Flow – Air Pollution Sensor

Super slow to download data from device. On iPhone 5Se after you started it freezes the device which requires a hard reset. The device has a design problem in the docking station where the power connector is not connected and the device in the socket drain easily the battery. The app display stupid information for a just in house use. No major update in the data display, no option to have one single graph of the parameters with a longer history than the last 24 hours. I would say not recommended.

Faulty readings. GPS will only work if you select locations services “Always” so your battery is dead after a short day working. I spray hand sanitizer after touching crosswalk buttons - and that throws the sensors off for 45 minutes. And waking up on the morning... forget about checking the air through the night - you have to export and email the data to yourself just to see what the air quality was at 11pm while you were asleep. I appreciate what they want to do - but they are trying to jump to the finish line instead of growing this product organically, working with users to slowly develop something good and stable. I am sorry I ever found this app and wasted money on the sensor (which has never lit up since the day I started using it). What is the home button? It does absolutely nothing. A start up that will flop if this keeps up and you are left then with useless plastic junk.

I’ve been using the Flow for a couple days now and with it using my gps, Bluetooth and running in the background on my phone I’ve lost 35% of my battery life on my iPhone X using this app. They really should have put a gps in the device itself and a low power Bluetooth connection to maintain connection until you need to preform a full sync. I love he idea of knowing what the air quality is around me but not at the cost of charging my phone way more frequently. I would also like to add that the app needs a day,week,month and year view for your data. Hard to make choices about the air your in if you can’t view a historical visual layout of how things get worse or better though out the year. Maybe my walk to my coffee shop is better on the weekends than the weekdays... I will be returning this air quality monitor due to these issues.
