AirRater is a free lifestyle app designed to help individuals with asthma, hay fever, and other lung conditions gain more control over their symptoms. Developed by researchers at the University of Tasmania, in collaboration with various government agencies and health departments, AirRater provides users with valuable information about environmental triggers that may worsen their symptoms.

With AirRater, users can track their asthma and allergy symptoms and receive individualized alerts when their triggers are high. The app offers up-to-date air pollution, pollen (where available), and temperature readings across Australia, allowing users to plan their activities according to the air quality in their location. By providing reports that show the relationship between symptoms and the environment, AirRater helps users identify which environmental factors are causing their symptoms to worsen.

It's important to note that AirRater is not only a helpful tool for individuals, but also a research project that aims to better understand and respond to the health impacts of air pollution. Users may be asked to complete surveys to contribute to this research.

Download AirRater today and take control of your asthma and allergy symptoms. Please be aware that the app uses GPS in the background to assess air quality, which may decrease battery life.
