Leave a Review Tempest Weather
Paid $300 for the hardware, software is hidden
The hardware is $300 but when I open the app, there is no way to display that data. Instead, it shows you the general weather. If you click another button, you can EVENTUALLY get to the weather station that you just dropped $300 for, but there is no display upon opening the app. This could EASILY be fixed with a setting that says “ what would you like to display when opening the app: the weather or your weather station data” such a shame
Update:
App developer replied saying the weather shows is from my station. Clearly the person replying does not use the app. it is in fact, not from my station, but an aggregative data which it clearly says when you open. For example, how can my personal station “predict” weather for the next 10 days. That’s not possible. Get better product support people that have actually use the app! unfortunately, this review will go nowhere because the person receiving the interview is the problem and there’s no way to get in contact with the company itself.Show lesstmdaman

Hi tmdaman, the current conditions displayed on the home screen are from your weather station. You can tap that box for even more data and graphs/charts, etc. If you saved other forecast locations, the app will show you the last location you were viewing.Wonderful app and device
Love them both!! I knocked one star off because it doesn’t have a radar map. Would be the perfect addition so I can ditch my other weather app completely!! Tempest - Please seriously consider adding the radar map and air quality reading to this app. Also, severe weather alerts (storms,hurricane,tornado,air quality,etc) are desperately needed! I love that your app shows it, but never alerts me to any warnings or watches. I would finally be able to ditch my other weather app if these were added. I wouldn’t pay a subscription, as I do use your weather station and love it!! I think this is an important addition(s) to your app. Besides that, it works great!Show lesssMyNickname

Thanks for your great review! We hear you loud and clear on the radar suggestion.Not very accurate
Update Aug 8: On Aug 6 I deleted the app and redownload it. I had to sign back into it. After doing so, the app detected the "heavy rain" we were getting along with the lightning. The rainfall showed nearly 4 inches on Aug 5 which sounde more in line with what I was observing. It seems to require the extra effort to delete, download and sign back in instead of just clicking the Update button.
Aug 5, 2024: Its been pouring down rain, street flooding and made national news as we are experiencing Hurricane Debby weather conditions since yesterday. App says we received 2 inches today and 3 inches yesterday. Its 11pm. There is a good foot of water covering the road in front of our house and up into our driveway. As I am typing this it is pouring down buckets, thunder and lightning yet app is showing "none" (rain) with the last rain captured as being 27 min ago and lightning 3 hours ago. The Tempest online map shows hundreds of Tempest stations down our FL west coast and about 40 stations within 15 miles of us. I clicked on the UPDATE button for the app and that didn't help. I find it strange the app cant offer more accurate information about the amount of rain that is falling and has fallen since yesterday.Show lesssandimacd
