Local Haze for Android

I was delighted to find an app to read local purple air sensors on my phone. However, the same sensor provides different AQI on my phone and purple air website.

I am happy to give Local Haze a five star review. It has more monitors that update more frequently than any other phone based air quality app. When there is a local fire and shifting winds, it tells me when to bring the kids in NOW not waiting an hour and a half like some other (generally good) apps. The graphics are simple and the features are few, but what it does, it does very well. And here in Northern California, that is critical.

I downloaded Local Haze last week while in Lake Tahoe where the fires are happening. The app really helped me to understand the quality of the air while I was there.

I have found that while Purple Air does not have an official app, Local Haze offers a simple app to view PM 1, 2.5, and 10 data as well as AQI readings. I only wish temp and humidity were also available on the app from the Purple Air monitor.

Love that it shows PM 1, 2.5, 10 concentrations from PurpleAir sensors. Please make a widget that always shows the PM2.5 for a selected favorite sensor. Notifications when pollution crosses over a selectable threshold would be great also.
