote a bad review about the accuracy but if you go to the very bottom of the screen that shows your air quality, there is a scale that shows you the AQI LEVEL. It’s different numbering than we use in the USA(this company is in Israel), the lower the number the worse the air quality. I do agree with the one review that this app should adapt to each country’s AQI scoring.more -
It was fine until last week’s update.
Sep 27, 2020 The AQI number doesn’t match your local address number you see on the map view any longer. Also it doesn’t match other local AQI numbers anymore either. What happened? Where is this new misleading data coming from??? Change it back to how it was!more -

Dangerously inaccurate
Nov 10, 2019 The need for hyper-local air quality data is obvious, but this app provides misinformation. For example, during the recent California wildfires, the app reported that my air home quality was “GOOD“ (76 - higher numbers indicate better air), when three Purple Air sensors within a few blocks of my home reported air quality was “UNHEALTHY” (150 or higher, using the US air quality index (AQI) where higher numbers indicate worse air). We could smell and see smoke in the air at the time.more -
Sep 9, 2020 9/9/20 air so bad in South San Francisco, ca that the street lights are still on at 11:00 a.m. yet your app says the air is clear? Delete once again 11/11/18 worst fire calif history near chico ca and your app says 64. The moving elephant trunk is embarrassing and phallic.more -
Maybe the European API is Calculated Differently?
Sep 7, 2017 It looks like the company who created this app. is based out of Israel, so maybe the API is calculated differently, because the API result I was given is numerically the opposite of the result I was given from my state's government-maintained website. My state is showing an API of 175, whereas the app is showing an API of 16. Both indicate poor air quality. I will be deleting the app., because I need to be able to check the air quality with values I can compare and understand.more
What’s Groovy
Update: Thanks for the response. I'll definitely check those out. 5 stars! Clear, accurate information. I do wish there was a mouse over or tap-able explanation for what the PM 2.5, O3, etc. stood for. That would be helpful. Otherwise a great app.

What’s Subpar
UPDATE: still dangerously inaccurate readings. We are adjacent to several wildfires and air quality is bad with a strong smoky odor and visible soot blocking the sun. AirNow, PurpleAir, and the county’s AQ monitoring agency are all saying the air is hazardous and not to go outside at all. The local authorities are saying not to be outside for more than a minute without a respirator. Meanwhile, Breezometer is is displaying a “green” status and telling me the air in my area is “Good” (67).
This is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. Users’ health could be put at risk by Breezeometer’s bad data. I’m going to have to uninstall and update my rating to 1 star.
- - - - -
I want to like this app, but the data sources for its air quality readings do not seem to be very accurate. It is literally raining ashes outside right now, yet but the app says my area’s air quality as “moderate (55)”. All the other AQ readings (AirNow, Purple Air, BAAQMD, etc.) show the air as hazardous.
Also, it drives me nuts when the Breezometer app alerts me of an active fire just 4 miles away, but when I tap the “Learn More” button, nothin happens. This app needs a lot of work, IMO.

Love this app especially with all the wildfire smoke we have in the Spokane area. A real lifesaver.

Just what I need to help me stay well and healthy! I know when I can open windows to let house air out and when I can stay outdoors longer. I have asthma so this is wonderful for me.

Why can't we save locations, especially when Androids can do this with this app?? -
So far so Ok
I see there is a fire 6km from me. I’d like to be able to click that and get info on that fire. Great looking app. -
Update
Update?? More of a downgrade. App has become user unfriendly. Who’s idea was this? Fire them ASAP. -
Amazing, but...
Guys thank you so much for coming up with such and amazing app! It's more than incredible. I just have only one huge problem, I recently moved to a city for a couple of years that you don't have :(. It is Santiago of Chile. I really wish you could add it soon!!! -
Ok
Easy to read good for location but uses their own rating system that seems opposite of the AQI. Ali there is no information on how they get their number so I worry it is arbitrary.

Other data providers have our area at near 200aqi and this app is saying 54. Definitely double check other sources before making your decision. -
Cool looking but inaccurate
So I love the layout of this app, but unfortunately I went to a location that was rated good at 76, and the area happened to have poor air quality with visible smoke in the air. Will look to other sources for more accurate data. -

There are currently California wildfires within 30 miles of here and the smoke smell and air quality is terrible this morning, but the app says our air quality is excellent. We can barely tolerate the smell and we’re inside the house. -

Also, it drives me nuts when the Breezometer app alerts me of an active fire just 4 miles away, but when I tap the “Learn More” button, nothin happens. This app needs a lot of work, IMO. -
OK if you live near an air monitor
I learned that I live almost one hundred miles from an EPA air monitor. So this app is useless. It was giving me a reading from across the state that had nothing to do with my location. There should be some distance limit or the app should say where the reading is coming from. The EPA site honestly tells me it cannot get a reading for my location because the closest monitor is so far away. -
Disappointing
I have been frustrated with pollen.com. Their emails aren’t reliable and their index does not seem to correlate with my and my wife’s allergy symptoms. While BreezoMeter uses a 0-5 scale instead of the standard pollen count, I was impressed that it’s pollen level seemed to highly correspond with my symptoms. Pollen.com says my area’s count is 7/12, I.e. medium, but breezometer says specifically grass pollen is 5/5 and I feel that’s accurate based on my symptoms. However, other than the app reporting the level of 3 types of pollen, it has no other pollen features. I cannot change the heat map from displaying AQI to pollen (like on their website). I can’t customize or set up any iOS, SMS, or email notifications. I can’t connect it to IFTTT to control my air filter. It would be more useful to me to simply add their website to my home screen, so I’ll be deleting the app right after I submit this review and do that. -
Return elephant meter
I want the elephant meter back it made the app unique . Without the elephant meter it is just a generic air quality app
-
Not Accurate
I love the layout of this app. It gives a breakdown of what pollutants are in the air and recommends what actions you should take. Unfortunately, for my area at least, it is extremely inaccurate. Right now it says the air quality in my area is moderate, while all other apps, websites, news reports, and my own eyes are telling me the air quality is very unhealthy. I wish they would fix it because I otherwise prefer the app to others. -

I like the app, but its IQ is backwards. Higher is should be worse which is confusing compared to industry acceptance.

