The app doesn’t include grass as a potential allergen.

This app does what it says it does and I’m happy with the UI. I’m even happy to have paid a one-time fee for the pro version. I hope the developers will consider making it more customizable in the future, but even as-is, it’s a great app for tracking the 3 highest pollen types in my area.

Excellent thread

Initially when I bought this app, it performed well; however, currently it appears to have forecast limitations that greatly reduces its useability.

Great app but I live in one area and have to keep going back and forth between two different places. I always have to constantly reset custom location and should be able to set several like in weather apps. Is there any way to save several different places on this app? Would save a lot of my headaches. I live in one area but work in another most of the week.

How would you feel if you opened the weather app and asked how hot will it be today, and the app gave no numbers, no specifics—it just says, very hot. That’s how I feel when I open this app. I don’t get any useful information, not even on the Apple Watch app. I know the pollen count is high. I want to know how high. Using metrics. Numbers. You make me sad.

I can’t trust it. I live in the southeast and the only accurate reading I can find, is observing how much yellow dust is accumulating on my car. This app says low pollen day, my swollen face disagrees.

I really like the map with an indicator of where I am, anytime. It also has a diary to keep up with your symptoms, thus have fair warning as to what time of year you will, most likely, have them again and can be prepared. This app is how’s you exactly what is prevalent along with photos so you can steer clear.

The app is simple to use and generally fine at documenting/forecasting high pollen levels. I say “generally” because, compared to the daily pollen counts posted by Atlanta Allergy Center (1) The exact numerical pollen count is not included in the app (understandable for a forecast for the following day, less so in day), and (2) The major pollens are off. The app has been saying Elm is the major pollen locally, with Juniper and Maple also being high, whereas the pollens observed by the Allergy Center are Oak, Pine, Juniper, Maple and Birch. Elm is not listed, which makes sense because Elm trees are not as common here in the Atlanta area and in the South as they are further north (there are some for sure, but likely not enough to make Elm pollen the major contributor to the pollen count or forecast). Additionally, grass and mold pollens are not noted in the app. Maybe they will be as they become more significant contributors. Grass pollens and mold are actually present in low quantities now (again according to the Allergy Center) which is important to know since I am sensitive to some grasses and mold. I am shocked that there are not better allergy apps available considering the millions that suffer year around. I will say Pollen Pro, at least functionally and design-wise, is one of the best of a very weak crop.

This pollen app has been excellent since I’ve started using; it is always accurate and such user friendly to use. A definite pleasure to use everyday of the entire year.
