Great app particularly given current situation in Oz

This is a great app particularly with the bushfires in many parts of Australia. I have a couple of minor improvement suggestions:* ability to change the order of locations when you’ve added more than one* display of the currency of the data for each location i.e. when the sensor last updated it’s reading or when the app last retrieved the reading from the sensor, which ever is older (this could perhaps be configurable so those that aren’t interested in this information can disable it being displayed)* inclusion of a lock screen widget so you don’t have to unlock your phone and open the app to display the current value and rating of your chosen sensor(s) in your chosen location(s)

Helpful app. Reliable data. UI is a bit clunky.

This is a very helpful app with good quality, reliable data. It has been especially useful during bushfire season as the air quality changes quickly. A few small suggestions for improvements:1. It would be good to know the time and location of the reading that is displayed. For example, the air quality might be getting noticeably worse but the app shows a reading that seems ok. If we could see that it was an old reading that would be helpful. 2. The graph is also really useful but a bit hard to access. Perhaps add a link on the main menu at the bottom for easier access? 3. there are a few bugs to iron out. For example, sometimes it seems to reset and I have to re-register. Also, the onscreen keyboard gets hidden when trying to type the name of a location to save (iPhone 11 iOS 13).4. Overall there could be some other general UI improvements to make it a bit sleeker. There are other apps in the App Store that are much easier on the eye but don’t have the same quality reliable data that’s locally sourced. Perhaps you could borrow some UI ideas from those apps? In the same vein I think you could come up with a better app icon!Thanks again for a great app.

Daily updates please

Great app, even better if there would be updates every day (around the same time) and an indication of when the samples are taken. Plenty of detail hidden in the app, impressive, the labels of what information is available could be clearer. Agree with other people that it would be great to be able to change the order of chosen locations. Nothing else compares with the detail and quality of the information.

It is a great app as it helps me know what is happening re pollen in my suburb in Canberra. When I start sneezing I just feel helpless but with this app, i wonder now if there are more than one kind of trigger, including stress.A second review: I am living in Sydney at the moment and find your app invaluable, even tho it doesn’t tell me about pollen like it does in Canberra. I now take my medication when I get the symptoms and they align with the levels you post. And that’s a great comfort in this dreadful and scary time of galloping Delta strain here. So thank you again.
