Contact Paku Air Quality App Support

I love the concept of an app that provides a widget for purple air. However, the widget does not work correctly. Even when I change the settings (indoor vs outdoor sensor, conversion factor, real-time vs average) The widget does not reflect these settings. Additionally, every time I view the widget, it shows different data moment to moment. At first I thought this was because the widget was displaying real time data, but the data on purple air itself was not changing second to second when I tested this so I think that’s an additional bug. Hopefully these get worked out and the LRAPA conversion added :)

Just downloaded this app and it looks very useful, except that those of us (like me) with zero aptitude for geography NEED an option to type in the city whose AQI we want. Then we need a way to save our favorite locations for future checks. I’m very happy that someone has created an app for Purple Air data. It just needs that extra function to make the data easy to find for all.

I love how Paku lets me avoid the clunky PurpleAir website. The app is wonderfully simple and looks good. However, the app is a little too simple. For example, the app never refreshes data. If I leave the app open and want to see the current air quality, I have to quit and relaunch the app. Ideally the app would refresh data automatically every 5-10 minutes. However, a manual refresh option is an absolute requirement for an app like this. Having to quit and relaunch the app just to refresh the data available is super obtuse and cumbersome. Another issue is that PurpleAir sensors grab lots more data than only the AQI. I find PurpleAir sensors even more useful for their temperature readings than their AQI readings. The sensor saturation is so high in the San Francisco Bay Area that they make it really easy to see what all the microclimates are like around the bay. I can then use this to plan my outdoor activities. It would be fantastic if Paku allowed us to view temperature data from PurpleAir sensors. All said, it's fantastic that Paku exists at all. I'd gladly pay $10 for this app as it exists today. Add auto-refresh and temperature data and I'd more than willingly pay $20. This app has huge value potential for my daily life. I hope to see it reach that potential one day.
