  • Great app, does not have NOAA alerts

    The app is easy to use and accurate.
    I have 2 issues, one minor, the other major

    MAJOR ISSUE TO FIX: Please add NOAA alerts to your area when they are issued. Weather underground and Fox 10 Phoenix weather app both show these as a push notification and also a map overlay (winter storm, high wind, etc.). This is important where we live. Due to this issue, I am forced to jump around to other apps to get the alerts. Very disappointing.

    MINOR ISSUE: when on the dashboard, and then click on forecast icon, it changes to nearest location unless I go to MAP, and click on the weather station dot, THEN ,click on the forecast page. This is a minor issue because I have a work around. If I don’t do this, then it provides inaccurate forecast data from a distant location.

    Radar is very accurate, slow to respond and have to leave radar or page to refresh

  • Great Overall App (Please make an Apple Watch Version)

    Love the app, the dashboard view allows me to view all my temperature sensors easily. Would really love an Apple Watch app to access at least the basic info when away from my phone.
  • App locked up

    Unable to change screen. In search location it put in the incorrect address. Unable to change.
  • Won’t rotate for graphs

    I’ve had my ambient weather system for several years now and it seems that not to long ago something got switched and now when I rotate my phone to a landscape position to get a better view of the graphs, it will rotate and then rotate back and lock in the portrait position.
    I saw something about this in one of the updates but apparently it didn’t affect my phone. I would like to be able to view the graphs in the landscape position.

  • Good app but has issues

    Great app for showing local weather stations and providing real time information. HOWEVER, when a new trending post appears, it blocks off the map on iphone and when i swipe it away, i cant zoom in or out (let-alone move the map at all) Please fix this issue and thank you in advance.
  • Always wanted one

    Easy to put together. Easy to mount easy to use great i the phone app is very easy to install
  • Mostly good

    This app works well and is a convenient place to see weather conditions at a glance. I gave it a lower star rating because of the rainfall dashboard. The longer you have it, the more useless it gets. This is because it shows current rainfall rate, daily, event, week, month and total. The ‘Total’ section totally wrecks the chart, as it shows total rainfall since you installed the rain gauge. So the other timeframes are just a tiny blip on the chart. Something like trailing 12 month or YTD would be much more useful.

  • Can’t get any actual support.

    My Ambient Weather app perfectly until New Year’s Eve 2022. It’s now January 9, and I still haven’t been able to get in touch with anyone at Ambient Weather to help troubleshoot my problem. The issue is that my rain tile does not respond to the X/plus icon being touched. The minus icon to remove the tile also does not respond to touch. I have deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times with reboots in between. I have received one email today at 3 PM when they are just getting ready to leave for the day and today I got one call at 2 o’clock when I was on a conference call for work. I sure would like it if somebody would actually make a point of trying to reach out and support this.

  • Very helpful app for my PWS

    only complaint is the graphics are a bit cheesy, especially the rain gauges.
  • AWN wireless thermometer and sensors

    Properly hooked up it allows me to track the temperature of my pool and house, inside and out, even when I am away from home. Have recommended to friends and family and bought some a gifts. Easy to hook up and as reliable as your ISP.
