Air Quality App - BreezoMeter Positive Reviews
Extremely helpful during wildfire seasonI rely on this app to help determine the air quality around me - especially during the summer when there are wildfires all around and smoke drifting into my area. The map helps me decide if I can open my windows to sleep at night or if it’s just too yucky outside..BbhgfhjryvjjfgVersion: 5.12.0
Great design, slow and a pain to useDownloaded this app since the stock weather app sources its data from it. I like how everything is laid out, the map which shows air quality around the globe, and the details of what’s in the air. However, the app is extremely slow to start, lags out a lot, and is generally unpleasant to use due to either loading or lack of optimization. I’m not on an old phone either (11 Pro Max), so it shouldn’t really perform this poorly.
I’ll come back to it when the performance issues are fixed..BlackShredGoldVersion: 4.0.0
Super Helpful // A Daily AppHuge 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..WillyB_COVersion: 2.0.2
Helpful app for someone with asthma!Although it’s pretty easy to take a look outside and see what the air quality is (or check the news), how bad is it really? This app aggregates all that information into one place! The interface is easy to use and aesthetically please! Highly recommend!.B3cc4j3nnVersion: 3.4.2
Nice appSo I got the app because I noticed that Apples weather app uses it to get air quality data, but for some reason the weather app shows a different result, so figured this app was more accurate.
I only gave it 4 stars because it would be nice to have a widget. One that shows both the air quality and pollen levels..PayohteeVersion: 5.9.1
Never would have considered..I never would have thought to download an ap like this one, it’s insanely helpful, a bit scary when the quality drops but honestly that’s good to know so I can take the precautions I need to stay safe..RopendactalusVersion: 4.0.0
Love it, but looking forward to more featuresThis app has been really helpful in monitoring my local pollen forecast. I wish it had better widgets focused on displaying Pollen information so I can see that information at a glance instead of going into the app or receiving notifications..MikeG222Version: 5.5.0
Great ApplicationThe „Map View“ is really awesome. Suggestion is to be able to move around the „cards“ and be able to launch the app with this view to not have to click anything.AaronSky999Version: 3.5.3
Pollen readings totally wrongThe air quality forecast for my area is accurate but the pollen forecast is extremely inaccurate. The past 2 days, you could see pollen clouds in the air and you could even taste the pollen. The app shows tree pollen: 2 out of 5, grass pollen: 1 out of 5. Sensio Air shows 10 out of 10 and AirCare says 400 on the readings, which is about 7.5 out of 10..Pxxtxn thxyxrVersion: 5.5.0
Widget is brokenGreat app but widget needs work. First of all, it doesn’t work if you set location settings to “while using the app” which you should absolutely do for privacy. Secondly, it uses BreezoMeter air quality index ignoring in-app settings. Thirdly, it’s an old iOS style widget that need to be modernized for new versions.
For now I’m using AirVisual widget instead..IManyakVersion: 4.1.0
Now I get itOriginally 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..Jasmyn KelleyVersion: 2.1.0
Was great until fire tracker removedInitially this was a great app for tracking 2021 forest fires and smoke plumes. Then when my area began experiencing excellent air quality the app began reporting very poor air quality. There is simply no way the numbers are correct now. Checked with several other sources and Breezometer is currently wrong. Deleting it..Cat mommieVersion: 4.0.0
Great AppI use this app frequently and now purchasing has been fixed it’s even better!!! I’m so excited to be able to use this app again! 10/10 highly recommend!.Little LightsVersion: 3.3.1
It was fine until last week’s update.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!._h_gVersion: 3.5.0
It Works!The fires here in California have made the air quality very poor.
