AirVisual Reviews

Best weather apps for 2023
The app promises detailed info on pollutants and the air quality index for 10,000-plus locations in more than 100 countries. You have a choice of maps for viewing air quality — either a color-coded 2D map or a Google Earth-like 3D version. AirVisual also works in 7-day forecasts so that you can plan ahead on your outdoor activities to make sure you're going out in healthy...

WeatherBug Reviews

Top 12 AccuWeather Alternatives For iOS You Can Use
The effectiveness of WeatherBug in providing real-time weather forecasts is unmatched by very few other weather apps. The app provides 10-day and hourly forecasts. Additionally, it has up to 19 weather maps so you can see the weather. I suggest taking a look at WeatherBug if you’re looking for an AccuWeather substitute with a more interactive map.
Best Weather Apps for 2023
WeatherBug's privacy policy says it collects personal information, like your name and address, and it might ask for other information like your gender and even your interests, which raises some concerns. I find it hard to imagine a scenario where a weather app would need to know my personal interests. You can request your data be deleted, and WeatherBug says that it complied...

  • AQHI – the superior AQI. Tracked only in Canada and Hong Kong. But you can calculate it yourself
    Iqair.com has this info. If you want to track IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) the same way – PM2.5 can be tracked cheaply and reliably, but I assume not the rest. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Alternatives to Chiang Mai
    I would advise heading South anywhere around Phuket should be better. Consult iqair.com for live updates on burning season and air index. https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/chiang-mai-air-still-the-worst/ar-AA19iwO4. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Air Quality data over Joplin/Carthage
    On the other hand, if you use Weather.com's data they report it's only a perfectly fine "27" which is "good"-- and iqair.com says it's also fine. Ditto airnow.gov-- nothing unusual to report. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What stinks downtown today?
    Iqair.com says the downtown air quality index is 112 which is on the high side. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Not so purple anymore: Just a heads' up, Air is Hazardous (301 and up per purpleair chart), for everyone in the area right now.
    The best site for air quality I've found so far is iqair.com. They seem to update fast and are the most accurate I've seen, including the ugly numbers in the 300s, in line with it looking particularly bad outside, as of this writing. They also show wind currents, and you can click on the side options to show or remove particular map-markers. Source: over 2 years ago

  • Weatherbug radar suddenly no longer displaying any map info?
    Argh! Should have tried this first: I went to setting, searched for cookies, delved into per site cookies and deleted all cookies for weatherbug.com. Radar started showing up again. Source: 11 months ago
  • Weatherbug radar suddenly no longer displaying any map info?
    Go to any city in the USA in weatherbug.com (I'm in Delray Beach, FL but I've sampled random other cities as well) and click on the radar to get a full screen image. The actual radar map is blank, but all the controls show up. Open same web page in firefox on the same system, and the radar image appears just fine. This is fedora 38 linux. Anyone else seeing this?

  • NYC needs a weather miracle
    Weatherbug.com has the best forecast for tomorrow so I'm choosing to believe that one. 30% chance of rain. Source: 11 months ago
  • Rides operate in cold weather?
    I don't know what service you're looking at, but I look at three main ones to get an average idea. weather.com, accuweather.com, and weatherbug.com. Source: about 2 years ago
