IQAir AirVisual | Air Quality Customer Service

The service is fantastic so this rating is for the company and the service it provides so that I can have peace of mind and know when it is safe to open my windows and let fresh air in. The mobile app is a bit cluttered and not intuitive. I also would like to see the mobile app have the same (or better) functionality than the mobile website. Specifically, on the mobile website I can see a map of my neighborhood and it is layered with dynamic points of interest, fires, wind patterns, and a heatmap. None of this is available on the mobile app, so to get this functionality I have to keep the mobile website open and come back to it, rendering the app a lot less useful. I would also make it easier to find the nearest air quality station by allowing the user to enter an address and have the search results show nearby air quality stations so that the user can select the station they prefer to monitor in the My Air section of the app. The AirVisual Earth feature is fantastic, very evocative: it is beautiful and compelling and disheartening at the same time to be able to see air quality around the world. Thank you AirVisual team for putting this tech and service out to the world for consumption, awareness, and perhaps even reflection.

This Healthpro Plus XE arrived the second day into of an asthma attack ~ my daughter's. She loves her cat and our house here because of circumstance has four. She is also allergic to almost every medication under the sun, has sensitive skin and is triggered by other inhalants, household, cleaners, detergents, etc. We'd slept with the windows open that night, as the temps went down to 31 just, so she could breathe. Our household air quality read : extremely harmful. We plugged the IQair unit, left to go for a country ride, then came back in . We have a strange layout to our house, but within the hour, the air quality was reduced to 17! MY DAUGHTER, FOR THE FIRST TIME, COULD BREATHE IN OUR OWN HOME!! And she continues to. The next day she was breathing easily again. I push this to the envelope. I pulled out the fantastic spray and used it right around her some bleach which I have to use for our special needs clients.. both of these are huge triggers for her. The smells were familiar and the panic set in. I have an S02 reader here. Her read was 100 still; she saw it. It was in that moment she had to begin to retrain her brain into understanding, not all smells will rob you up your breath anymore here. Thank you

I have lived in China for 3 years and have a two-year old boy. Once he was born I became more interested in what all the AQI apps actually did and started researching them. AirVisual is by far the best one I have come across (having used 10+ different apps). Not only can you choose to use the US index (which I would highly recommend) you also can see which pollutants are contaminating the atmosphere at any given time. I also have a laser egg (also highly recommended) which is a portable particulate counter and the readings on my mobile device and the closest monitoring station on the app are always within +/-20 meaning they are not contradicting each other. On other apps there would often times be a 50 point+ difference between what my particulate counter read and the other random apps I was using. Also, do note that some apps do, like airvisual, have the different pollutants listed and their levels but airvisual is the only app I have found that combines that with the ability to choose the US AQI standard. My go-to app when it comes to air pollution.

This free app can help you with information and forecasting of the air quality in your area. Since the 1970’s I’ve been personally interested in my home environment mainly because 3 of my family members, my husband & 2 children have hay fever in the Spring. We installed an electronic air filter in our furnace and air conditioning system which seemed to help immensely. Fat forward another 30+ years when we discovered the AirVisual app & their small device that could monitor our indoor air quality. Yes, using an AirVisual device is an easy way to monitor and improve your own air quality in your home. I discovered that NOT opening the windows to bring in a little fresh air was bad for us. Our carbon dioxide CO2 levels were getting in a higher range and causing headaches and lethargic behaviors. Being retired and at home most of the time, this became even more important to monitor our indoor AQI. Thank you AirVisual for providing the tools and information for a healthier lifestyle. 🥰

I updated my iOS and updated all software available then in the App Store three days ago. I tried running IQAir today for the first time since the update and it crashed. I checked for more App Store updates and IQAir released something in the last 3 days that was installed but still crashes into a zombie state on my phone. I have closed all apps, restarted my phone, tried just running IQAir and the splash screen shows then it: goes blank, disappears, returns me to my phone Home Screen, but is still running and needs to be tossed. Please try again to get it working with iOS 18.6.1 on the iPhone 15 Pro. Still not working a as of August 21 on 18.6.1, but found 18.6.2 was just released and when I installed that, this AirIQ app started working again. Maybe AirIQ 7.2.? had only been tested on iOS 18.6.2-beta when it was broken and released weeks earlier on 18.6.1. I recommend installing the U.S. EPA’s AirNow app also as an alternative option for times like this. It also has good day-by-day forecasting depending on the quality of science at your state’s environmental agency.