Only this app properly reflected this fact, while many others that claimed to report air quality have not accurately done so..Elwood BunekVersion: 3.4.2
Get it now!I used this app in the East Bay to find better air to breath in California and to find evacuation routes when it seemed like the whole state was aflame within 48 hours. I have breathing issues and I would not be without it!.MoxieannVersion: 3.3.2
Great app and updateI love it. And even without Premium, thr fact that it gives the primary pollutants, hourly forecast, and fires and their names and size and so many others!! Love it..Ecosia UserVersion: 5.6.0
Accurate AQI dataFast response and accurate comparable with the data you can get from internet..ChangusaVersion: 4.0.0
Incredibly HelpfulUseful tool. Have used it to track west coast fires. As I travel across the country it helped me avoid certain routes that had unhealthy smoke..Ciao id pi ciaoVersion: 3.6.2 (1)
Awesome appGreat resource for tracking and forecasting local air quality. Especially helpful for athletes who are impacted by air quality issues..T.W.RobbVersion: 3.6.1+2
Good appCombines the levels of pollutants into one number. The reading seems to make sense. For example, the reading is higher (better) after rain and lower on a smoggy winter day in Salt Lake City.Markhl2Version: 1.5
Good app but location tracking needs to be looked atI think this is a very good app although my only complaint is that when it accesses my location, it thinks I'm in one place when I'm somewhere else..Morgan DouglasVersion: 1.5
Bring back the elephant!I miss the elephant’s nose, when you’re dealing with poor air quality like we are here in Missoula, Montana, the elephant made me a little happier….Zoo406!!Version: 5.9.1

BreezoMeterEnjoy the app. Accurate and useful.Tj06aVersion: 5.12.0
Missing Quality-of-Life Features when Typing in the Location FieldI would like to see these quality of life features:
Being able to select text in the Location Field by double taping + having the option to increase/decrease the sides by moving them using your finger and by having “Select” and “Select All” buttons that pop up whenever you double tap. Tapping anywhere outside the Location Field should remove the select text box.
Moving the cursor to a different spot in the location field by tapping with your finger.
I also have a question: Are activities like cutting cement taken into account when updating the air quality meter?.BlackBl00dLionVersion: 4.0.0

Air Quality App - BreezoMeter Negative Reviews
Bad information from slick visualsThe app is nice to use but it has serious problems in the presented data. First, it’s visuals don’t correspond to air quality data from real measuring points. AirVisual IQAir has real data that you can trust. Second, it doesn’t have air quality at the resolution it presents. Because of this, it glosses over sources of smog and pollution giving the false impression that the air quality is fine beside that coal power plant. Lastly, I’m suspicious that it gets air quality data from satellites, which cannot measure smoke pollution from PM2.5. In the end, this app gives bad information on air quality and suggests that air quality is more healthy that it is, which is highly problematic. Not recommended..BailrooVersion: 5.10.0
Highly questionable dataUPDATE: 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..Laszlo PanaflexVersion: 3.4.1
Access to the entire photo app on my iPhone.When I tapped the little symbol on the base of the elephant, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that this app included the entire contents of my iPhone photo app, and suggested that I pick a photo to personalize (I guess the gauge)! I immediately emailed the app and asked why in the world they needed access to my pictures and how they got them since I’d never agree to allow that. It’s been over a week and I haven’t gotten a reply, so I just deleted the app but still don’t know what they did with my photos and how and why they got them. Press that little thing on the elephant and see if they have yours !!!.Willyouhelp?Version: 4.0.0
InaccurateI originally downloaded this app because it was affiliated with the iOS Weather app and looks nice. I’ve since used Breezometer for a year now and paid $12 for premium even though I don’t know what the added benefits were. The AQI readings are inconsistent. I’ve found other apps that are free and more accurate and have more features like air quality forecasting and helpful health recommendations. Their core and most accurate feature is an air quality map of the whole world which I imagine is already publicly available data?.Annie9274839Version: 5.10.0
