iReview: Zyrtec Allgery Forecast

There's not really much to say about this app, except it pretty much determines how my day will pan out.

Hi!  I'm Jenn, and I'm allergic to everything that grows and that is also the color green.  Annnnnnd, I live in Texas, where stuff stays green pretty much all year round.

The first thing I do every morning is open this app.  It's easy to use and easy to understand.  I also love this app because it's tied in with the weather channel, so you can get your life or death allergy forecast at the same time as getting the weather!

Here's a few screen shots:

As you can see, the scale goes from 0 to 12, 12 being:  if I chose to walk out the door and spend even 6 seconds outside, I might will DIE.  Also, I've pointed out how easy it is to read, the colorful scale next to the actual forecast number makes easy to see if you will die a painful allergic death or not.  Also, below you can see the high and low for the day.  This app uses the GPS on your phone to pinpoint the location for which you are requesting the forecast.


This picture shows that I need to move to NYC, where the Predominant Pollen is none, and the score doesn't even really register on the colorful life or death chart.

The other things that I love about this app is that it's FREE, and there aren't ads all over the place.  The only place an ad pops up is if you select the "Get Relief" button on the bottom, then it will give you a list of Zyrtec products.

I give this bad boy 2 thumbs up, because it's faster than waiting for the weather person on the TV to tell you you're going to die!
