V1.1.25 update breaks app

Upgrade warning never goes away. App now useless.

Better than just a web interface (but not much)

Basically an app version of the web interface - so not much to offer. It would be great to have useful iOS functions like widgets (ideally interactive) and the possibility of Siri integration (e.g., “hey Siri, what’s the temperature on my Ecowitt station?”).

Please add a widget

This app would be much more useful if it had an optional Home Screen widget.

It would also be nice if it supported IFTTT

Please add Widget

I would love to see the rainfall amount on my home screen. Please add widget support.

Fantastic App

Easy to set up and monitor all the different sensors in and around the house, it is now easier to check the app than get up and look at the weather station screen! Brilliant to be able to keep an eye on things when away from home.
My only wish is that the most recent image from the HP10 camera was the first image on the screen rather than having to scroll to the end :)

Absolute garbage

Makes you register without giving any reason to do so and then just shows a spinning icon.
The in app ‘help’ just says “There is no answer?”
I’m trying to use it with a GW1100 gateway
I’ve had to setup the gateway manually via the built in web ui. There is no way to tell the app what IP the gateway is using. It attempts to discover it and fails every time

Wish it was more user friendly

I’m grateful for the app and it serves it purpose but setup for the gateway is a serious process and not easy at all. Also, while the app crudely offers “alerts” that you can set for something like the moisture meter, it only sends an email to you and does not offer push notifications. This is not helpful and seems very antiquated. This app has enormous potential but it’s poorly thought out. Doesn’t feel like it even belongs in the iOS ecosystem. Hopefully it’ll improve over time.

No IOT connection

Primitive at best. System and devices worked fine and are priced nicely, but no connection to any IOT or IFTTT. This vastly reduces its usefulness.

Good but could be improved

This has good information and charts, not quite sure why minimum update time is 1 minute when sensor array is much shorter? Landscape view seems inactive using iOS 16 for me, I would like to see larger text for main temp, rainfall etc, or better still an option to display this. Keep developing this please, lots more to come I hope.

Having to sign in is annoying

I keep having to sign into this app. Why can’t it remember it?