The Good: Air Visual lets you set a local AQ station as default, and on launch, displays current AQI reading plus 48hrs of detailed history and a week of daily averages. At the bottom of the page, there is a map that lets you scan AQ readings at stations within a ~15mile radius. To get this AQ map, or any local AQ info, on Weather Underground website requires a half dozen clicks to toggle on PM2.5 filter, and WU does not offer any AQ history data, so this functionality makes AirVisual well worth the download. The Bad: I had high hopes the AIrVisual AQ forecast feature would help me plan outdoor activity by predicting windows of good air during California fire season. My hopes were unfounded: it is the worst “predictive” weather tool I have ever encountered! It would appear AirVisual’s forecast tool is based on the assumption that daytime pollution will simply dissipate overnight. With most of the West Coast on fire, the question is how much new smoke prevailing winds are bringing our way, and AirVisual’s forecast feature is clearly not built to gauge this, whether by visual smoke imaging or by other means.

As someone living with asthma, the IQAir Visual App has become an essential part of my daily routine. The real-time air quality updates are accurate and easy to understand, which helps me avoid outdoor triggers like high PM2.5 and ozone levels. I also really appreciate the personalized health recommendations that appear with each reading—they’re clear, actionable, and make it easier to manage my symptoms. What really stands out is how intuitive the app is on my phone. The interface is clean and simple to navigate, even when I’m on the go. Whether I’m checking local air quality or planning travel, everything is just a few taps away. I’ve tried other apps, but this one balances depth of information with ease of use better than anything else I’ve found. Highly recommend for anyone with respiratory conditions.

This app continues to be very helpful for knowing the current AIR QUALITY in your location. Easy to use and read, great color coordinated layout to compare different areas air quality. It was very helpful for my family and I both during the 2017 Thomas Fire in California and today (September 2020) during this extremely difficult fire season across the West Coast. The app is able to consistently be updated and can show you hourly, daily, and weekly forecast and more. You can add many locations on the same page to compare. If you scroll down, it also shows you the PM level of pollutant in your area (worth learning about) and has guideline suggestions for your safety depending on the pollutant level in your area. I’m checking daily for forecast updates. Much appreciated and highly recommended. Thankful for this updated information.

This app has actually been super helpful during this horrendous California wildfire season. We have found ourselves checking the app several times a day and the information/numbers seem generally pretty accurate compared with our firsthand experience of air quality/smoke conditions. The information is presented in a clear and helpful format and everything usually works well. Two of the most helpful features have been the air quality projections for the coming hours and days, and the live smoke and wind-currents radar map. While we know the projected air quality numbers are not always accurate due to constantly changing wind and weather conditions, they can be very helpful in giving you some idea of how things are likely to be trending. They also seem to update frequently with the changing conditions, making the short term predictions generally pretty accurate, even if the longer term ones are not. In the air quality map section, be sure to tap on the small dark rectangle that says “Air Visual Earth” which brings up another map of the world that you can pinch-and-zoom-in to see a real time smoke and wind radar map. This app is much better than the other highly rated air quality app I tried. All in all, this app is excellent and very helpful.

Clean air wasn’t even on my radar a decade ago. Then I bought my first IQAir indoor monitor and discovered CO₂ — and suddenly the invisible world around me had numbers, patterns, warnings, meaning. I didn’t always know what to do with that information at first, but over time it changed the way I live. Now I keep windows open when I cook, I avoid torching food, and I’m more mindful about stepping outside on days when the air is rough. I live with a heavy smoker, so having real-time data has helped me navigate what I can control and protect my health where it counts. I know there’s still so much more to learn, but IQAir is part of what made me aware, curious, and proactive. Thank you for creating products for people who genuinely need them — and for giving the world tools to make cleaner, smarter choices.

Very good app if you can look past the business motivations in selling clean air filtering products targeting residential and business. Although the marketing practice is nicely balanced not to get in the way of providing data points on air quality. Very impressive area of coverages around the world. I’ve compared to a number of similar applications and this one seems to be top of the list. Clearly helped during the recent Oregon and the US West Coast fires. I would like to see lower cost in personal outdoor sensor solutions should one contribute to the broader world data base. Unclear how open the access is to the data base to contribute to new technical advances in different application/solution as a service. Suggestions: It would be great if one could group custom names for location areas such as (family, friends, business, ...). And being able to quickly view a group map would be nice. For sensors that are not available in a specific area - being able to group an average of a number of nearby sensors might be good to have that could be associated to custom group names. The use of the map could be better as performance is a bit sluggish - although to see an area at a glance is nice feature. Safe evacuation routes based on sensor data could be an interesting feature. In the world of COVID-19, perhaps using the similar app/service that this provides could be also as interesting. Especially when determining evacuation routes. Great job for a great service in judging air quality with a broad number of real-time sensors and satellite simulations to access the air we breath.

