Limits and fair use

Last updated: 2026-10-16

We describe every limit of the app here so that nothing comes as a surprise. The numbers in this text are the ones the server uses right now.

Places

• Free: up to 2 places.
• Pro: up to 10 places.

Forecast

• Europe only: latitude 30° to 72° N, longitude 25° W to 45° E. Outside this area the app says "not modelled here".
• Each value is for a square of about 25 × 25 km.
• 4 days ahead. Updated once a day (usually between 09:00 and 15:00 UTC); the app shows how old the forecast is.
• Without internet you see the last forecast that was downloaded.
• Notifications: at most one a day, in the morning, only for your species and from the level you chose.

Cypress, plane tree and poplar (Pro)

These three species come from a separate source (Atmospore), which limits how many requests we can make each day. That is why these rules apply to them only:

• Your places are updated every morning automatically and do not count towards any limit. A place counts as "yours" if you opened it in the last 7 days.
• New places: up to 30 new places a day per purchase (for all its devices together). A place that anyone already opened today does not count. If you go over, the three species for the extra places appear the next day. Everything else keeps working.
• Daily capacity of the source: on a very busy day, new places may wait until later in the day or the next day. Your saved places are updated first.
• Outside the area covered by the source, the three species are shown as "not modelled here".

Devices and connection

• One Pro purchase works on up to 6 devices. Details are in "Pro: payment, cancellation and refunds".
• The app renews its connection to the server by itself (about once a day). For the three species, the device has to be online at least once every 30 days.

Requests to the server

To protect the service, the Pro part of the server accepts about 60 requests a minute from one internet address. Normal use of the app is far below that. Automated or bulk requests are not allowed (see "Terms of use").

If the limits change

The limits depend on the costs and terms of the data sources. If we have to change them, we will update this page and, if the change is important for Pro, tell you in the app first. Your rights under consumer law are not affected.