Broke for small screensCan’t get past Terms of Service Agreement splash page. Seems to be caused by app update. It worked on this device a few months ago. Splash page extends past bottom of screen. If there is a button that needs to be cocked to proceed it is not visible on screen. Report a Problem in Apple App Store will not allow me to report quality issue for this app (maybe because it was free and there is no receipt?). Developer site does not have obvious place to submit support issues- only generic Contact Us asking for PII. So here’s a bad review as option of last resort.ArduousVersion: 5.8.0
Not ReallyThis 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..FunkldredVersion: 1.5
Not accurate for MiamiThis app is not accurate in regards to the air quality in Miami. I’m allergic/ sensitive to dust and mold and often feel congested by time particles in the air. I often look on WebMD and it shows high mold and dust in the air. I know this is accurate because I feel it and have allergies. Yet, I look at Breezometer and it says the air quality is great. Obviously this app does not track mold counts or dust which is usually very high in Miami from the Saharan dust. Very misleading..Gothic_MiamiVersion: 5.12.0
Inaccurate readingsI’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!.Scrantonicity- Electric CityVersion: 3.4.1
Not AccurateI 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..Meechelle MVersion: 2.1.0
Limited DataNo pollen information available outside the contiguous 48 states, so only partly useful. Also picked an odd default location downtown and reported an unhealthy reading as being the ‘same as usual.’ The wider area is being affected by wildfires right now so it’s definitely bad. But outside of fire season most of the city has very healthy air quality. So it’s not the ‘same as usual’ for most people in the area..BraveorchidVersion: 5.6.0
Shows ad after I paid for subscriptionI paid for an annual subscription but most of the time they show me ads anyway. Also they keep asking me to allow cross platform tracking. They also refuse to accept “only when using “ location services and keep asking me to set it “always on”. More than once it got my location wrong by 30 miles anyway. Worst app I have used in a long time!.DarkFaerieQueenVersion: 5.9.1
OK if you live near an air monitorI 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..AmyxandraVersion: 3.3.2
Dangerously inaccurateThe 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..Pfed1Version: 3.1.3
Great idea but not making itLove 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!.SunadanceVersion: 1.5
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..LaurenAPMTVersion: 1.5
Used to be good, now it doesn't workBelow i will paste what i was going to email to the dev. BUT their web form REQUIRES to sign up for their newsletter in order to contact them. what? no thanks.
my note to the dev:
i've been using the ios app for a year or so, but a recent update has bricked it. when i open the app, i get the "Welcome to Breezemaster" screen. it wants me to check the TOS and PP checkbox. i can do so, and the image darkens, but that's it. i cannot navigate or do anything else.
scrolling, swiping, and "clicking" do nothing. i can touch the TOS and PP links and they do lead me to those respective pages, but nothing else. it's been like this for the last 2 updates for me..Zimv20Version: 5.9.1
No 12 hour forecast as promoted?I specifically purchased the app for an easily accessible 12 hour forecast, as was promoted. The paid version still only has the 5 hour forecast which is available for free. No response to questions sent 2 ways. Have requested $ back. Pretty sure I won’t get it since they haven’t responded to question about 12 hour forecast..LoiuseShVersion: 4.0.0
No supportI paid the subscription for the premium function and have loved using the app to manage when I exercise outside. However, lately the premium function does not work, despite me having paid for it, and I cannot get any response from the developer. None. Nada..Download it hahaVersion: 5.12.0
Keeps nagging me for my locations serviceThis 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..Danmuel JacksonVersion: 2.0
It’s okIt’s an ok app. Looks scientific but it seems to lag in changes in air quality. And recently, ARGH. Full screen ads! I have HUGE problem with apps that bully users into paying by inundating users with annoying ads. What’s next—ads with sounds?! I’m Uninstalling before that happens..Code3bankerVersion: 4.8.0
Changing Current LocationYour “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..KoskiwVersion: 2.0.2
Pretty but inaccurateWildly 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..Sloane KVersion: 2.1.0
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..IpatgoVersion: 2.1.0
It’s gone downhillI’ve used this app for se real years. It’s a handy tool to have when you experience fire season. This latest update sucks though. I miss it when it used to actually have the elephant that would point to the air quality level. It’s very glitchy. My app displays air quality of 1 but in another screen it says 81..SugarberrymlpVersion: 3.5.0
