  • Excellent app

    Thanks for fixing landscape mode on iPad so quickly!

    This app does an excellent job of letting me keep track of my additional sensors that don’t appear on the main console. I keep an old iPad mini set up just below the console and it works great. Landscape mode is required for my setup so I was happy to see the new update fixed that problem.

    My only wish is to be able to place the tiles in a custom order so I can have the ones I am most interested in grouped together.

  • Good until last update

    I purchased the WS-2000 station a few months ago. Spent quite a bit of time registering and creating my station name and then making sure it was visible to the public. Also created a log in and handle. Everything was all set and working very well. I shared the link for the station to friends and family so they could see the weather reports also. HOWEVER With the past update I have been kicked out and can no longer log in and the system does not recognize my email. Even going to the “help” page to see what I can get done there. Nope, have to log in to ask a question! I want to be connected to MY weather station again and I cannot get it done.

  • The bright splash screen (at night) detracts from the improved functionality

    The new app design is nice but I hope the developers will change the splash screen. Starting up the app in a dark room basically flashes you before the welcomed dark mode kicks in.

    Aside from the bright white screen at startup the app lets you easily customize your data display including the choice of light or dark background that can automatically switch by time of day.

    Besides the splash screen, the only other improvement that I’d recommend is for a small annoyance dealing with the manual refresh mechanism. Currently you pull down on the screen or are sometimes given the option to press on the small text displaying the time passed since the last update. On an iPad the I constantly pull down over the map which just moves the area being displayed on the map instead of refreshing. Maybe a dedicated refresh button would work better.

  • Best Weather App

    I’ve finally found a replacement for Weather Underground. Also, my weather stations connect flawlessly.
  • Been a year

    Been a year since I purchased this expensive weather station and it hasn’t worked right yet. Warranty coverage is good. Which is great because I’m going to have to contact them AGAIN after receiving a replacement.
  • PLEASE ADD WIDGETS

    I think the app works great and is very easy to use. I am able to easily locate the data i want from my weather station very quickly.

    With the introduction of home screen widgets last year, I was hopeful to eventually see a customizable widget that could be added to the Home Screen. That never came throughout the year, and now with the release of Lock Screen widgets I am again disappointed to not see one. Please consider adding these features; while they may seem minor, they are the difference between 4 and 5 stars.

  • Works well

    It works well most of the time. Every once in awhile you have to reload it but overall works well.
  • Best weather station

    Really enjoying the ambient weather station. Can monitor weather from multiple interfaces and integrates with Alexa.
  • Transcontinental observation

    We snowbird out of Texas to rural Maine and stay on top of the local situation both indoors and out back home. My Texas neighbors appreciate the details of the reports when rare rain events are available!!
  • Most improved

    Over the years I’ve had this app, all the problems I’ve cited have been addressed. It performs quickly and well. Great job!
