AirVisual is one of the most comprehensive apps available to keep you informed about your city’s air quality. In addition to viewing quality levels, AirVisual offers many other features. One is health advice, where the app informs you of steps you can take to avoid getting sick. This includes wearing a mask, closing windows, avoiding biking and more.
AirVisual can send you alerts about AQI fluctuations and link them on your home screen as a widget. You can also see a world overview to see how other cities compare to you. To share on social media, take a photo and use the AirVisual filter on it. This adds details such as AQI and location to the image.