Very interesting to see the air quality details change within your home and learn the why behind the data. The iq air quality monitor makes this app even better by providing different recommendations to improve your specific indoor AQi and when necessary, recommendations for keeping outdoor air out by closing windows, etc. This app, however, provides far more information than the iq aqi monitor alone so have more information available to compare current aqi with historical trends as well as current aqi in other cities you may be considering for future travels. I’ve recently changed the destination of our summer vacation based on the aqi information provided for Indonesia. I don’t want to expose our child to the air pollution for such an extended period of time. It really is very enlightening information to have at your fingertips. I really wish the CA school systems actively used this data available on the app at the very least, and at best both the aqi monitoring devices with the app to make more informed decisions about outdoor activities and when its best to limit young children and sensitive students to indoor activities to avoid exposure to the outdoor air pollution when aqi data is highest indicating poor air quality. The aqi data monitor could also help schools assess individual school locations and any need for improved ventilation or air purification systems within specific schools and/or districts. Thank you for making this data publicly accessible for all! Air quality is so important and often an overlooked space when assessing cause and effect with concerning health issues. I think this information being public can only help encourage all countries to make improving air quality a priority. I hope more people start accessing and using this information to help guide their travels where the air is clean and safe for all, as well as encourage all of us to continue making efforts to improve our air quality and reduce air pollution starting with our own home energy usage. Please keep advancing research and technology! It is greatly appreciated!

It is only just beginning to seep into the public domain how catastrophically harmful poor quality air can be. It can irritate you, hurt your head and your heart, kill you or cause dementia. Checking air quality before engaging in outdoor work is vital especially in summer months. This is a simple but well-designed app that will display pollution levels and warnings for whichever monitoring stations you select. It can also provide notifications of changes in air quality. I have not yet come across intrusive tracking, data collection or advertising; it's not necessary to create an account to use it. I check it before working outside just as I check the (standard) weather forecast. Perhaps if we use products like these we'll come to see how we are, without exaggeration, poisoning ourselves. Highly recommended.

This company makes top-quality products. Even as I unpacked my new HEPA air purifier I could see at once how carefully it had been designed and built. The excellent design and performance of the purifier encouraged me to order their air-quality sensor a few days later, so I could really know what is going into my family’s lungs. I am more than impressed with the IQ Air sensor/monitor as well. It is these sensors, when they are installed outdoors, that provide the world-wide data (minus China) for the IQ air app. I am considering purchasing a second unit to install outdoors, so I too can provide air-quality data to help us all. But there happens to be one about a block away from where I live, so I am already receiving extremely local data from a device that I trust. Easy to give 5 stars here.

Every time you switch away from the app to write a text or answer a call or look at a different weather app, when you return to it, it crashes. Without this problem it’s excellent, but with it, the app is very frustrating, because obviously pollution levels are something you check throughout the day. Update: I wait to update to the current year’s version of iOS right up until the new iOS is released. Tonight after upgrading from 12.x to 13.7, I hoped the crashes on IQAir would improve. Instead they are much worse: the app is unusable now. You see an initial reading and any interaction at all crashes the app, as does no interaction but waiting about 5 seconds after opening.

I believe this app is more accurate than my weather app in providing AQ information. I’m sensitive to air quality. I noticed that on the weather app, often when air quality was described as moderate- about 75- when I opened the window my Alen air purifier light turned purple (very poor) in about 30 seconds. I felt tired and breathless while exercising outdoors. The IQ Air App tends to provide ratings that are similar to - or sometimes significantly lower than- other apps. The results of this app are more consistent with my air purifier sensors, and with how I feel spending time outside. I don’t know if it’s perfect, but it is far superior to other apps in helping me determine when it’s safe to open the windows or exercise outdoors.

This app provides important information about air quality in an easy to understand format. As someone with an impaired immune system, I appreciate knowing what precautions to take re: air quality on a given day. Two things that would make this app even better: 1. Either screen info providers for reliability/accuracy, or rate the quality of each provider’s data. For example, of the 10 readings shown for Washington DC, the AQI shown ranges from 8-130, with the rest showing AQIs between 28-54. Many measurements appear to come from anonymous sources, making it difficult to evaluate the degree to which those data should be relied upon. 2. The maps are difficult to move, despite using two fingers as required. Improving the responsiveness of the maps would make the app easier to use.

My family lives in Medical Lake, Washington. We are working very hard to be safe from COVID 19 because we have a very young child and a medically vulnerable adult among us. After the fires in the surrounding area, we became concerned about not only meetings with the public but simply walking out our door. We began monitoring the air quality through your wonderful App. It enabled us to act BEFORE the air quality changed from moderate to hazardous. We received an air quality alert through a different service at 5pm pacific time. Which was nearly around 10 hours after the air was already in health damaging levels. Today your App helped us feel the confidence we needed to open our doors and windows and take a breath of much needed FRESH air. THANK YOU for helping us to stay healthy.

