  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. [R5] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 5/5 · US Allergy Plus: Great App for Sneezers
  3. [R8] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 5/5 · US Very helpful: Allergy Plus is very useful in warning of conditions that may merit taking allergy meds. I use it daily in high pollen seasons. Thank you!
  4. [R9] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 3/5 · US Thank you!!: I appreciate being able to see which pollens are the worst each day! Now if i can learn where to locate the mold information my life will be complete!!😉
  5. [R6] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 3/5 · US Love this app but it stopped working: Love this app but it stopped working when I tried loading it.
  6. [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’
  7. [R21] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 3/5 · US Stopped Functioning on 5/12/25 for no reason: Worked well until 5/12/25 when the daily pollen screen went blank and just spins, trying to load. The app hasn’t been updated on more than a year. Uninstalling/Reinstalling did not fix it. Moving on.
  8. [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
  9. [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.
  10. [R4] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 1/5 · US Displayed ads that are malware.: The app itself was fine, but it displayed malware ads, which means they aren’t controlling advertisers and malware ads are getting thru. Hence the poor rating. If you want a free allergy app, I’d look else where; maybe the paid version is ok, haven’t tried that.
  11. [R7] Allergy Plus by Pollen.com 1/5 · US App is Serving scam adds: I encountered a very concerning issue in the app. After clicking “View All,” I was shown a fake security warning claiming my iPhone had been hacked and instructing me to install a cleanup app from the App Store. This looks like a scam advertisement or malicious popup and seriously hurts trust in the app. Please review your ad providers and fix this immediately.
  12. [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.
  13. [R63] KIRA STOKES FIT 1/5 · US App has issues: I’ve been using this app for years, Kira did an update 10/25 and it’s never been the same. Apple TV is no longer usable, the app team tries to help but they are slow to fix issues and when they do fix an issue, something else breaks. The app on my iPhone works but it’s clear Kira doesn’t even look at her own product organization. There are workouts listed in categories that have no
  14. [R65] KIRA STOKES FIT 1/5 · US Awful upgrade: This is my favorite workout app and I really enjoy Kira’s workouts, energy and enthusiasm. However, this app upgrade is abysmal. A month ago, I was told to create a new account, as my App-based account was unaccessible. Now, I’m being charged for two subscriptions and cannot figure out how to cancel one. Tech support is AI and not one actual human. I love this app and want to k
  15. [R66] KIRA STOKES FIT 5/5 · US Magically different: I’ve tried a lot of different and great workout apps and programs, but Kira far exceeds them all. There’s just so much knowledge that Kira has that is woven through every single facet of this program. You will not find a better program.
  16. [R74] KIRA STOKES FIT 5/5 · US Kira is the best trainer I have ever experienced!!!: Hello, Christy Hill here from New York!! I have to say that Kiras workouts are so amazing! She has gotten my body tight and lean!!! I feel so empowered after doing her sessions that I feel Like I can conquer the world!!! She delivers exactly what she says and they are not at all easy workouts. Very challenging and I feel awesome after!! Thanks K
  17. [R77] KIRA STOKES FIT 5/5 · US Best fitness app I’ve used!!: I get stoked DAILY for the past 5 years with Kira’s app and find it’s an easy way to build habits and healthy movement patterns. I find her programming intentional, evidenced based, and foundational to building a strong mind and body!
  18. [R81] KIRA STOKES FIT 5/5 · US Results!: I started on Julian Michael’s 28 shred and continued with Kira Stokes. I run on my treadmill 3-4 days a week during my lunch and do a video plus an ab video after work, along with a low calorie diet. I am finally seeing results after years of being frustrated with not losing any weight. I am noticing my body getting toned after years of not being able to tone my legs. My clothes are fitt
  19. [R61] KIRA STOKES FIT 2/5 · US I despise the new app! Please fix!: Let me start by saying, Kira is a phenomenal trainer! I love her workouts and find them to be challenging and rewarding. I’ve been a devoted app user for 4 years and this new updated app is making me question if I should continue. When I click on the workout I want to do, it never opens. The only way I can do a workout is to type out the workout in my search bar
  20. [R62] KIRA STOKES FIT 5/5 · US New Version: I am a daily user of this app. Love the content. The update is glitchy. I can’t easily mute the background music and then when it “takes” and I try to play my own music, it will start the workout background music again. I just want to hear Kira’s cues!
