Pollen data point

This is an important addition to help with allergy management. Similar to Air Quality, I consider this such a personal data point that demands I give users the ability to surface it prominently.

I’m trying my best to find a solution/service to offer this. If anyone has any recommendations, please share. From my research, Google offers the most popular service but it is quite expensive: first 5000 calls in a month are free — which is okay — but then $10 for every next 1k calls. This isn't financially viable unfortunately, considering the number of days in a month and subscriber numbers. The workaround is I make this an optional subscription to limit usage, meaning even Lightning Pro subs/lifetimers have to pay extra for this... not something I feel good about, but at the same time perhaps preferable to not offering users who depend on this data the option at all. But if there are similar quality APIs that are more affordable, I’d love to know. What does everyone think?

Love this idea! As a seasonal allergy sufferer, I do like having the pollen data incorporated into the weather app to help me understand when the season is starting and how severe it is on a given day.
