Too Bad I Can’t Rate This Lower
Awful awful piece of rubbish app. Can’t get it to work with my Acurite Atlas. This thing wants to be an all around home control app and has forsaken the one thing they were good at — weather stations. I try to add my Atlas into Now and it won’t see the outside sensor even though the app,does see the bridge device on the network.
I was dumb and deleted the MyAcurite app from my iPad before I had Now working. Certainly regretting that mistake. Luckily I still had MyAcurite on my phone, but I can’t get the Weather Underground reporting working.
What the heck are you doing, Acurite? Why have you forsaken us?
When I first bought the Atlas, I had it working in under 30 minutes after hardware installation. At this point, I’ve spent 14 hours banging against this trying to get it working again. The only reason I fiddled with it in the first place is that I moved.
This thing is hours away from going in the trash and I’ll buy something else from someone else.
Hate hate hate this new app. Hate it.

Vibe coded trash
There is no way to name sensors, the graphs look terrible and are now tiny and unhelpful. Real disappointment. After several months, the developers have made zero improvements.
Good first attempt.
App seems to have many bugs. Does not provide detailed information as previous app. Does not seem to be focused on users needs.
Worst App Upgrade EVER!!!
I cannot figure out how the AcuRite app developers think this is an improvement from the “old” app. AcuRite NOW sees only 1 of 3 of my devices and it shows a rogue device that isn’t part of my weather tracking system (I would know more if the new app recognized my custom device names instead generically naming the devices). And the graphs in NOW are void of visual markers and are overall worthless. If AcuRite decides to force all of their longtime customers/users to a massively inferior product, I will be the first to trash my devices and find another company. There are plenty out there.

This app SUCKS!!!!!!
This app is terrible! My Acurite is so much better and will use as long as I can then get a whole new system. With new app I can’t set home location and help screens tell me to go to Me screen and select Home Management but that is not an option. All I have on Me screen is devices and sensors- can’t be much worse that getting instructions you can’t even follow - What a POS!!!!!

Worthless
Tried to use the app and it is unable to find my weather station about 100’ away. I would give a minus stars if possible. What a horrible downgrade. I purchased a different station and have removed the device and app. Very poor change to what was a really good station and app.
Sometimes newer isn’t better
Simply stated, the previous app My AcuRite is hands-down better and provides more information. If that same capability is not migrated to this new app I will look for a different weather station and platform, even though I have been with AcuRite for over 20 years.
Weather Station good
App is total garbage it looks like you tried to make it do everything so now it does nothing.
Difficult
The new app doesn’t have near the information as the old one. I am changing to another system that is easier to deal with
Terrible App
Replaced a pretty good app with a completely terrible one. Appears to only be for mobile devices but nothing for desktops.
App
This new app sucks it’s missing information doesn’t show all the info from the old app. My rainfall is way off compared to old app. There’s extra steps to get to my weather station instead of my station being the main thing when you open it. It doesn’t show the local predicted weather forecast. My lighting sensor doesn’t show up. I might have to get a different brand weather station if they don’t fix this app.
Overall really unhappy, using old app until they stop it

Terrible New App
This new AcuRite app is a joke of an upgrade. If I could give it 0 stars I would. The dramatic reduction in data available on this app compared to the My Acurite is a disservice to their customers. If you are thinking about getting an AcuRite product for data, don’t. The AcuRite team better think twice before disabling the older app. DO NOT sunset the old app until this new app has the same amount of data or more. There is no separate iPad app and the layout is terrible.

What a terrible app
Title says it all.
AcuRite go back to the old app NOW!
The owners of AcuRite should be ashamed of themselves. This 'new and improved' app has so many issues. The weather history appears to not even be for my weather station. Got a half inch of rain and the logs show zero. Similar errors with the wind speed. Also looks like it was written by a first year programming student.

Wish I could go back to old app
It use to be great to know where all my sensors were located, with this new app I can no longer name each sensor. Maybe it will be fixed in the near future.
Sucks
AcuRite NOW is TERRIBLE! Graphing does not work. Time of day is off. No forecasting.
Go back to MyAcurite!
Junk…
Ok so AcuRite figured out that they can’t scale to hold a year of data and want some $$ to support their cloud storage.
I’m fine with having MyAcurite and a month of data.
Getting a horrible UX, less features (wind speed can’t even be set to knots), pushing lots of garbage ads like the “mall” is insulting.
Time for a different brand!

Miss the old app
This app is terrible compared to the old My AcuRite app. Taking the old one off the market was a disgrace.
New is awful
The old app worked great. This one is terrible. There is no documentation of error messages. The historical data is not accurate.
Useless
Take a useful, functional weather app that shows your weather station data at a glance and replace it with useless crapware.
