  • Good app, but please update for iOS 9.

    iOS 9 update.
  • won’t connect, crashes

    had it working, sort of. It would show current conditions, try to download history, and crash as download completed. I uninstalled and re-installed. It can no longer find the base station and crashes when searching for it. Decent stand alone unit but don’t buy if you want the iPhone features.
  • Works Okay but...

    No longer works with iOS 9. Will change it back to 3 Stars when they fix it.

    Seems that only one iOS device can pair up to it. Have not been able to get a second iDevice to pair up.

    The min/max temperatures don't jive. Sometimes it will have a max of 40 and a min of 30 and show the current temperature as 43. 43 should be the max not 40.

    Same mix and max problem for temperature and humidity.

    I have sensors on channel 4 & 5 that are barometric capable remote sensors, however can't display that info on the app. It only shows temperature and humidity for them.

    I am using an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.

    Overall a very good product and idea but just needs some refinements.
  • Update for iOS 9

    This app worked great on iOS 8. It now crashes on iOS 9. Please update this ASAP.
  • Not Compatible w/ iOS 9

    This app worked fine with iOS 8, but crashes with iOS 9.
  • User

    It hangs repeatedly, for me several times a day. Hitting the reset button on the base unit fixes the problem for a while, and it pairs, and fortunately doesn't lose any of the data stored I'm memory. It would be nice if you could do more with the data within the app or at least export it so you could work with it in Excel or something. Definitely in need of an update.
  • Just see "loading" 😒

    After purchasing the Oregon Scientific product, and pairing it with my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.3 successfully... Everything was working fine for the first 6 hours and it was great! I was so excited because this solution was exactly what I was looking for! Then I left the house (Bluetooth on the weather station lost contact with my phone) and when I came back home and tried to see the temperature on the app, all I was able to see was "loading". The Bluetooth connection did establish (because I saw the icon blink), but no data was being transmitted to my iPhone to render on the app. All batteries on the Oregon Scientific products are fresh and new and the transmitter is always within 15 to 20 feet of my iPhone, so this is clearly an issue with the app.

    If you are looking to purchase a product that does what this product advertises, then I would advise looking elsewhere.
  • POC

    It flat doesn't work. Worked for 10 minutes and now nada. I hope the the information in the base unit is accurate. I wouldn't bet the farm though.
  • Does not work with iOS 8...

    ...at all. I had to uninstall the app to get the base station to resume functioning properly--after resetting it.
  • Crashes when trying to connect to station!

    I got the app and the BAR218HG device recently, but when trying to connect to the device, it will instantly crash. When the mobile mode on the device is off, the app will say it isn't found. Same with Bluetooth being turned off. It will crash only when it does recognize the device. What's up with that?
