    Nice idea but not for me, don't wanna be texted at 8 o'clock every morning. I don't see it can be particularly accurate at that time of day either, just a prediction (gimmick?).
  • thats got to be the worst bloody webiste ive ever visited

    good idea though
  • such a weird website! - why can't it just get straight to the point?!
    nice idea though :)

  • Personally, I find my nose is the best indicator of pollen levels. I don't need to be texted to tell me that I'm sneezing!

    i registered the other day

    the texts arent great to be honest

    "fresh intelligence from the benadryl resistance. todays pollen count will be moderate. you may need to take precautions"

    "important information from the benadryl resistance. the pollen count is expected to be high today. proceed with caution"

    i was expecting something more specific but anyway, thanks to the op :)

    I agree with you idvi

    It's either high or low or moderate. But the texts they send every weekday morning is ok by me - reminder of the time for me after I stopped my alarm clock, cuz they tend to text at the same time everyday just after 8am.

    Messages were moderately interesting but not really that useful - saying the pollen count will be high every day in July when it's sunny is kind of a given. Annoyingly, I received 10 in a row on the last day with the 'see you next summer' message
