Half-assed and just awful

This is the most useless app I've seen in a long time. The old one worked fine. With this new one, you can't label your sensors, you can't see temperature plots, none of your old info migrates so you have to set it all up again, and the focus is on trying to upsell you into additional unneeded/unwanted services. How bad can a company despise its customers? Seriously.

Useless on iPad

Please do not shut down MyAcurite. That app presents essential data from all my sensors on one screen without feeling cluttered. AcuRite NOW on the other hand simulates a tiny iPhone screen in middle of the iPad screen, basically wasting 95% of the large screen. Instead of sufficient overview of all sensors at once, you have to click endlessly and select one sensor and one metric at the time. It’s not a reasonable replacement for the old app that is actually very useful.

Garbage!

The previous app is far superior to this. Totally unintuitive interface. I hope they pull this version, regroup and get some real beta testers. At least I can still use the website in Safari for now...

Awful app

I have the Accurite Access 5 in 1 weather station. Since upgrading to this new version of the app, I have been unable to access my weather information from the app. Keeps saying data acquisition failed, add location info; which is already there. I am looking for a different brand weather station after spending a lot of time troubleshooting the issue

Not an upgrade to original

The app looks nice, but doesn't function as well as the original app, and doesn't even include all of the info from the weather station that the original app did.

A shame.

Terrible app

The old app worked much better without paying 19.95 a year fee. This app tries to do to much by connecting to all home automation devices. Hard to use. Don’t recommend

Terrible App! Part 3

Update 2: Given that the “new transition” of 11/4 is scheduled to happen in 2 days, without a worthwhile update released and zero preparatory communication, it looks like Chaney has sealed its fate with its loyal base. Too bad. Update 1: This app is still terrible and is virtually useless compared to its predecessor. And now we’ve been mandated a 10/7/26 cutoff to My AcuRite with ZERO updates to this TERRIBLE AcuRite Now app for 3 months! I’m currently exploring PWS alternatives!

10 year user - not happy

I have had 6 sensors (inside and out) and a 5 in 1 attached to the side of the cabin for 10 years. Loved the accuracy and intuitive/simple design of the legacy app. This new app is terrible. Difficult and bulky to navigate. Apparently the legacy app will be discontinued in two days…so I was forced to switch. I hope the old app stays live.

And another thing…I was a reporting station for our small mountain community through weather underground. The new app wants me to pay for this privilege. What an insult.

Accurate now is no good for legacy devices

Accurate now is no good for legacy devices .
My AcuRite works much better.
I know they suppose to do away with My AcuRite this week. But it will not work with my weather station . Keeps saying I need to set home, but it won’t let me.
Thank goodness my device also is connected to weather underground, which works great.

Old app better

This app doesn’t even do what the old app did. Poorly built and designed.

AL’ Weather Station

No software updates, goes offline too often.

Garage

They are discontinuing use of the old app. The new one will not connect no matter how many times you plug in your code off of your Wi-Fi device.

Unfortunately, they are discontinuing support on the old one.

Terrible new app

This app is terrible. I would say you need to fire who ever created this app. Once you fire that developer you need to start over. By the looks of the other reviews I would say 100% of your users agree.

Worst app “upgrade”

This is by far the worst app “upgrade” I have ever seen. Less data, historical reports awful, unable to share stations with other users, and management refuses to respond to feedback other than once saying it’s a new app and they are still working things out. They need to look at the fact that this app has a 1 star average rating. Old app was great.

Old app is better

The old app provided better information and was easier to read. Regret buying my weather station and having to use this terrible app.

BAD CALL BY ACURITE PRODUCT TEAM

In the past six years, my experience with AcuRite deserved a top rating. Unfortunately, since the ”upgrade” to the AcuRite Now app, I can no longer give a favorable rating.
Whomever thought this new “upgrade“ would be beneficial is highly mistaken.
Since May I have been assessing the app, it is fraught with inaccuracies.
I have opened several tickets they replied that my information would be passed on for review or issues will be addressed in future updates.
This new app is unacceptable and may lead to AcuRite’s unfavorable market share in this category.

Awful App…Awful customer Service

Look elsewhere. I have no idea why the company is switching to this new app. No cumulative data. Missing data. I’ve tried to get support and Selene is absolutely worthless for assistance. No one to speak with, just meaningless email messages.

Poor Data Presentation

The graph function is severely limited compared to the old app. This needs to updated there is no time chart on the x-axis.

A huge step back from My AcuRite

I have been happily using My AcuRite for years. Now I’m being forced to switch to this app that is so much worse. It displays less information and is not optimized for IPad so the display is IPhone sized and difficult to navigate. Why this totally unacceptable change?

Not an upgrade

The old app worked great. I have looked at the new one and on my iPad it is just a small area. Can’t see names of all my sensors and I have the maximum . If it isn’t fixed quickly (or let me stay on legacy) I may look at a different weather station/system.
