Company Updates
This month, the GUAQ team has been hard at work putting all of the remaining pieces in place to support our highly anticipated pilot programs for the month of June. The hardware, the software, the analytics, and all of the supporting procedures have come together and we are incredibly thrilled to be putting our latest work out into the world. For more information, please reach out to team@guaq.tech.
In other news, the GUAQ mobile application has been updated with new features for the June release! These improvements include AQI color indicators for particulate matter pollution measurements. The color indicators show individuals which AQI health ranges their measurements are in and what level of concern they should have. Additionally, we are excited to be able to introduce a much more detailed and advanced settings page in this release which will be the foundation for a number of great features in the coming months. Our software teams are working hard to integrate new features that make it easier for you to interact with and view your data. Have any features you would like to see in the app? Give us your input! Checkout the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for GUAQ app v1.3.0.
