Old app way better
Very hard to set up! Different reading on phone than home device. No one to call you have to chat which sucks!
You Suck
Pretty simple, AcuRite your app sucks!!

Lagging behind.
Weather station works great. The temp, wind speed, rainfall all work and update great. But the barometric pressure seems to be stuck on one reading and the latest connection is behind real time by 1 hr. Company says they are aware of the issue but doesn’t seem to be fixing it.
Unreal Downgrade
First App Store review I’ve left since the release of the iPhone - that’s how annoyed I am.
I genuinely don’t understand how AcuRite managed to take such an enormous step backwards. My AcuRite wasn’t perfect, but it was vastly superior to AcuRite NOW in virtually every way that matters. The old app was functional, information-dense, intuitive, and actually felt like software designed for people who own weather stations.
AcuRite NOW feels like someone took a proper weather dashboard and crammed it into a tiny widget. Instead of opening the app and getting full-sized graphs, detailed historical data, and useful weather information at a glance, everything has been shrunk down into these little tiles that waste most of the screen. The GUI has that generic, AI-generated smart-home aesthetic: lots of empty space, little bubbles and widgets, and dramatically less useful information actually visible. It somehow manages to look more “modern” while being substantially worse at displaying weather data.
Even more baffling, I can’t even change the units to metric. I live in Canada. This is a WEATHER APP. Being able to use Celsius, km/h and millimetres isn’t some obscure enthusiast feature; it is absolutely basic functionality.
I honestly can’t remember ever seeing an app take such a massive step backwards in both form and function. My AcuRite already worked. AcuRite should have modernized it, improved the graphs and built upon what customers already liked. Instead, they replaced a genuinely useful weather dashboard with what feels like a generic smart-home control panel that displays your weather station as an afterthought.
AcuRite, your customers bought WEATHER STATIONS. We want graphs, trends, history and detailed weather data, not a tiny weather widget floating around inside a generic IoT app.
My AcuRite set the benchmark you needed to improve upon. AcuRite NOW doesn’t even come close to matching it.
An astonishing downgrade. 1/5.

JUNK!
Absolutely a DOWNGRADE from the original “My AcuRite” app. Absolute garbage!! I hope we’re not all forced to use this junk anytime soon. There’s no history, not even half the information of the previous app. This would be a total let down of the AcuRite company to make this app replace the previous.

Terrible
The old app is far superior to the new AcuRite NOW app.
Garbage - A substantial setback
I don’t understand how this happens in 2026. All of the useful features including the ability to graph temps over specific time periods have disappeared. They also want you to pay for doing the public service of reporting crowd-sourced weather data to WU. There is absolutely no customer support.
Terrible
Like many other reviews here, this is a massive downgrade from the old app. Please reverse your decision to replace the old app with this one.
1000% worse than old app
In the My AcuRite App I am able to name the 3 individual sensors that I have — outdoor, basement, living room.
In the new app they all have the same generic name.
Useless.
I continue to use the old app, and if that gets shuttered at some point then I throw all the sensors in the garbage or try to sell them on eBay.

Poor App
The new app is not nearly as good as the MyAcurite app. Don’t know what’s supposed to be better in the new app because it’s certainly not apparent. Love the AcuRite weather stations as I’m on my 2nd unit but don’t understand the new app at all.
Awful
More than awful. Waste of time if you want access with phone. Get another station!
Acurite
Piss poor.
Horrible app
I am new to weather stations. After purchasing an Atlas weather stations, I downloaded this app and set it up.
Setting up the station was simple enough. The app, however, leaves a lot to be desired. The UI is awful. The data display is minimal at best; I get more from looking at the display than the app. Things I needed to change or setup are buried in the app with no clear direction to find them. Lots of buttons don’t even do anything. It’s like they through it together, didn’t finish it and released it.
Worse, in order to broadcast to Weather Underground, I had to go to the old My AcuRite site to activate sharing. WHY isn’t this in the new app? Also nowhere in the setup does it tell you this. I found it quite by accident after digging through google for a bit.
The MY AcuRite website is amazing-WAY better dashboard and data given, and so much easier to make changes. Not sure who thought getting rid of this app was a good idea.
I’m using My AcuRite’s site until I can’t anymore.
Please, please FIX the AcuRite Now app. It’s virtually useless.

Horrible UI; can't rename sensors so all are the same. I idea I need to upgrade to share with WU (something I already used to do) is bizarre.
Still 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.
Downgrade and $ grab
I “upgraded” to the new app after being perfectly happy with the previous My AcuRite app for the past decade . After installing the new and deleting the old, I realize there is no way to get historical data - without paying for a subscription! I’ve been a loyal AcuRite customer for years and paid good money for their weather stations for them now to remove functionality from what a paid for. I’ll never use their products again!

Upgrade Fail
Old app was much better.
Needs a lot of work
The new version is pretty, but otherwise, I hate it.
Terrible!
As others have said, keep the old app. The old app is feature rich while this one is primitive and clunky, like it was designed by a five year old.
