Ratings and reviews

Given that you must have location enabled, must have Bluetooth enabled, and must connect to an online account, I feel this app does not protect the consumer adequately. In addition, I bought the device so that I could monitor my home levels while traveling--the presumed benefit of an online account, duh! But with its BT, you have to be within 50 ft of the device to get a read. Since you have to be home to use this, I recommend getting a cheaper device with a readout right on it.

Paid a LOT for a potentially useful item - it's just not ready yet. Rarely syncs properly unless I bump the side of the wave plus with my phone. So many gaps in the data I can't trust any of it. And this is for potentially health threatening information. That's why I spent so much on it. Now every time I sync it says there's a firmware update. Did that 4 times. Seriously unhappy about the entire thing so far. If this were a $50 device it wouldn't be that big of a deal but this was over $600!!!

// Update: recent app update seems to have fixed all sync related issues - now it syncs without a hitch. Updating to 5 starts. Original review below. As many people already said, the app *really* struggles to read sensor data from the device. Force restart app, turn off-on the bluetooth, restart the phone - all that. Good news is that the device itself seems solid - python script opensourced by Airthings is very reliable. So there's hope. In particular, for their upcoming Hub device.
