Allergy Plus by Pollen.com

I’ve always suffered from seasonal allergies, but things got worse when I moved to North Carolina, and global warming isn’t helping. In the spring, there is so much tree pollen that it blankets everything outside in a fine dusting of greenish yellow that peaks in April, until it’s finally washed away by the rain.

There are a lot of apps for tracking pollen levels on the App Store, but many are semi-abandoned or not very good to begin with. So after a particularly bad week of allergies, I went looking for an app that offered a pollen forecast and integrated with my Home and Lock Screens.
