What's new

May 12, 2026 - Forecast view: each day now shows three slim horizontal bars — Tree, Grass, and Weed, top to bottom — instead of three tiny vertical bars. The fill length scales with the pollen level (0–5), so the difference between Moderate and High is obvious at a glance. May 16, 2026 - Minor UI improvements May 21, 2026 - Glance now updates automatically — data refreshes in the background every 6 hours, so the glance stays current without opening the app. - Weed removed when not available — regions where weed pollen data is not provided by the API no longer show an empty weed row. Glance and forecast adapt to show only the types with actual data. June 22, 2026 - Allergen Filter — Choose which pollen types matter to you (Tree, Grass, Weed). Set it on-device or from the phone app. Unselected types are hidden from all screens and excluded from severity scores. - Trend Arrow — See at a glance if pollen is getting worse or better tomorrow, shown right next to today's severity. - Quick Settings Access — Press START on the main screen to adjust your allergen filter anytime.