Discovered this app a couple of months ago and find it very useful in evaluating air quality, ventilating my house, and considering how to improve air filtration in my house. With continuing fires and air pollution in N California, I have developed bronchial irritation and increased congestion (which closely tracks air quality conditions reported by air visual). I attribute the good info to lots of reporting stations in my area. Of particular interest is knowing when to ventilate my house (during periods of good air reported by air visual). Also, the app is helping me evaluate the performance of my whole house air filter system; my house filter helps but need improvement. As a result of the app's functionality, I'm considering buying a larger version of IQAir's home air purifier as an adjunct to my whole house filtering. I give a 4 star rating because there is always room for improvement.

Air Visual app gives me AQI for my location and where I’m headed. When AQI too high I do not want to stress my car either. App gives continental view and wind directions showing what changes in wind direction. Then I can plan ahead. I wish smoke did not return or hurt others this week. Looking at Air Visual app I can adjust and make safest plan possible. Right now I can still go outside with mask and C filter. Take a short walk. Plant a few seeds in the garden. Also gives me a world perspective, where the fires are. Says a lot about climate change. In September the smoke in Brazil and near them, covered four times the land area of our west coast fires and Smokey air. Also that Canada Alaska and Europe had relief. China did not.

Having the app and the indoor CO2 and a Q I am on it or has been life-changing. I never knew that I was getting so fatigued while working because the CO2 levels would get so high. I just thought I was getting tired. Now I track CO2 levels and circulate the air much more in my house and feel more focused and less fatigued. It’s also been great during fire season because, when hooked up to Wi-Fi, the monitor tells me the AQI outdoors for a sensor less than a mile away from me, and there are so many sensors throughout the city I can choose from. So I know if it’s safe to open my windows or not. The app gives me notifications for when my indoor air quality gets to pour and it’s really helped me feel fresher in my home. So grateful!

Ever since I had pneumonia, I check before I hang out outside and it’s helped a lot... this app has a location reader closer to where I live than any other app, sometimes I have found the air quality isn’t great even though it says it’s OK on the app (I have really sensitive lungs at the moment and environment really affects them) but generally it seems to be pretty accurate... and I like that there’s weather attached to it. I do wish there was a reading a little bit closer to where I am, but the main thing I wish they would change is the app image. Especially during the pandemic, I hate seeing an icon of someone with a mask on every time I go to check the air quality, just kind of depressing... it would be great if it were changed to a more positive image! We could all use more of that!

The app is so helpful as a quick reference to the air quality outside. I don’t have to guess and I know the reading is legitimate and accurate. In London, pollution is a major concern and exacerbates respiratory issues especially for children. I use AirVisual as a guide to determine when I turn on the air purifier for my infant son. The monitoring station is close to where I live so I am getting information that is up-to-date and relevant to the particular area where I live. My next step is to purchase one of the AirVisual monitors so I may see the readings in my own home as well as contribute data to the community. The app is very informative, giving you the basic or in depth information whichever you may prefer. Keep up the good work!

I learned about this app the other day when all the Canadian wildfire smoke was in our area and I didn’t realize how much of an issue it was going to cause me. I live in an area that normally has little to no pollution, so for me to experience such a change, where my asthma got so bad and I needed to bring the air purifier out, it was quite alarming. This app I learned about online after realizing I wasn’t sick, but rather having a reaction to all the pollution. It really helps me know when the air quality is down and when I need to be extra careful. It’s better than the Weather Channel that never mentioned there being an air quality alert on the worst day here.

This has been a great app to plan daily activities here in California with all of the recent fires and smoke. The large number of reporting stations reveal where the smoke clouds are drifting. I have actually been able to plan bike ride routes and outdoor activities to areas of better air quality. I also bought one of their personal air quality measurement units for my house. It is interesting to note that AQI does not always match what appears to the eye... sometimes the air appears clearer but is still unhealthful. The large number of reporting sites in their network provides a lot more information that is available on other websites.

I’ve found a number of sources to test my air quality. AirNow doesn’t have as many local sensors, so it’s best for a general idea and for ozone levels, which some don’t display. My favorite for local particle readings now is PurpleAir, which has local sensors and you can add your own, similar to Weather Underground, and you can even integrate with their site. AirNow has the unique feature of displaying overall air quality from your device home page as if it’s the number of notifications you’ve missed. Took me a minute. Now I have my general idea of air quality at a glance. Good for those of us opening and closing windows, turning on and off air filters, or wearing masks to exercise outdoors. Thanks for a stable app. Build those sensor numbers.

Being in northern CA…a priority due to smoke environment , Intense temperatures … constant indoor air recycled adding a burden to HVAC cooling . The IQ app allows us access to our home 3200 sq AIR environment … the equipment is key under the conditions we are facing. WE TURN ON … and it is quiet … designed to be clean intrusive appearance… and during the first year of fire smoke literally engulfing the neighborhood ! WE HAD A CLEAN Sanctuary, which we even invited our neighbors with respiratory problems spend some time while the environment slowly cleared. GOOD Tools cost yes … but are well worth an expense when you consider your health … your interior property remaining clean and that this actually works !!!