Great idea but not making it
Love how fun the elephant is and how easy it is to use. But like other reviewers are saying it is not accurate. It says we're in the red lower teens and it's breezy and so clear today! The last couple days we couldn't even see our neighboring mtns and it was in the yellow... I compared online and other sites that say we are almost in the green today. Keep trying BreezoMeter! -
One of the most polluted city in the world, Kathmandu gets a score of 74 whereas where I live, where the quality of air is significantly better, it shows a score of 65! This app is trash!
-
Changing Current Location
Your “current location” is pre-set and is usually not accurate. One my app. it’s miles off! You can set another location but you have to change it every time you open the app. In this regard I liked the previous version better. -
Pretty but inaccurate
wildly inaccurate. other apps/news sources say the air quality is extremely poor and i can see that the air quality is very poor but this app tells me it’s “good” air quality, and the AQI is way off from what other apps tell me. I wanted it to work, but at least for now it does not. -
Data is not accurate, check your other sources
Other data providers have our area at near 200aqi and this app is saying 54. Definitely double check other sources before making your decision. -
Cool looking but inaccurate
So I love the layout of this app, but unfortunately I went to a location that was rated good at 76, and the area happened to have poor air quality with visible smoke in the air. Will look to other sources for more accurate data. -
Great, when it works
Love this app, when it works. Half the time it shows 0 though, which I know is not accurate. Not thrilled.
-
Not Really
This app uses some type of algorithm to predict what the air quality should be in your area, not what it actually is. It does not use air monitoring devices, for instance. It is so often radically wrong as to be useless. For instance, I've seen heavy rains for 12 hours straight and still had the app tell me the air quality was poor with a heavy load of small particulate matter. Impossible! It has also told me the air was great, when it was in reality so clogged with acrid smoke from burning off the sugar cane fields that you needed to hold a cloth over your face to breathe. The app is useless. Don't waste your time with it. -
Inaccurate readings
I’m hugely disappointed with this app. It was always my go to and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to realize how bad and inaccurate it is. It is incredibly irresponsible especially in a time where wildfires are happening so often. It will literally be raining ash and the app never leaves the “moderate” setting. People need apps like this to stay alert and really know how hazardous the air is at the time, but BreezoMeter is either broken or irresponsible. Save your time and money and look for a more accurate app! -
Dangerously inaccurate
The need for hyper-local air quality data is obvious, but this app provides misinformation. For example, during the recent California wildfires, the app reported that my air home quality was “GOOD“ (76 - higher numbers indicate better air), when three Purple Air sensors within a few blocks of my home reported air quality was “UNHEALTHY” (150 or higher, using the US air quality index (AQI) where higher numbers indicate worse air). We could smell and see smoke in the air at the time. -
9/9/20 air so bad in South San Francisco, ca that the street lights are still on at 11:00 a.m. yet your app says the air is clear? Delete once again 11/11/18 worst fire calif history near chico ca and your app says 64. The moving elephant trunk is embarrassing and phallic.

Maybe the European API is Calculated Differently?
It looks like the company who created this app. is based out of Israel, so maybe the API is calculated differently, because the API result I was given is numerically the opposite of the result I was given from my state's government-maintained website. My state is showing an API of 175, whereas the app is showing an API of 16. Both indicate poor air quality. I will be deleting the app., because I need to be able to check the air quality with values I can compare and understand. -
Keeps nagging me for my locations service
This was the only reason I used this app, the fact it works and doesn't nag for location services now it defaults to Israel no matter what even if I have saved locations. It also nags you more than once about your location services. This app is now garbage I've been using it for years and now I'm deleting it because of recent bad design changes. -
This stupid app just let me down in a big way! Was waiting all night long to open the windows and blow in some air because of a heatwave here, but we also have major fire smoke. App finally said green, and so I went for it. Started choking almost immediately. Got online with Purple Air and AirNow, and both had my neighborhood in the severe unhealthy range, worse I've seen here all year. Now I've got a house full of smoke with no way to clear it out!
-
What happened?
This used to be a nearly flawless app. Now... it currently says my air is 50 for air quality despite the fact that the smoke from neighboring states’ fires is as thick as fog at the moment. Three other apps have rated the air quality in my area unsafe for anyone to go outside. As a person with a bit of asthma I can’t rely on this app anymore. Very disappointing. -
Inaccurate
There are currently California wildfires within 30 miles of here and the smoke smell and air quality is terrible this morning, but the app says our air quality is excellent. We can barely tolerate the smell and we’re inside the house. -
Inaccurate
Set the air quality index was 18 when it's actually 74. Said that an 18 air quality index was poor. When it's actually quite good. I'm not sure if they have their own writing or what. But I am deleting this app after using it for just one day
