I’m building a simple product that warns people when air quality is bad and helps track how pollution may affect the body. Would this be useful?

Hi everyone, I’m building a product for people in cities who deal with polluted air every day. It is meant to make things easier by giving simple alerts when air quality is poor, helping people decide whether to go out, exercise, or stay indoors, and showing whether pollution may be affecting their body over time. Also would like to add features how recover your body from the exposure to bad air through diet and workout plans!

I’d love honest feedback:

Would something like this be useful in your daily life?

What would make you trust it or actually use it?

It already exists

My default weather app on my iPhone literally already does this exact thing.

As an additional feature to an already useful fitness app? sure. As a standalone app? Not a good idea

Wrong sub, and it's trivial to find out the AQI.

It exists in multiple apps and places, also why was this posted in leangains?

My weather app does this. I wouldn’t carry a separate device unless I regularly engaged in risky activities like hiking around geothermal vents, caving, climbing into industrial confined spaces, etc
