About this app

Pollen Wise has reached version 5! We've been hard at work transforming data from the network of Pollen Sense sensors into a model that includes greatly improved forecasting.


Own Your Seasonal Allergies with Pollen Wise! Using a robust network of sensors around the United States and select other countries, Pollen Wise provides up-to-date pollen counts to help users mitigate allergens and avoid seasonal allergy symptoms. Customize Pollen Wise to put emphasis on the allergens that impact you the most, while still seeing levels across categories!


Pollen Wise is the only seasonal allergy app providing hourly allergen reports! Competing apps either use counts from yesterday or various other algorithms based on daily counts.


The advanced Automated Particle Sensor (APS) by Pollen Sense uses AI image processing to analyze images taken via a microscope to identify and classify allergens down to individual species. Particularly sensitive to Ragweed? Pollen Wise has you covered! Specific trees during tree season have your nose running? APS sensors find those too!


Airborne particulate levels can vary dramatically through the day! With Pollen Wise, you can see an up-to-date snapshot of allergens nearby and better plan your outside time.


The allergen journal feature allows you to log your symptoms to later see snapshots of your symptoms and allergen levels at that time. Please consult with a specialist if you suffer from seasonal allergies. As airborne particulate levels are impacted by weather conditions, levels can change dramatically.


While many features of Pollen Wise are free, some features require a subscription (Pollen Wise Plus). Unlock access to more historical data, an upgraded journal experience, home/lock screen widgets, and more with Pollen Wise Plus!

Ratings and reviews

Nearest sensor is "Very Far". From the answer given on the FAQ, this sounds like it could be anywhere from 100 to 1000+ miles away. Hard to know if the information is locally relevant at all. If the app & FAQ were honest enough to admit some locations are probably too far away to be helpful, but anything "Very Far" is within some distance still useful for local use it'd be helpful. As is currently presented, it sounds like the nearest sensor could be 3 states away. You don't need to give exact positions of your sensors to provide honest ranges like "10-20 miles", "20 to 50 miles", "50-100 miles", "100-200 miles", "200+ miles", so users in the 200+ miles zones can look for other options rather than delude themselves trusting the "Very Far" label to be locally applicable.

Great app! By far the best app I have used to check pollen counts. I have really bad allergies as well as asthma bc of it. I have to check the pollen count hourly if possible to avoid exposure (to the best of my ability). I've tried other apps and they aren't as accurate. This app is not only accurate, but nice to look at and it has useful information in just the right amount of words. I also like that I am able to track how I feel and it uses that data to provide notifications/warnings.

Not useful on its own- incomplete/inaccurate reports. I want to love this app. It's beautiful and the data is laid out exactly like I want from an allergy report app. The problem is, it's inaccurate. The data reflected in this allergy report based on my location conflicts with multiple other allergy reports from my local area- the primary culprit being grasses which I am highly allergic to. Multiple other sources showing moderate to high levels, this app shows zero. Not useful if not accurate.
