1. [R3] 5/5 · US Accurate: Great to know what to expect allergy wise before going out
2. [R8] 5/5 · US Great Resource!!!: Great way to keep up with allergies and plan out a course of action for the day!!!
3. [R13] 5/5 · US Love this APP: So helpful and accurate!!
4. [R16] 5/5 · US Seasonal allergies: This app makes my daily activities easy to plan because I plan all my activities around what the pollen levels are if they’re low then I do a lot more outdoor stuff if it’s high, I usually do more indoor stuff
5. [R7] 5/5 · US Love it!!!: I like this and this helps so much with my allergies it also reminds me to take my meds thank you very much for this.
6. [R33] 4/5 · US Just Amazing!!: I got this app just hoping to have something to check to see the pollens, but I was gladly surprised to see an allergy tracker, and even after my second month it showed me what I was most allergic to, based on my entries. Many thanks to the makers of this app! One thing I might suggest is to have a little more statistics? I find I would like a little more than ‘med-high’ to rank t
7. [R44] 5/5 · US Helps me keep track: I love knowing exactly which allergens are in bloom and the feature that shows me a picture of the culprit allergen if it’s available. The diary feature that helps me to know which allergens I need to prepare for year after year. The forecast is nice too. I have had this app for a few years and it’s one of the better apps on my phone.
8. [R69] 5/5 · US Helpful: Very helpful to determine what I’m allergic to.
9. [R2] 3/5 · US Notifications have basically zero info: Springtime in Florida. Everyday I get a notification “pollen count is high”. No info on the main pollen contributor, you have to open the app for that. Instead of writing “open the app”, why not list the dominant pollen type? People know you can open the app, no need for a daily reminder of that. Also: we had major rain storms the other day. And yet the ap
10. [R34] 3/5 · US Need Pollen Count on Website !!!: The website is good BUT it should give the Pollen Count for your location each time you log on. I used to receive daily pollen count notifications when the pollen reached a certain level. The app no longer does that. Why not ???
11. [R242] 3/5 · US Great App: The UI is very nice and push notifications inform me of the pollen conditions tomorrow.
12. [R14] 5/5 · US So helpful: This app is so simple & helpful. How high the pollen is & what the highest pollen is from. Excellent!
13. [R61] 5/5 · US Pollen Count: Very easy to use and understand. Photos of the pollutants very useful.
14. [R226] 3/5 · US Simple App, but it works: This App works well but it could offer more information on active allergens and more area resolution, weather related, on pollen status.
15. [R1] 1/5 · US Useless: This was useless! I know the pollen today is quite high and the app is posting low to none! Totally wrong!
16. [R11] 1/5 · US Pollen and area not accurate: Conflicting information about area pollen. Very inaccurate.
17. [R41] 3/5 · US Never Changes!: Always reads the same, day after day. Certainly pollen count must change occasionally! Seems like readings are always the same. Always states “med.-High”. Just doesn’t change.
18. [R70] 2/5 · US The Lazy Pollen App: This app always says pollen levels are low when it’s clear they are not!
19. [R5] 2/5 · US Doesn't seem useful for just ragweed/grass: There's no way to tell the app which kinds of allergens you care about. Makes this pretty useless for me. If you have all the allergies, otherwise seems nice.
20. [R40] 3/5 · US Type pollen: Doesn't identify the types of pollen
21. [R45] 2/5 · US The type of active pollen would be useful: Telling me that the pollen counts are low, high, etc is only a small part of the equation. Without knowing what type of pollens are present, this app isn’t worth having in my opinion. You can get better info from weather apps. I thought this would be way more informative.
22. [R28] 4/5 · US No more allergen forecast?: This app usually works pretty well, now the forecast is completely blank. No idea what allergens are out there and it used to show. Now it’s blank and empty.
23. [R29] 2/5 · US Not so great: Was hopeful for this app with all the great reviews, but it only shows pollen count for 2 days at a time and then after a couple of days the app stopped working. Deleted it. I still can’t understand how it has so many 5 stars.
24. [R30] 1/5 · US no forecast?: nothing shows up on the forecast tabs . is that only for those who paid?
25. [R31] 1/5 · US Dysfunctional: Worked well for a while. It’s a very simple app with simple forecasts of allergens. The last few days the forecast is not working (and I have updated my app). Unfortunate because I was relying on this for my daily allergy forecast.
