"Liked this app, loved being part of data collection for research... Until it stopped working. I can`t even get it to open anymore. Will use again if it`s fixed."

"It`s good when it works. Please make the layer selection have check marks or something to show when you select them. Having them change colors doesn`t tell you if you`ve selected what you want. Even if you select all the options, they may or may not show up on the map. There should be a range shown for each of the GOOD, MODERATE, UNHEALTHY, etc. levels. By showing the actual AQI number within a colored band, it doesn`t tell the viewer what the range of that band is. `Is there 1 more unit to go from the current band to the UNHEALTHY band, or is there 100 more units?!` Show color chart for the different smokes; Light, medium, heavy. Good idea, but needs tweeked a bit."

"Confusing. The home page gives you 2 meters, which are labeled above ``today`` and ``tomorrow.`` Unfortunately, they are also labeled below ``Particulates`` and ``Ozone.`` Thus, I`ve never been sure what info they were actually giving me. Then the map gives conflicting info, as well, with labels and smoke overlays disagreeing with one another. Finally, the symptoms page didn`t let you actually describe your symptoms. If like to be able to select, ``cough`` or ``headache.`` Instead, they just ask about ``respiratory`` or ``circulatory`` or ``eyes and ears.`` Where dis my headache fit? Not at all sure."

"This app does exactly what it claims to; displays air quality for your area, collects data based on your weekly experiences with or without wildfire smoke, as well as providing potentially life-saving educational information. This is an app that I wish I had available much sooner in my life."

"While this app has a clean design, it is unfortunately also quite slow and unreliable. I keep having to quit the app or reboot the device just to proceed through symptom reporting, and then it doesn`t save the data and return to the symptom types list much of the time. Hoping for an update and a way to re-submit any weeks missed or incomplete because the app simply wouldn`t allow me to send you the data you need."

"Agree with others about the operability of the app. Even with patience the app freezes on a Samsung Note 8 with196GB of memory with plenty to spare. It took a while for the map to render from a simple graphics file to a more detailed, realistic presentation. Could be the app itself is overloaded with program coding to be easily useful on a phone. This note is written after the September 01, 2020 update. Given the raging fires here in WA State and our local in the Seattle area, we wanted an app that provided some measure of air quality for us and our neighbors. Hopefully the authors of the app will find a resolution to the issue."

DESCRIPTION
The Smoke Sense mobile app is designed to pilot a citizen science study about the impacts of wildfire smoke exposure on health. Citizen scientists can use the app to learn about wildland fires and smoke health risks in their area. They can report their health symptoms, and the range of actions they are able or willing to take to improve their health condition or lower their exposure. Users will earn badges each week they participate.
If successful, data gathered through Smoke Sense will help EPA researchers and communities determine how smoke impacts our health and productivity and gain important insights needed to develop health risk communication methods during smoke days.
The findings from the study will be peer-reviewed for scientific publication and published on the EPA website. Public health officials and air quality managers can use the results to develop strategies to protect public health from wildland fire smoke.
The pilot will be conducted during the 2017 wildland fire season until the end of October. At the end of the study , the Smoke Sense app will go offline temporarily for updates. Smoke Sense app user identities will be anonymous and non-identifiable.
