Frequently Asked Questions

Why is grass or weed pollen showing 0?

This is likely accurate for your region and season. Grass pollen peaks May–July and weed pollen (ragweed) peaks August–September. Tree pollen is the main type active in spring. PollenIQ displays real data from Google Pollen API — if they report 0, that's what we show.

Why won't pollen data load?

Make sure you have an active internet connection and have entered a valid 5-digit US ZIP code. If the problem persists, close and reopen the app. Pollen data is cached once per day so if you've already loaded it today it won't re-fetch unnecessarily.

When does my Personal Risk Score unlock?

Your risk score unlocks after you have logged symptoms on 7 different days. This ensures the score is based on enough personal data to be meaningful. A progress bar on the home screen shows how many days you've logged.

When do Personal Insights unlock?

Personal Insights in the History tab unlock after 5 days of logging. The more consistently you log, the more accurate your insights become.

How do I reset or clear my data?

Go to Settings → tap "Clear All My Data". This permanently deletes all symptom logs and preferences from your device. This action cannot be undone.

Is my symptom data private?

Yes. All symptom logs are stored only on your device and are never uploaded to any server. Your location (ZIP code) is only used to fetch pollen forecast data and is not stored by us.

What does the Allergy Risk Score mean?

The risk score (0–100) is calculated by an algorithmic formula using your selected pollen triggers, current pollen levels, and recent symptom history. It is a personal tracking tool only and is not a medical assessment. Always consult a healthcare provider for medical decisions.

How do I export my symptom history?

Go to Settings → tap "Export Symptom Log". This generates a plain text summary of your logs that you can share or save.

The app is only showing data for the US — why?

PollenIQ currently supports US ZIP codes only. The Google Pollen API coverage may be limited in some regions. We plan to expand coverage in future updates.
