Great product - App needs TLC
First things first - the product works great. So does the app - but there's a twist. I'm using the GW1100 gateway with moisture sensors. However, it seems that a lot of people myself included aren't able to pair the gateway with the app directly. You have to go the longer route and manually add it via embedded webpage. This is fine, it works, BUT, a huge part of having a good product is having a user friendly onboarding process. The app is just as important as the product in order for it to function. I feel like people who aren't as technically inclined might have trouble manually adding the gateway vs if the app were able to add it directly.
There must be some sort of fix that can solve this. I would love to give the app a 5 star review, but this 1 flaw leaves a bad first impression.
Anyway - looking forward to collecting valuable data! Again, great product and solid quality. The app needs TLC regarding first time setup. I really hope to see developers crank down on the bugs and UX.

Rain graph needs work
I love the app, but graphing annual rain accumulation on the same scale as weekly and monthly is not helpful . Maybe annual rainfall divided by ten??
We love anything Ecowitt
Fair price, reliable and you can add more and more accessories. And the app is detailed and customizable. Equipment and software are super reliable. Great weather station set up all around.
Unreliable garbage
Drops out and then can never reconnect
Should have got something of quality

Won’t work without location
I’m not interested in granting the app access to my location. But the app refuses to do ANYTHING unless it has permission to my location. So I briefly granted it access, got the ecowitt gateway onto my WiFi, then I deleted the app. There is really very little reason to use this app other than the first time you provision the ecowitt gateway.

Average but free
Available data seems reasonable however a few more options for rainfall data would be great! Additionally the online map only gives rain up to 100 mm. Clearly a lot of rainfall is above 100 mm. But overall not a bad app considering it’s free!
good app, needs more functionality
Very easy to use, but needs some extra graph functions (in order of priority):
- remember the last graph view (day, week, etc.). I am constantly having to select my preferred time range view.
- add a 72 hours view. This allows the comparison of the current reading with 24, 48 and 72 hrs previously. Much more useful than ‘24 hours’ or the alternative ‘week’ (too cramped and resets on sunday)
- allow user selection of the data points. For example, I would like to compare temperature readings across multiple sensors (outdoor v indoor, etc.) on the one graph.
One bug is that the graphs don’t respect the dynamic island on newer iPhones. Graph info is hidden at the top of the screen.

Very sad.
This app is so well done that it is a sad embarrassment to Weather Underground. The EcoWitt charts are exceptionally good and work the way I’d want them to work. It fetches the data quickly. The map is decent quality. It is flexible in terms of how it presents its data. It is reliable.
Pointlessly secure
Why is this app asking my username and password so often???
Do we really need this level of security to see if it’s windy?