I downloaded this app to help with day-to-day decisions and vacation plans. I thankfully was able to cancel plans to head to an area with +400 AQI and went somewhere with 50 AQI instead. Having asthma, this is helpful to see if I should spend time outside or not. Some days I can tell visually or by smell if it’s a no-go kind of day, but sometimes it’s not obvious but I don’t want to aggravate my asthma. I like the color indicator, and the person icons that are a fast and easy way to see how things are in different areas. This is definitely reinforcing my plans to move abroad for better air quality.

You have made it possible for me to monitor air quality along the west coast during this horrific fire season. I live in Kentucky but have relatives in Washington and California as well as friends in Oregon. It may seem a small thing but it has meant a lot for me to be able to say to them “I see you are going to need to stay indoors today” or “your air quality will be better in two days so hang in there” instead of always asking “how bad is it?” I could demonstrate that I cared by knowing their situation and expressing empathy rather than pelting them with repeated questions. Compassion and empathy are so much better than questions when one is under duress!

I live in Northern CA where we call Autumn “fire season” and not because the leaves look like fire. This year was better where I live than past years but you can’t always tell right away when the air is bad or if it has become more dangerous. This app warns you (if you let it) when the air quality has changed, good or bad, and uses a lot of different data from many sensors around the area including privately owned and EPA etc. that give a much better reading in the micro climate air. It’s very easy to use as well. I highly recommend getting this app to keep track of the air quality where ever you go.

I spend a couple of months every year in northeast rural Thailand visiting my wonderful Thai in-laws. AirVisual's coverage of Thailand is excellent and helps guide me in taking antihistamines and using an inhaler when the sugar cane farmers are burning their crops. They do this prior to harvesting the sugar cane before they sell their sugar cane to the processing plants. Although the Thai government is actively encouraging the farmers to adopt different methods to improve air quality, the burn method quickly and efficiently prepares the sugar cane for harvesting. Consequently, change is slow. Beyond Thailand, I appreciate AirVisual's accurate air quality measurements and the ability to make a list of cities to monitor air quality.

This App is indispensable during the ever expanding California fire season. With so much smoke generated by the fires, the air quality is often in the hazardous range. The extra-fine particles in the air are extremely damaging as they can actually enter the blood stream if inhaled. This App helps us monitor the highly variable air quality which can change drastically throughout the day and it tells us when to stay in and when it is safe to venture outside. With its many local location readings, we receive up-to-date real-time information for our neighborhood 24/7.

I started using AirVisual during the November 2018 California fires. Now that the smoke has (mostly) cleared, I will keep using it. AirVisual not only tells you what the Air Quality Index (AQI) in your area is but also provides detailed information on what an AQI is and how it’s measured. The app provides both local and global (via a 3D globe) views of how our air is doing. It provides a ranked list of major cities based on air quality (thankfully San Francisco is now down to 68 ... during the intense smoke from the fires it was up near the top 10 of worst places to breathe), news articles on air quality and resources. And there is more! Highly recommended.

Where I live on the East Coast is greatly affecting the air quality by the fires. This app has a map and you can see where the fires are located. I’m a map person and couldn’t find by searching for it. Plus it’s free. I’m going to look in to their air filters as we have allergies to pretty much everything outside and daughter has asthma. Looks like an interesting house unit that gets small particles my regular house unit won’t filter out. My 7 small air cleaning units inside my small house aren’t doing the job and they take up room on the floor.

Easy to use, nice UI, and great, accurate info. There are a lot of apps for aqi info, but this has become my go-to app. Seems accurate with up to date data that’s accessible and easy to read and use. The devices they sell are cool, too. The devices even integrate with hundreds of other things with IFTTT! My only wish is I hope they make the aggregated data and the news-like info they have in the app available for IFTTT, too — then it would work alongside the device-specific integration data they have if you own a device and the aggregate data wouldn’t be so locked up in this app.

What else can 2020 bring?? This app has honestly been such a good source for the AQI. A trusted resource that most use, gives you hour by hour updates of anywhere in the world pretty much. The graphics are easy to understand and the app is simple to navigate. The fires here on the west coast are insane, but I’m thankful of how educated I am becoming because of this app and the circumstances I’m in. Moving forward I will be using this app, even after the fires have passed and the air quality improved. It’s very important to me now that ever before to have knowledge of the quality of air I breathe.

This app has been incredibly helpful for our family. We have 3 people in our family with asthma, one of which has severe asthma. This app helps us to know when they are safe to play outside and when going to the museum or the mall would be a better idea. We live in the Rocky Mountains, so, the smoke can get pretty intense here during the summer, which makes us use the app multiple times a day. The only problem for us is that we live in the mountains so the air quality is different here (usually worse) than it is where the air quality monitor is. The closest monitor is 30-45 minutes from where we live. Other than that, we love this app!

