About this app

Pollenwarte shows what is in the air today — the way pollen looks under a microscope: grain by grain, each species in its own shape. THE FIELD OF VIEW The home screen is a field of view, like a microscope slide. The grains of your selection drift in it, each species drawn as its real grain at its real relative size, as many as the value earns. Below it: the strongest species with its value and level, its day with the quietest window, and all your species with the next four days. HOURLY FORECAST Values come from the European CAMS model in pollen per cubic metre of air, served through Open-Meteo, for alder, birch, grass, mugwort, olive and ragweed. In Germany the Deutscher Wetterdienst pollen hazard index is shown alongside, adding hazel, ash and rye. EVERY SPECIES AT A GLANCE Each species has its own sheet: the grain magnified, its size and structure, the current value on its threshold ladder, four days hour by hour, the DWD values and the flowering season. DIARY AND ANALYSIS Log the day with one tap on “Log today”, with an optional 8 pm reminder; the diary keeps symptoms, severity and notes, and the month shows them as dots whose size carries the severity. The analysis says in one sentence which species was in the air more on your worse days — and that this is a pattern in your entries, not a diagnosis. How it is calculated is one tap away. HONEST STATES When a value is missing it says "no data", never zero. Cached forecasts always show their age. All times follow the timezone of the selected place.
