Find a different company
I’ve had the weather station for 2 years and the app has worked ok because it is pretty simplistic. I recently had to change routers and have been unable to connect since then. My WiFi is set to 2.4 & I’ve followed the instructions with no results. I’ve deleted & reinstalled the app, restarted the Weather station console and still no results. In looking at the apps version history it has been 2 years since it was up dated. My guess is that they’ve got new units & have dropped support.
If you’re looking at Weather stations, try a different company. From my experience (frustration) and other’s reviews, the company is not worth beans.

Downloaded the tool again to try and see if things have changed but the app is useless. It can’t even get past the first Add Device screen and it either freezes or crashes.Show lessHuckleberry Surveyor
App makes hardware junk
Had the Ambient Weather WA-2902b for 2.5 years and stayed synced to WiFi with no problems. We recently switched routers and it is literally impossible to connect without reverting back to iOS 10 or earlier. App is SO out of date and must be used to set up the weather station connectivity that you lose functionality. Hardware still connects to the display but remote viewing is never going to happen again. The app will also not allow you to change the SSID of the router. It defaults to “WiFi” and is uneditable, so you’ll never connect to WiFi.Show lessTX46Driver
CONNECTION ISSUES
Set up isa real problem. It is touch and go and instructions are confusing.Ahotnoda
Will not connect to WiFi
I reset my router and I could not get my ws2902 to connect again. It would try to use the ssid Wi-Fi. You cannot change it. I finally changed my 2.5 ssid to Wi-Fi and it connected.Bcookston
Horrible App
Purchased product with sole intent of remotely monitoring weather. App will not recognize my network or allow me to change SSID. Spoke with customer service and they ultimately said there is nothing they can do. Time and money down the drain. Steer clear of this product!!Tdfarm
NEED iOS 10 or below to work
Just confirmed today 03/21/2020 that this app will work on my old iPad 4’s iOS version 10.3.3. It works exactly like it states in the instructions... It however will NOT work on my iphone 11 max pro ios 13! Just says SSID Wi-Fi...not my networks correct SSID. Hope this helps. They need to update the app so it’s compatible with ios 13. Also it might work on versions of 11, and 12.,but I don’t have those available to try.Show lessPaDMaN1290
No good of you only have 5ghz
Terrible. Doesn’t work in a 5ghz network, and I have no option to run 2.4 GHz. Time to join the 21st Century and work with 5Ghz networks!TroyandJason
When Stops Working
Plan on taking off of work for a day or two to dedicate to trouble shooting and reset up.rhkohl48
Worked great until I replaced my router
The app is complete junk. Replaced my WiFi router and couldn’t connect this no matter what I did. The app is absolutely useless for any kind of diagnostic.skids73
Junk software
Good sensors. It lost connection with my router and after many many hours can’t get it back. Support is useless. Every time I call I get a different solution. The last is it is my router. Don’t understand that since everything else works fine and ther is a lot working just fine. Unless you are willing to spend hours frustrated with this system Don’t buyShow lessretrike
