Description
What is the air quality in your area?
AQCheck uses air quality information from the worldwide network of PurpleAir monitors. PurpleAir is a company that makes low-cost air quality monitors available to the public. For more information, check out http://purpleair.com.
With AQCheck, you can check the air quality of almost 4500 monitors placed around the world. AQCheck provides an Air Quality Index value based on calculations done by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The high-quality build of PurpleAir monitors results in accurate readings all the time. And because PurpleAir monitors update every couple of minutes, you'll always have the latest information about the air quality in your area.
Features:

- Select any number of sensors for the watchlist and see their air quality at a glance.
- Use colors to make it easy to determine how bad the air is.
- Tap on monitor information screen to go to the location on the PurpleAir map.

Ratings and Reviews
No guide whatsoever!
How do I delete an accidentally added monitor? Remains a mystery
What is the difference between a + and a checkmark? Seem to be used interchangeably. Remains a mystery
No ability to search by city like on purple air.! Very disappointing. Wasn’t informed that I needed to prepare to scroll through every US monitor to find the one a few blocks away.
Developer Response ,
Work is underway right now to clean this up a bit. I've been off on other things like school and haven't had an opportunity to get back to it. Now that I've graduated, I should have more time to work on this. I do have a list of items that I'm going to implement, including simplifying the screens and usage. I also want to add the ability to get monitors by region and location. I'll add documentation to that list. I try to write apps so that they are self-documenting and maybe I missed the mark on this one.
I think that searching on a city is actually a function of the map used on the website. It's easy enough to find a monitor to add. All you need is the name of the monitor and that can be easily gotten from the map by clicking on the monitor. The list is searched by the monitor name, so if a monitor is named well it's easy to find. Of course they aren't all named well and that makes it a bit of a challenge, but going to the monitor on the map will give you the information you need.
A "+" is for adding something and a checkmark is the same as Ok. To delete a monitor, left swipe it on the list and there should be a Delete button.
Thanks for the honest feedback. I do intend to improve upon what's already there. Take care.
Just what I needed
I want to track specific sensors near my house and this app gives me exactly what I want to see. I’m an app developer so was going to build something just like this but now I don’t have to, thanks!
