I have to keep logging in
Since the last update I’ve had to log in over an over. I’ve been using this for 3 years and haven’t had this problem until now. Luckily I can use my saved passwords to get back in.
Also is there a way to see rainfall total history for past months and years? In Southern California, the rainy season resets October 1st. Could you please add the ability to reset it on that date?

Still happening
Why is this forcing portrait on my iPad mini, even with mode lock engaged to landscape, even tho your release notes say you fixed it?

Ambient Weather makes the best personal weather stations!
I’ve been using a WS-1401 weather station since 2015, and just upgraded to the WS-5000. Never suffered a problem that AW support couldn’t help me trouble shoot and fix with the older station, and the accuracy and ease of set up with the new station is unbeatable!

Great weather app for WS-2000
I have the Ambient weather station WS-2000 for over a year now and use the AWN weather app. This is a great app to see what is going on with the weather at your house but also when you’re away from home. Away from home I keep especially an eye on the temperature outside and in the house, as well in the attic and the garage and the amount of rain. Of course there is a lot of other information to look at.
This app is also great to keep an eye on the weather at other weather stations when you’re traveling.
Overall a very good app.

Don’t buy ambient
If you change Internet providers, you have to throw away your Ambient system. It is impossible to set up the weather station if you change providers. The hours of hoops, extra ambient tools apps, and nope, will not function. Wast of money. Buy someone else’s product that actually functions properly.

Forced obsolescence
So ambient weather are forcing people to upgrade perfectly functioning weather station consoles.

They are going to stop wi-fi connection of perfectly working WS-2902 consoles and if you want to continue getting online weather updates from your own station you have to buy a new WS-2902D console.

Why AWN are you doing this? It's screwing over customers who have heavily invested in your weather stations and extra sensors etc over the years, you are just receiving data over wifi / internet for your database/app. Why not just have a firmware update instead to keep the WS-2902 running ok for your new "specs" ?

Imagine the thousands of WS-2902 weather consoles out there, what a horrible company policy and environmentally bad idea.

Useless without landscape mode
I have been using this app for a couple of years now and it is nearly perfect. All of the information for my Ambient thermometers is always available at a glance. Much nicer than waiting for my base display to cycle through all of the sensors that I have and I can see what’s going on with the temperature when I am not home. I only have two requests to make it better.

1. Allow dark mode
2. Make an Apple Watch app

Needs Widget and watch complications
The app is pretty cool but really misses some strides because there is no widget or Apple Watch app. WU and some of the other apps that can display the data also have done away with these features which is sad because some of the ambient competitors have these features. 3 stars until this app gets with the times!

Great app but one thing..
Update - the devolopers must read our reviews! Only 2 days after writing the original review below I saw where the app was updated. So happy to see it stay in landscape mode like it used to. Thank you devs!

I use the app daily to view the data from my weather station. For some reason with the latest update it has become difficult to use with my iPad - it’s in portrait mode now where it used to be in landscape mode. Strange thing is that the splash screen is in landscape mode but the quickly changes to portrait mode. Then I have to now rotate my iPad to view. Is this something that can be changed back to the way it was?