Well, even if the air is not as clear as we would like, I live a short distance from the Carr fire in northern CA, this app really helps to let us know the current air quality as well as the weather. When I first starting using the app I was unaware of all the GREAT features that were at my fingertips. Wow, it is like having my own weather station right in our home. From current weather for this days activities to predicting what we can expect later in the week. It is a wonderful tool that helps us make plans for all our outdoor activities. Thank u developers for a wonderful app. The Ryals family😁

More info is much better than less info to make an informed decision to expose yourself to harmful pollutants. Certain ill informed so called Educators working against the free flow of info do us all a disservice. I very much doubt air visual would try to manipulate data to sell products. You don’t need a degree to step Outside and see the acrid air. Is too bad Vietnam has let special interest override people’s health. This app and the info is critical. I am moving because the govt is not doing anything to stop pollution and the Vietnamese people are literally choking to death. Thanks Mr Vu Khac Ngoc for being small minded and limiting available info.

Having this app allow me to know what’s going on with the air outside makes me super aware and careful of what’s also going on inside. It helps me know when to use my air purifiers and went to stay Away from the outside we had a major California fire blow through it in my hometown and the smoke put us in toxic levels and I don’t know what I would do without this app to keep me safe. It absolutely has gotten my headaches back under control I was so miserable every day in so much pain I recommend it for anyone that suffers or knows anyone in their family that suffers from any type of breathing issue

This app is so easy to configure and navigate through and provides so much valuable information. We are extremely polluted right now in the San Francisco Bay area because of the wildfires. With the single glance on the map display we can see how our relatives are doing in Grass Valley California and how things are in San Francisco and Palo Alto and anywhere else for that matter by simply zooming and scrolling.. With the favorite places page I can see details on cities I have selected with seven day forecast if I want. Right now severe pollution in San Francisco is still basically just the equivalent of a not too bad day in New Delhi!

I am a senior at 69. Poor air quality stuffs up my head and lungs. This past week, with the wildfires down in Washington State (Sept 2020) smoke has made it’s way into British Columbia here in Canada. We had planned an outing for the afternoon. On checking the AirVisuals with this app,we saw that the place with the most smoke and very poor air quality was where we had planned to go. Gas and driving time saved. As the day went on I could see on the map that the smoke shifted to different areas in our community, so we stayed inside to be safe. This app is invaluable, and the map is very cool too.

Such a great tool to take care of yourself and your loved ones, now a staple in my travel apps. Thank you!

Vraiment pratique et les résultats concordent qu’avec ce que disent les autres service météo

Great app, very appreciated. But can we get a small widget to put on our homescreen that shows the current air quality for our current location?

A helpful app and nicely designed but it needs a small widget!

Depuis peu je suis asthmatique à 70 ans et se la recommandation de mon fils je vérifie votre site avant d’aller prendre mon café dehors vous êtes hyper utile dans ma vie merci

Since I’m sensitive to smoke, I check the local air quality every morning to decide whether to exercise outdoors or wear a mask when I go out, no matter where I am. Very helpful.

An excellent help to guide your outdoor activities and protect your health during the low air quality that we see occurring more often in 2025.

Simplicité et efficacité

I use this app everywhere I go. It’s an accurate current and predictor of air quality and what I can expect to happen. I need this information to determine my activities and medication requirements based on the air quality.

Struggling with asthma after a severe respiratory infection, and was noticing certain times when my discomfort and symptoms would peak. This app really helped me match up many of my flares with deteriorating air quality.

Perfect to find out if jogging is safe today!

Peace of mind:)

Highly recommend this app. As accurate as it gets.

A great app to help decide where to live

I have respiratory issues. Since the fires in Alberta began in may, I have been struggling to breathe. I live in Ontario. I wasn’t aware that I was being affected by the smoke and haze. I thought it was just cloudy. It doesn’t seem to affect everyone so badly, but I am susceptible to respiratory issues so I really notice the impacts of poor air quality. the environment canada weather app said air quality was moderate, (something I’ve seen before,) so I didn’t understand why I felt so bad. I wasn’t aware that the “haze” was smoke. This app is much more detailed and comprehensive than environment Canada’s air quality rating system. Environment Canada’s rating system for air quality is basically akin to saying “it’s hot out”. What I really need to know is details, perspective , and this app gives me that. the kind of detail and granularity to air pollution, to understand what it is, where it’s coming from, and it’s impacts. To know…. how bad is bad? I also was not aware that the pollution was affecting my moods as well as my breathing. Being able to track and understand air pollution better is a great benefit, for managing health and well being. I will recommend it to others.

If it comes to just wanting to walk outside or if you’re wondering if your throat will be itchy after a day outside: this app is a great tool for that and peace of mind; great upsell is getting the indoor and outdoor modules.

