What the Sameer AQI app is for

Sameer is a weather-category app from the Central Pollution Control Board, the body that publishes India's National Air Quality Index. The listing presents it as a way to explain air quality in terms that are easy to understand.

According to the listing, the app has two main parts: the hourly index readings and a complaints feature for air pollution. Both are covered below.

Hourly readings from the national index

Sameer carries the hourly updates of the National Air Quality Index for India. The listing attributes the index to the Central Pollution Control Board, which publishes it.

For someone checking the air during the day, the hourly cadence is the main thing the listing offers. The readings are the core of the app, and the complaints feature sits alongside them.

One number for several pollutants

The developer says the app converts air quality data for various pollutants into a single number, a category name and a colour. That turns several separate measurements into one reading a person can take in quickly.

The listing describes the index as a tool for communicating air quality status in plain terms. The number, the name and the colour are the three elements it shows together.

Filing and tracking pollution complaints

Sameer lets members of the public register complaints about air pollution. The listing also says people can track those complaints after filing them.

Registering and tracking are the two actions the listing gives for complaints. Both sit in the same app as the hourly readings, so checking the air and reporting a problem happen in one place.
