Spare The Air Checker

Shop Google Play on the web. Purchase and enjoy instantly on your Android phone or tablet without the hassle of syncing.

1 Jul 2013 Quick note: Since a 'Spare the Air' day hasn't happened since this app was published, notifications set for 'Spare the Air Alerts Only' may not function as expected. As soon as that occurs I'll work on pushing out an update ASAP. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Check Before You Burn!

Check the Air Quality status before you go outside in the summer or use your fireplace in the winter!

NEW: Now support the Pebble smartwatch.

NEW: Now supports the nine county San Francisco bay area! (http://www.baaqmd.gov)

This unofficial app shows you the current Spare The Air status for the Greater Sacramento and San Francisco regions.

Please rate and comment!

Features:

* Homescreen widget (resizable on Android 3.1 or higher)

* Report violations by phone

* Notifications (paid)

* Push notifications (paid)

* Pebble smartwatch support (paid)

* Lockscreen widget (Android 4.2 and higher)

You can upgrade to the paid version via a one-time in-app purchase which unlocks the full version to removes ads, and enables notifications.

If within a week you are not satisfied, simply email me your order number and you'll receive a full refund!

The main app and widget will always remain free!

If you haven't noticed by now, there is a secret feature: a lockscreen widget

It's available to everyone on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) and higher, and has been since 1.0.0.7!

NOTE: There is an Android bug which will cause the device to reboot when updating an app that has a lockscreen widget. This unfortunately is beyond my control and requires Google to issue a fix.

Please email me with any issues/suggestions.

I am also not affiliated with Pebble, I just own their watch.
