Review summary

Users praise Ambee for its clean UI and actionable pollen data, including allergen breakdowns and readable layouts. However, recurring issues hinder experience: freezes/crashes and no-data screens, inconsistent or outdated data for certain towns, UX friction from location prompts and having to re-enter saved locations, and a strong desire for a home widget.

Pros

Clean, simple UI that makes the app easy to use.
Reliable pollen data with breakdowns of allergen types.
Useful health‑focused data that helps users understand what’s high.
Good layout showing specific allergens and data‑driven insights.
Active improvements; developers listen to requests and push updates.

Cons

Stability issues: freezing/crashing and occasional 'no data' screens.
Data coverage gaps and outdated results for some towns.
Location prompts add UX friction, with re-selecting saved locations needed.
Lack of a home screen widget; users strongly request a widget.

2025-08-29	T *****	Would be a 5* other than when tapping on say pollen it opens a new screen 'in a nutshell' but it locks up with the 'see what's new' splash screen/tab. Even the back button is unusable necessitating closing the app. Take away the 'see what's new' tab and then we could see the details without the freezing. Nice simple and informative app otherwise. Thankyou.

2025-07-01	DI*****	I was trying to add 4 favorite locations (different address), but strangely, all four of them always had the same number in each option, and that seemed impossible to happen. #Indonesia

great app
2025-06-05	El*****	EDIT: The app is up and running again, and looks to be fine. back to an excellent rating! --------------- This app used to be excellent- probably the best breakdown of individual pollen types around, but has since stopped working.

2025-03-18	Ch*****	Was very good app at the end of year's season a few months ago now not giving any data for various local towns. Weirdly I can get the pollen data for these locations on the Ambee website.

2025-03-10	Ra*****	Really like the layout and the ability to see what specific allergens are high. As far as making it a 5 star app. It is super annoying that after putting in a specific location, the app still prompts me to share location and then makes me select the presaved address. Once I decline location, it would make it way better of an experience to just load my presaved location right away when the app is opened. That and I'd love a widget showing the allergens.

2025-01-27	Ni*****	Reliable data on pollen in an easy to use app. Recent update overhauled appearance (big improvement) and now also includes the breakdown of pollen subspecies, which is rather important for most people who suffer from hay fever. Certainly would recommend it, and the developers listen to requests.

2025-01-20	DA*****	Thank you for your app! There are many to choose from, I need a accurate site and I feel yours is. My breathing health depends on it!