26. [R59] 2/5 · US Doesn’t track Dust or Mold: The app has potential but it doesn’t include Dust or Mold, which are my biggest triggers. The search continues.
27. [R67] 3/5 · US Just OK: Two of my biggest triggers, dust and dander, aren’t included in the counts/forecast or I’d give this 5 stars. I usually just look at AccuWeather for accurate pollen levels.
28. [R180] 3/5 · US Nice but no Dust info: I’d rate it higher if I could track much farther back in time, AND if they had a Dust Alert like similar apps do. Since Dust is a huge trigger for my asthma and allergy symptoms this is missing from my being able to best use the app.
29. [R19] 3/5 · US You can’t: You can’t add other cities to this application without being in that city and the search engine doesn’t seem to work at all for locating any other city to get pollen info on the city so I don’t really recommend that you download this app because it doesn’t give you many choices or options
30. [R225] 3/5 · US Doesn't work without location services: My iPad has tons of problem with location services. Looks like others do too. I'm hoping the developer will allow users to input their city, otherwise this is useless.
31. [R23] 1/5 · US Can’t read it: I can’t even read the blurb because it’s covered by an ad and every time I tap or try to scroll down me if I want to use my current location or pick my own and no matter how many times it’s the same thing. I’m not going to pay just to try the app. The info seems incredibly limited anyway.
32. [R74] 1/5 · US I never saw the app: Never saw the app because of all the ads. I don’t mind a few ads but that’s ridiculous. I can’t spend five minutes looking at ads.
33. [R83] 3/5 · US Unable to view full pollen narrative: Couldn’t scroll down to view pollen narrative due to ads.
34. [R94] 2/5 · US Paid version now forces ads: I paid for this app because I did not want to deal with ads, but a few months ago I was not able to use it without updating so I did. Now I’m constantly bombarded with ads. It’s a shady bait and switch. If I wanted ads, I would’ve used the free version.
35. [R9] 2/5 · US uses quite a bit of power: The app does a good job of tracking pollen, however it is my third most power hungry app and the top for background power usage. I’m not sure why it needs so much background power, but 12% usage in one day on an 17 pro?
36. [R10] 4/5 · US Love the app, BUT: This app is great. However, I wish you would allow me to log more previous days in my diary. I constantly forget to log days. You only allow yesterday and today logs. The unfortunate aspect is, I don’t know exactly how my allergies are doing for the day until the evening. The app should let you log yesterday’s and then the day before yesterday. Not today I don’t know how today’s
37. [R42] 3/5 · US Good, but would be better with forecasting: Those of us who suffer from allergies also want to know the outlook over the next few days to plan accordingly.
38. [R85] 2/5 · US looks nice: looks nice, but only gives results for today and tomorrow. the top 3 types of pollen are a few clicks from home screen . served up an ad for malware
39. [R119] 3/5 · US Decent, but would be great with a few additions: I tried a few different pollen apps and this is definitively the best. However, it’s still less useful than visiting pollen.com. A few things I would like to see to make this five stars: 1. The ability to pay to remove ads. 2. A breakdown of pollen type on the map. I want to know if it’s grass or ragweed or whatever. 3. A forecast that extends past
40. [R51] 1/5 · US Garbage: Crashes often. Only shows the current pollen count and nothing else. Waste of space.
41. [R88] 4/5 · US Use full app with bugs to work out: Very useful app. Although this update and the last few still have some bugs. On an iPhone 13 opening the app freezes the phone sometimes also the app will freeze and not respond to being dropped to the background or closed.
42. [R18] 4/5 · US No integration with iOS shortcuts: I was looking for an app to integrate with iOS shortcuts. It’s nice otherwise.
43. [R57] 5/5 · US Is there a widget for this app?: I find the app really useful. But it would be even better if there were a color coded widget that I could see first thing in the morning before I even open my phone so that I can mask up, if needed. Thank you.
44. [R78] 1/5 · US Misleading: Don’t bother buying the pro version if you were hoping for a widget, like I was. It doesn’t exist.
45. [R95] 1/5 · US Sketchy popover clickbate: I used to like this app, but the last two times I used it, it pushed a full screen very sketchy clickbate ad designed to look like an iPhone error message. Very disappointed and concerned about behavior like that.
