Quit working - now very intermittent
I’ve had my weather station over a year and love it. Got one for my brother at the same time - same! We have used this app since commissioning the stations, and it is detailed, easy, user-friendly. Until just a couple of weeks ago. Now, a hit or Miss, usually miss. Locks up to the white screen. Support tried to say it was my iPhone (it does work on my iPad) but every other app works. Then, it quit on my brother’s brand new iPhone 14. Also, same day, quit on my son’s who lives in their hometown of Phoenix. I had initial response from the developer but once it is proven that it is a problem with the app, no further communication. I use the app PWS Monitor, which is very good and easier to switch between stations. I hate to say goodbye to AWS but an app without support is useless.Show lessN3GXQ
App is unreliable
I like the weather station well enough, and the app is fine - when it works. However, there have been several times when I’ve been away from home and the app was suddenly unable to connect to the station. Since being able to check the weather at home remotely was a main reason for my purchase, this is disappointing. The first few times it simply stopped updating, and I had to contact tech support to get it working again. More recently I got nothing but a white screen when opening the app. Rebooting the phone and reinstalling the app did not work - I had to unplug power from the unit and reboot it - not something I can do remotely, so again I was unable to check conditions when away from home.Show lessBabbchuck
App stopped working after update/ no tech support
The app stopped working after the update one week ago. I notified Ambient Weather about the problem, app will initiate the logo pops up then it goes to white screen and stays there. But no one has responded. I’ve read that others have had this issue as well. The station works and the app works on my iPad but it’s really more convenient to use the app on my iPhone. My iPhone has plenty of memory and a strong internet connection. The company should have responded by now. A week is just unacceptable given the price of the weather station. Also, the lighting detector is almost useless at all settings. I’ve tried multiple settings on the Reddit page but none works for me. The best setting I found is hit or miss. I got 67 strikes when a major storm hit then the next day two large strikes hit directly over my house but the detector didn’t catch them. That’s an expensive device that I really regret buying. There’s also a bit of deception from the company involving being able to use the desktop to track the information from the station. In the pictures on the site it shows all three devices, phone, tablet and computer as usable for tracking but you’ll need to pay extra to use it on your computer. In hindsight I think I would have gone with a different system.Show lessMtn gardener 451
App not loading after upgrade
Like another reviewer mentioned, since the last update I’ve found the app no longer loads. Reinstalling the app helped but then stopped working again after a day or soalbertasky

Low grade generic graphics
This app has low grade generic graphics, quite a bit of a bug issues, and what makes this weather station an app bottom tier it no longer’s work with Google Home devicesRzeancak
Zero support, complicated set-up, and no alternative ways to Mount weather station.
I was given this weather station for my birthday. I have been wanting one for a long time and was extremely excited to finally call myself an owner. Unfortunately the set up was extremely difficult. It took two days for me and my partner to figure out how to connect the device to WiFi. There were no support videos for the model I received. Called the support line and got no answer. Fortunately I figured out the WiFi and finally have the station ready to mount, but it doesn't fit on my fence post.... there is no other way to mount the station, and it won't fit on the fence posts on my particular fence. Now I am forced to either, drive a new fence post into the ground or make some make shift smaller post. I don't understand why they wouldn't make this universal to all fence posts. If the hardware to connect to fence post was a little bigger, my weather station would be mounted. Because the company didn't do enough product research and development I am left with yet another road bump in setting up this system. I have invested far to much time and energy and still don't have a working weather station. I am ready to return this product and try another company with better customer service and product development. I am extremely disappointed with my experience and will never buy another Weather Ambient product. Hope this helps someone not make the same mistakes I did. Good luck!Show lessabcdefghijklmnop771183005
The weather is constantly changing
So far my station is working very well. First thing, you need a pole to mount the station on. This is not included, but very important. Second, it is somewhat easy to assemble if you follow the instructions. Programing it to connect to the internet is another story. Be patient and with trial and error you will figure it out and you will be happy with the results.Show less%@#$45
