It would be better if the app could be personalized for people at risk. They are instructed to "find their number" where they experience symptoms. The app would be more useful if that number could be entered and the scale would slide to give appropriate activity suggestions. Ex: my # is 3 which would have me only doing light activities outdoors. I'd like the scale to slide over by 2 so the suggestions reflect my needs. I think this would help people more.

Just installed it and it is just what I was looking for, especially for wildfire season. It would be nice to have as someone had suggested a widget to show the current AQHI level. Or perhaps in the notification area to see current levels could be nice. Thank you for the app.

Montreal here, this app never ever changes its numbers. I realize this is due to the fact that apparently we don't have an AQ sensor. In Montreal. In 2019. I'm dying as I write this so I'm pretty certain we're above 3 here, but it's always 3.

This app just lost a good ranking from me. I suffer from Asthma and COPD and thought this app would be helpful. It never notified me the AQHI rocketed to 9 today, I have the alert set for 5. No notification of any kind.

app couldn't be better. Wish all government funded stuff could be of this quality. I wish there were more AQ sensors, but thats not the developers fault.

This app does what it says on the label and that's all I need. The only thing I'd like is a 1x1 widget that can be put on a home screen with the AQHI rating.

About this app

Stay informed on outdoor air quality conditions, plan your outdoor activities, and manage exposure to outdoor air pollution. The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) Canada app informs users of the level of health risk associated with local outdoor air quality. The app provides hourly AQHI readings and daily forecasts for all AQHI communities across Canada.

The app includes the following features:

• User defined push notifications based on the AQHI level and stations you choose.

• Map screen to view spatial distribution of AQHI over a region or the entire country.

• GPS capability to bring you to your nearest station from the map screen.

• Profile view for setting favourite communities.

• Tips for taking personal action to improve air quality.

The AQHI is reported as a number from 1 to 10. The higher the AQHI number, the greater the health risk and need to take precautions. Health messaging provides advice for limiting exposure to air pollution and adjusting outdoor activity levels when air quality is poor.