Très bonne application !

It great that the IQAir app uses a standard scale so that you can compare across different countries.

Pertinent et facile à utiliser

Great detail

I find it so helpful to wake up and know the aqi so I can make an informed choice about whether it’s healthier to exercise indoors or if outdoors is a possibility

Accurate, easy-to-use app with real-time global air quality data. Essential for tracking pollution and making healthier daily decisions.

Great tool for travel.

I plan my travel destinations throughout SE Asia based on this App. The App is not only just a simple guide but also a valuable tool to navigate our world which is changing quickly, hence the Intelligent App tag.

Honestly the best app I’ve used to track air quality around the world

Pleased with the monitor—would recommend to anyone considering buying one. The only thing i thought was weird was the set up where establishing the location on the device is/was the most complicated part of the process

Plugged this unit in and it cleared up the air within 2 hours! Highly recommend!

很好用，强力推荐！

Rất Oke

Seems to work well and easy to use.

Very helpful or outdoorsy

Very accurate and timely updates

Nice little app to tell you when you need your mask and when not.

Les données semblent fiables en comparant avec MétéoCan (environnement Canada) et BreezeOMeter. It seems accurate in comparaison with MeteoCan and BreezeOMeter. J’aime particulièrement la carte avec les données et les feux et celle illustrant la qualité de l’air et les vents. I love the map with data and fires and this with air quality and wind.

Very useful

Good app. Pretty accurate; worked in different cities

Very useful to see quickly air quality everywhere.

Quick and accurate!

Accurate information for my area. Very pleased.

Fantastic information

This app validates and explains my struggles with air quality my husband doesn’t experience. I have chronic health issues and am affected by smoke or pollution so easily. This app is validating and detailed, giving warning information that environment Canada doesn’t bother with. This enables us to make informed choices for our days. Thank you!!!

The air quality was bad today and it helped me and my family breathe better

It is really helpful app especially when it notifies you when local air quality is improving or deteriorating. Also, I like the advice it gives when and when not to workout, close windows and wear a mask.

Nice visual and just the right amount of information

I’be been a long time fan, and still am, of IQAir’s air purifiers. In fact, I own 4 of them. I was deeply disturbed when I waited exactly 48 hours into the East Palestine Ohio train derailment that happened a few months back. I thought to myself, what a great way to finally see if this app is reporting real accurate data. In an effort to give IQAir the benefit of the doubt, I waited the extra 48 hours in hopes the app would have either picked this tragic event up on national news or actually report real data. To my dismay, IQAir reported “GREEN LIGHT” next to which was a photo of a man on a bicycle stating great air quality to go for a bicycle ride. WOW. Really? The entire city has been EVACUATED and animals are being found DEAD on the ground but according to IQAir, the air quality is GREAT! What’s more disheartening is my review (same as this one) posted at the time was never approved and didn’t show up. I wouldn’t be surprised if this one doesn’t show up either. Sorry, IQAir. I’d love nothing more than to report 5 stars for you but you can’t cheat people like this especially when this information is used for people’s health. Shame.

While current local condition air quality seemed accurate, the forecast data, even just a few hours ahead, was completely wrong. I live in Oregon and we had horrible air quality last summer, in the unhealthy range repeatedly, even crossing into hazardous at times. With many wildfires burning across our region, we are all jumpy in fear of a repeat. For some reason, despite consistently good air this year, the app predicts unhealthy air 4 hours in the future every single day. During the first week I cancelled a number of recreational and outdoor activity plans based on these predictions. I am especially peeved about one of these cancellations, something that I really wanted to do and lost some reservation money. I followed the site for another week—same thing every day. I know air patterns and fire conditions can change rapidly but AirVisual was never correct. The forecast ability was the main draw for me so I deleted AirVisual and swapped it out for an app with a very simple design, just current AQ numbers in bubbles on a map, easy to navigate around a region.

I use this app to help prepare for bad air conditions, since I live in the PNW and the wildfire smoke aggravates my asthma. The statistical information and maps are really interesting and informative and the app itself is easy to use, but now I'm concerned that the information I'm getting is not accurate. There is currently an air advisory due to smoke in my area. For some reason, this app is insisting that the AQI is "Good" despite the fact that I can actually see pollution in the air. I'm not sure if this is really the app's fault or the fault of wherever the information is being sourced from, but regardless, I don't think I can rely on the information I'm being given to help me make informed decisions about my health anymore. It's unfortunate since I was really excited to find an app like this in the first place. If you decide to download it anyway, please be cautious and don't use it as your only source of information.

