1. [R2] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 4/5 · US Exceptional App Broken Widget: It’s highly accurate very helpful as someone with extreme allergies. However the widget doesn’t work anymore and I need it for my healthcare which is very delicate and complex.
2. [R15] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 3/5 · US 5 stars if it worked consistently: Amazing informational app. Does exactly what I need and presents the info I need. Ads aren’t annoying either. What is frustrating is getting a notification from the app about an increase or decrease and almost every time I try to open the app to see details, there’s nothing, it just seems to be perpetually loading data. No matter WiFi or data or what situation I’
3. [R47] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 4/5 · US Best Pollen App, Please Fix Loading Issue!: This is my favorite pollen tracking app. It has all the most relevant info for me, and I appreciate the map and forecasting features. But I consistently can’t access the data, the app frequently gets stuck on a loading screen! Please fix this issue. This app is so helpful for me when it’s working!
4. [R62] Air Quality & Pollen 4/5 · US Pretty good: It’s good I mean really good but sometimes it shows the pollution in another area and it looks suspiciously high like 784 I’m not kidding it showed it but I think it was not true so that’s the only problem but it’s not like the app weather they check it every hour or close to that so ye but it also gives u a choice also to see UV and Pollen so I think that’s great and on the side of t
5. [R3] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 3/5 · US Popup ad with every click: Information provided is solid but I received a popup ad every time I clicked on something, some without a clear way to close. I deleted the app and check the website instead, since I know how to block popup ads there. • 5 stars for information. • 1 star for functionality. • Average is 3 stars.
6. [R28] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 1/5 · US Ads have taken over: I really like this app, but the ads are high jacking my phone. Had to finally delete as I could never get to the allergy forecast. A couple of ads are ok, but this is ridiculous.
7. [R63] Air Quality & Pollen 3/5 · US Great information, slow app: The data provided is great, definitely my preferred app to track air quality. But the app is consistently slow to load. Also, I paid so I could have the widget, and it’s always lagging/stuck on a reading from many hours ago. I end up having to open the app anyway because the widget is out of date.
8. [R19] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 1/5 · US Great app, but broken: App seems to have become compromised by bogus ads claiming your phone got hacked. Attempted to submit a report to the developer, but their submission form is broken. Placing a review here since there wasn’t much else to do to warn other users or the app developer.
9. [R50] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 1/5 · US Unreliable: Humans go to the moon but we still cant get a reliable allergy app. Doesnt load data some days
10. [R56] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 2/5 · US Just disappointed: Once again this app has stopped working. Previously I contacted support about it and eventually the issue was fixed. The design of the app is fine, and I assume the information is accurate. But they can’t seem to figure out a stable connection to the server, making this app consistently useless.
11. [R97] Air Quality & Pollen 1/5 · US HIGHLY inaccurate: We are currently under an air quality alert. The apps current reading: the air is clean, 46. You walk outside and it’s “foggy.” It has been for days due to wildfires. Current reading from airnow.gov is 162. THAT seems more accurate, considering I can’t even see through the air clearly.
12. [R1] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 1/5 · US Scam Ad: Used Allergy Plus for a few days now, but I just got a “message” in the app that my iPhone had 8 viruses and that I should click the button to receive instructions on how to remove them before system degradation led to me losing my data (fear mongering!). I googled it and learned that it is almost certainly a scam and was sent as an ad via their ad network or something like that. Do NOT
13. [R5] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 5/5 · US Allergy Plus: Great App for Sneezers
14. [R39] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 5/5 · US Great breakdown of allegiant in area: Clear overview, detail breakdowns and map with location data. And best of all free! I have chronic sinusitis and knowing how to be prepared to protect my health is vital.
15. [R78] Air Quality & Pollen 3/5 · US Best air quality and pollen app out there!: Update: July 19th 2023- problems again with widget being blank. In last 2 weeks widget has only shown data for 3 days. Need a response please from you Gorjan If I pay 5.99 a month, I expect there not to be these amount of issues for the widget. 2 weeks ago Worth the $5.99 per month! Data is accurate, clear and uncluttered. Customer service is one of
16. [R54] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 1/5 · US Not working again: I fail to see how this app with its constant server issues can ask a subscription fee. 70% of the time it’s not working and that’s not working for me. It’s beautifully accurate when it works, shame it’s taken this long to rectify.
17. [R110] Air Quality & Pollen 5/5 · US Great App & Incredible Developer Support: I have been trying a few apps, and this is a solid app. Their inclusion of the NASA and ESA satellites for ozone calculations make their AQI more accurate. As someone who is in the sensitive group (extra sensitive actually), this app has really helped me out with managing breathing issues. Additionally their developer support is top notch, their response w
