AQI and pollen as first-class data points.
If you have asthma or seasonal allergies, air quality isn't a curiosity — it's the first thing you check. Forecast Bar treats AQI and pollen as ordinary data points, so they can live in your main screen tiles instead of behind a menu.
- Air quality index with its descriptive band
- Pollen count with the dominant allergen named
- Choose which data points appear, and how many
- Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV
On the Lock Screen and the watch face.
The point of a threshold you care about is that you notice it without trying. Forecast Bar's Lock Screen widgets and watch complications can show AQI directly, so it's in front of you every time you check the time.
- Lock Screen widgets including an AQI gauge
- Home Screen widgets in every size
- StandBy support for a bedside readout
- Apple Watch complications in circular, corner, inline and rectangular families
Told when it crosses the line that matters to you.
"Unhealthy for sensitive groups" means different things to different people. Custom alerts let you set the AQI or pollen value that's worth a notification for you specifically, rather than accepting somebody else's definition of bad.
- Set your own AQI threshold
- Set your own pollen threshold
- Custom alerts cover 14 data points in total
- Quiet hours keep routine alerts out of the night
