The Blueair Friend app informs you about air quality and what you can do to improve the air you breathe.
Use the app to remotely control your connected Blueair air purifiers and stay in control of your indoor air at all times.
The app reports air quality registered by your products’ sensors in real time, and traces your indoor air quality over time in intuitive graphs.
The app also let you set custom notifications to stay informed when particles and gases thresholds are exceeded.
You can also program your air purifiers fan speed and light behavior to certain times and days of the week.
The Blueair Friend app tracks air quality outdoors at your position, or any place worldwide. The dominating pollutants in outdoor air are monitored down to a single city block and updated hourly: AQI (EPA index), particles (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2,) sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3). The color coded heat-map gives you a fast overview of the air quality outdoors.

How to install Blueair Friend APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Blueair Friend APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.blueair.blueairandroid-v2.8.8-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★The addition of devices can be tricky but works at the end. The app worked fine on my previous phone with an earlier Android but on 9 seems to work partially: it is possible to get the information from connected devices (one in the office and one at home), including notifications, and set night mode but, even for successfully added devices the app keeps trying to connect with the spinner continuously spinning. Access method over WiFi could have been better: we have many devices in office.
2 ★We love our Blueair!! Was able to connect to our wifi easily, but is unable to see the indoor air quality reading. We saw it once and poof it was gone. We can only view outdoor air quality, but really isn't the reason of the purchase and the download. How can we see the indoor air quality in app? And/or how can we fix this app issue?
2 ★Could not connect to my local wifi as MANY more have mentioned. After 2h tries using 3 separate phones where none worked, I've found a way. Used one of the phones to create a wifi hot spot, while another and the unit will use this hotspot instead of local wifi. The app itself doesn't block the usage of the purifier (+audit and dim). Yet it either works consistently or should be altogether removed. Connectivity issue is KILLING all hard work that went into the product! RETEST IT THOROUGHLY!
1 ★Blue air app will not connect with my blue air purifier the sense screen on top of the blue air purifier no longer lights up. I contacted the company when the top O the blue air purifier stop lighting up I was told Instructions would be sent for repair I never received them.
4 ★I have this unit for week, I don't have any problem to connect wifi or setup the Bluair Classic 580i dual protection. Since the purifier built-in auto fan but does not have the sleep mode, the app as additional feature I can set "Sleep Schedule" to low the fan speed at night. The indoor/outdoor air quality indicates inaccurate. I have air purifier in every room in my house, this Bluair Classic 580i PM 2.5 always shows 40 microns and above. Who knows, unless you have a good air quality detector.
4 ★It took several attempts, but I was finally able to get three Blueair air purifiers to connect to our wireless network. The trick is to reset the air purifier after each attempt that does not work by unplugging the unit and plugging it in again. That puts the unit in a known state that corresponds to the instructions. The instructions for connecting a unit in manual mode refer to network called 'classic-config.' I got a network with a much longer name, but fortunately I did not need it.
1 ★The PM 2.5 readings on the brand new i-series units are defective. The app keeps showing <1 readings with no change in central London. This is London, and such readings for unfiltered air is quite impossible. Seen this defect on two different models from the 200 and 400 series. The app occasionally shows a valid reading and then pops back incorrectly to <1. Seems to be a defective app.
2 ★I couldn't connect my two air purifiers to the app on Android (used two different devices) as the app displayed a red cross where the network name should be and the Next button was inactive. However, I borrowed an iOS device and that registered them ok. After this, both air purifiers then showed up in the Android app and could be controlled fine from then on. So if you are an Android user, suggest you have an iOS device handy just to connect new purifiers to your network!
1 ★Very poor experience. Interface used to be more functional and looked premium. Now we have some unescesary patricle animation and confusing graphs. Setting the device (480i) is very tricky and only successful in manual mode after many takes. Not to mention that after cleaning the clogged sensor you have to contact Blueair Sweden to restart it remotely otherwise it will show incorrect readings. Faulty design of both unit and App makes me want to replace all my puryfiers and go Winix (way better).
5 ★Works fine. Like any WiFi-connected device without a sophisticated UI of its own, the initial setup process is inevitably going to be a little bit finicky, but follow the instructions very carefully ( noting the distinction between blinking and fading, 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz, making sure Android doesn't reject the Wifi connection to the Air Purifier SSID because it 'doesn't have internet access' etc), and it'll pair up just fine.
1 ★It's just not as simple to connect the device to the app. Maybe a more detailed instruction on how to connect would be helpful? First the app wouldn't even locate my network until I've added my city n country in the profile. Then a lot of replies to the lower ratings tell me to turn location services to help make it work, which by the way still doesn't. The network Classic_config doesn't appear as a network for me to connect to. Will uninstall if I still can't connect in a few more attempts.
1 ★Total and utter waste of time! Useless app and zero connectivity. Spent 105min following their instructions and cannot connect my devices via wifi to app. Constantly "times out" while "connecting" and the process has to be started again. Infuriating when I've spent several thousand RMB for 2 of their "premium" units. WHY DONT YOU TEST YOUR SOFTWARE BEFORE SELLING THEM!?!?!?! There is a reason your app scores 2.2 oo 5! Official Blueair CN email address does not work and neither does QQ chat!