I live in South Korea and have for a total of 5 years, spread out over the last decade in a 3 year stay and now 2 years into a 5 year stay, in that time the air quality here has gotten much much worse. I was recently diagnosed with asthma (something that is apparently becoming more common for people in Seoul) and have to check the air quality regularly. If it's above 100 aqi I have to wear a special filter mask to leave the house. I got this app to make it easier to check the AQI regularly, one of the big draws for this app is it notifies me if the AQI goes above 100, or it's supposed to. Yesterday it never dropped below 100 and I never got a notification (thankfully I'd had the thought to check online before leaving the house) and upon checking the app it said an AQI of 63 when it was really 163. If you're relying on this app for all your AQI information and live in a city with poor air quality such as Seoul you may be putting your health at risk by relying on this app.

This app is useful because it has daily notifications and a widget. I use this app to check the air quality in Korea. But the number that this app reports is almost always higher than the Naver number, which is probably most correct in Korea. If it’s :( unhealthy on AirVisual, it’s just :/ not good on Naver. or if it’s :/ not good on AirVisual, it’s :| ok on Naver. It can be good to be cautious though! The worst part about this app is the UI. Swiping from the left never works to go back to the previous screen so I have to move my hand and push the back button in the top left corner. So annoying! There are a lot of menus on the bottom that I never click on like a map, a world ranking, and other not-that-useful stuff. Overall, it’s not that nice to look at and a bit frustrating to navigate. So I give 3 stars.

If you have an air iq, which I just bought. This app is pretty terrible. It has HUGE gaps in the reporting. For example I have my device on all day. And the graph for “daily” report only shows info for 10am-2pm then a huge gap of no data, and then more reporting from 5pm-11pm, then a huge gap again between 11pm-2am. It’s completely random each day with times it will decide not to record info. The decide itself shows what happened over the last 24 hours fine. But the app shows these huge gaps which makes it useless since you can’t look back at history on the device itself beyond a day. So this problem with the app makes in unusable and also severely damaged the usability of the device too since you can’t access historical data beyond a day. This makes testing in a bad air home almost impossible to see if you are making any progress or not. For a $300 device, the app should work flawlessly with it.

I used the app for a couple of days and was pleased with the ease-of-use and the number of places I could monitor at a glance. More importantly, the app utilized different monitoring stations than the epa website, so it didn’t seem redundant. And, always a sucker for something pretty, its slick appearance appealed to me Then one day I was at work and the smoke kept rolling in, soon obscuring the view of a nearby butte, yet the app’s AQI number read 187, pretty much in the same range it had been for a number of hours. Finally, after I finished my work project, I checked 2 other monitoring sites and the AQI was actually over 400! Maybe it was a glitch with a particular monitoring station? Maybe this really is a great app??? In that moment I was disappointed, felt like got a false sense of security counting on the app so I deleted it.

This app is usually great. At a glance I can see how air quality is trending across my region, which is so helpful for smoke season in Washington State. However, they seem to have just added a feature where it shows “air quality alerts” for each place that has one on the map. Since that is literally every municipality in my state, I can no longer just open the app to the map and see what the levels are like, because the actual AQI bubbles are annoyingly blocked by the alerts unless I zoom in a lot. This so so unhelpful, I know that the AQI is bad already and I do not care if every city has issued an alert (which means nothing, it’s not like it changed the aqi). Please allow users to turn off the AQI alerts so they no longer visually block the data from the air quality sensors.

When I first downloaded this app it could show wind currents and offered to alert me when the AQI was over 30 and under 25- as someone who is sensitive to smog particles this was worth investing in until I actually used it for a week, I no longer can see the air currents to tell the directions air toxicity is coming from, Nor do the alerts warn me when the AQI is above 30, instead the only alert I receive is WHEN ITS NORMAL, imagine that? This makes it useless to defend yourself from toxic air- just a cute data drainer don’t download this app or purchase the 276$ equipment to join in like I was planning to do until this app can’t fulfill its own basic functions. I deleted my account and decided to buy a dyson air purifier/ionizer instead- tl;dr this app will notify you only AFTER you have ingested toxic air. Fix your map. Fix your notifications

I've relied on this app since mid-2020 but now I need to find another to use. It used to work better and be more accurate than it is now. It seems like they use user-generated data to report AQI now and it's rarely accurate. On days when I can distinctly smell wildfire smoke all day long and see a haze, the app reports good AQI, probably because Johnny down the street has a monitor set up inside and is providing inaccurate data to IQAir. Also, how is it possible that the AQI is "good" on my street and "unhealthy" two streets over? It's these kind of inaccuracies from their new data-generation system that have me searching for a new AQI app.

They track you across apps and the web. Do you really trust a company that does that? See the App Privacy section of their App Store page for details.

I no longer have access to my IQ air app because you are forcing people in China to download the Chinese version. However, for people like me with an app store outside of China, I cannot download the new China app and I can no longer have access to the international app based on my China location. Please fix this asap.

Great weather app — clean design and accurate forecasts! However, there seems to be a small bug: the Apple Watch widget background is black, which makes the text hard to read.
