Features & Capabilities

UtahAir translates the Utah Division of Air Quality's new air quality alert system into clear, symbol-based action alerts and health guidance aligned with the EPA's Air Quality Index. It shows when actions (such as carpooling or avoiding wood burning) are voluntary or mandatory and how today's pollution may affect sensitive groups.

It helps Utah residents check daily conditions, decide when not to burn wood or coal, choose safer times for outdoor activity, and consolidate trips to reduce emissions. The three-day forecast supports planning around winter inversions and the summer ozone season.

User Reviews

UtahAir provides essential air-quality data in a clear, easy-to-check layout and is especially useful during inversion season. Yet it suffers from stability and UX issues: frequent crashes, location-permission requirements, and updates that disrupt usability on newer devices. The UI can be inconsistent across devices, and data displays can be misaligned or hard to interpret. Overall, the app's usefulness is undermined by reliability problems, even though the core data remains valuable when the app runs.

Pros

Clear, simple layout with data easy to check.
Provides current air quality, forecast, and burn/no-burn status.
Very useful during inversion season for planning outdoor activity and fireplace use.
Modern, streamlined interface when it functions properly.
Reliable for users on older devices who still rely on the app.

Cons

Frequent crashes on startup or when opening the app.
Location services requirement causes failure for users who disable or avoid sharing location.
Updates often introduce instability or break compatibility with newer iOS devices.
UI/UX issues such as portrait/landscape locking, non-standard navigation, and distorted charts.
Data display inconsistencies, including mismatches between current conditions and the forecast, and unclear station naming.

2025 update 2: the app was updated in December and I’m taking away two stars until it’s fixed. A nice map feature was added but it’s worthless as-is since I can’t select any of the stations and my old favorites have been steamrolled. 2025 update 1: the app was updated in January. It still crashed instantly for me until I deleted and reinstalled. I’m on iOS 18.1.1 2020 update: back to one star because if you don’t give full time location access it stays stuck on the launch screen with “Loading Stations” and nothing happening. This is with iOS 13.4.1 2019 update: glad it's available and working again. Not liking the request to use location even when app not open. Also: why no stations in Provo??? Original review (June-December 2017): crashing on launch for me. Not liking the non-standard navigation elements and charts sometimes were extremely distorted.

This app has become really buggy, and often crashes upon trying to open it. I keep having to delete and re-download it. The main screen frequently doesn’t accurately reflect current conditions, I always have to go to the trend charts to get a more reliable view.

I downloaded this to determine when I can use my fireplace. The display seems to give conflicting information, and the three-day forecast includes the current day, and the prediction for the current day (bottom of the screen) often does not match the symbol for current conditions (top of the screen). Generally speaking, in good with technology and I am an excellent reader, but this app seems to require scientific understanding that is not common knowledge and is not explained in the app. All I really want is a simple, “Yes, you can use your fireplace now,” “voluntary restrictions are recommended,” or “No, don’t burn thing right now.” I’m also not sure which location is nearest my home. There are several stations in my county, but most are named after I-don’t-know what. Only one station name is a city name that is familiar to me, and one location literally says, “near road,” for a county that is a major metropolis.
