AllergiesAllergies is a $1.99 app in the iTunes store that is a must-have for those of us that suffer from things like the pollen season that can be measured in inches here in Atlanta.  If you and the term “outdoor” are not a good mix, then this is the app for you.  It downloads daily levels from the internet (specifically AccuWeather.com) that shows the levels of pollution, mold, weed, grass, and tree pollen in the air.  Daily reports of these conditions can also be emailed to your inbox each day.

As useful as this application is, I would really like to be able to touch each measured category and have it show the actual level (like pollen count) for the day as well as a graph of what it has been like over the last week and/or month.  Here in Atlanta, a “high” level is a very relative thing.  Anything over a count of 120 is considered “extremely high”.  Yet there are times each year when we exceed 2,500 to 3,000.  So being able to track this at a deeper level of detail would be great.

Overall though, this app provides a nice “misery index” for those suffering from allergies.  It gets a thumbs-up.
