I downloaded the app and spent a little time playing with it. Here are some of my initial thoughts.
I agree with Mark’s comments and will echo the request of showing VOC’s. I’ve installed a PA with the BME680 at my place in Colorado so it does report VOC to the map, and I know that after the severe fire in Louisville/Superior neighborhoods this past winter a lot of VOC sensors went up within the burn area (see forum post here).

Upon opening the app it correctly selected the closest monitor (which is mine of course) but initially I couldn’t tell if it was showing mine because I could not find the station name. Any chance to also show the station name as listed in the map?
-
I did not purchase the Pro version so I couldn’t test the Apple Watch app, but I downloaded an Apple Watch only app from a different developer that actually seems to connect directly to my station using its IP address. I assume this work since I’m on my home network which the PA is also connected to. It’s a neat idea and perhaps could be a Pro feature for realtime data from one’s own sensor(s). Here’s a link to that free app.
-
Any chance to see the other parameters (could be a Pro feature)? I can see myself using the app to just do a quick check of my own sensor (temp, humidity, pressure, as well as diagnostic looking at WiFi signal strength or uptime). I don’t know if these are reported as part of the API, but it’s reported on the map, so figured I’d ask.
-
I like the map and the graph at the bottom of the map. Anyway to show the graph as it does in the PA map instead of just bars? I personally like line plots, as well as seeing ChA and ChB.
-
Is there a way I can see a stations reported “confidence”? It’s displayed on the map when one clicks a station and is how close ChA and ChB are to each other.
That’s all for now. I’m using an iPhone X. I have cycled through quite a few air quality apps, so looking forward to seeing what new features this one will bring.
