Readings are now pooled from the nearest reporting stations, and out-of-date values are never shown, so the number you see reflects the air right now.
Check your air quality at a glance - anywhere in the world.
Smog Report shows real-time AQI data from the EPA AirNow and OpenAQ networks with a design that reflects current conditions — colors, gradients, and atmospheric effects shift based on air quality levels and time of day.

PRIVACY
All AI inference runs on-device using Apple Intelligence. No air quality summaries, queries, or personal data are sent to any server beyond the air-quality API request itself.
DATA
Air quality data is provided by the U.S. EPA AirNow, Singapore NEA, or OpenAQ (a nonprofit aggregator of reference monitors).
Air quality values, forecasts, and health messages come directly from official monitoring stations near your location.
This app is great. I live in Southern California and am in that group of "highly sensitive individuals" affected by air quality. Fascinating and useful to have data on, for example, which cities are most affected by recent forest fires. The Air Quality Index of mine is 139. No wonder I'm wheezing. Where to go? I check the cities close by. 120s-130s. Check my cousin's city, 40 miles away. AQI only 79. Better! I check the coast. AQI a mere 50! Do I hear a mini-vacation calling?Love the leaf symbols to indicate health points. Green is great, going to green with yellow edge, yellow, yellow with red edge, red. Great visual. A minor annoyance: If you put a lot of cities on your list, it takes a long time to see data on any one of them, and you're blocked from doing anything about it. I'd rather see the current one ASAP, because usually I don't care about the others. Or, I want to be able to access the list of cities so I can just delete some, to have the rest load faster (sometimes I like to look at the cities where my siblings live, just for grins--but not when I'm trying to get local data quickly).
Great air quality app
NorthernNeck
I have only good things to say about this app. It uses an easily understood system for rating air quality and gives accurate up-to-date information when compared to other data. I appreciate being able to look at a variety of US cities, too. Thanks for making a visually appealing, helpful air quality app!
Simplistic

Simple, easy to use format. Gives me needed up to date information. I purchased this app as an easy way to find areas with safe particulate levels suitable for strenuous outside exercise. It was especially valuable when our area was experiencing various levels of smoke due to wildland fires.
Great app

Has been accurate so far very great and reliable
Fresher, more trustworthy readings everywhere.
Smog Report now builds each location's air quality from the nearest monitoring stations that are actually reporting, taking the most recent reading for each pollutant. Readings that are out of date are no longer shown at all, so the number on your screen reflects the air now rather than the last time a station happened to report.
Fixes a bug that could show "Unable to Load Data" instead of air quality for locations where the nearest EPA monitors are not currently reporting. Where EPA monitors have a gap in coverage, Smog Report now falls back to the OpenAQ global monitor network so you still get a reading, and credits OpenAQ on the About screen when it does.
These improvements apply everywhere the app shows air quality, including home screen widgets, the Apple Watch app and its complications, Siri and Shortcuts, and background alert checks.
Also: a hiccup loading the forecast no longer blanks the whole card - current conditions keep showing.
