Why does it show air quality in LA if I’m in Santa Barbara? Wunderground shows several sensors near me in SB.

- p1esk 7y agoSo what’s the point if it’s imprecise? I use both Wunderground and Weather apps on my iphone and both are pretty fast.
- modeless 7y agoMost people have a better experience. You were unlucky, but it's easy to fix if you care to specify a location. I doubt that those apps are as fast as my site for the specific purpose of looking up current air quality at your location, but if you are happy with them then by all means continue to use them.
- p1esk 7y agoI'd say they probably take a couple of seconds max to load the info (from the time I click on the app icon), while your site is instantaneous. But that's acceptable to me, considering they also show other info, like weather forecast.
