So laggy it’s useless
I love the Ambient Weather hardware, but....
This app is completely useless on an iPad Mini 2 and a frustration on my iPhone 7.
Strangely, the same information and interface accessed via their web portal in safari is usable (although it too lags badly).
Both systems seem to load only the data visible on the screen as it’s needed so it just hangs as the screen scrolls, especially on slower connections.
It would be much better if data were preprocessed and then passed as a complete “package” to the app which then used a background task to have it ready for presentation. Right now it looks like it does everything in the foreground on demand so the user has to wait every time they scroll.
As features have been added it’s got worse and worse. Maybe time for a whole new app with some thought about optimizing for slower data links.

Don’t bother
Horrible user interface. Trying to finger scroll information is a exercise in frustration! You just want to scroll the information in the “Quick View” tile, and most of the time the page scrolls instead to try to refresh the data instead! Tiles are too big and take way too much space forcing you scroll around to see data, but again the page bounces to refresh mode instead again. Do the software writers test their crappy work? Ever? I guess not.
