Terrible App Upgrade!! Do Not Buy AcuRite!
This new app is awful! Whoever designed it should be fired immediately. Go back to the “old” app PLEASE! We are being forced to upgrade to an app that is actually a downgrade! Missing is stuff that I loved: each of my two locations were easy to access and after doing so I could see the various devices I have and they had nice labels (shop, house, lean-to, etc.), there was a site reference with my elevation and sunrise and sunset information as well as weather forecast in a neat and organized way. Now? I can’t label my individual devices, no site info, no sunrise/sunset, elevation, absolutely terrible. I have a LOT of money invested in their weather stations and this new app has ruined what was a good interface! Do not buy AcuRite until they go back to the old app!! You’ll hate it if you do!

Terrible Software
It showed my old sensors immediately. But it says I have hub but no sensors. It also tells me I have no location set, but it shows my correct location in my personal info inside the app. And the old software doesn’t have any of these problems.
Hot garbage
We’ve had AcuRite for well over 15 years. While the old app was a bit dated, this thing is awful. The data is hard to read and there is less data in general.
Also, to top it off they are trying to upsell a subscription. No thanks AcuRite, charging for things we’ve had free for years is a non starter. I’ll be finding a different product to upgrade to asap and throwing all of this stuff in the trash.
Update: AcuRite is now saying the old app will be sunset next month. I will be getting a new weather station from someone else.

Terrible
Basically rendered my legacy equipment useless, I guess they just want me to buy all new equipment. Myacurite works fine, why are you forcing me to change??
Go back to previous app
Old app worked fine. This one is garbage.
App is awful
This is the first application review I have ever submitted. That’s how awful this app is compared to the MyAccurite app it is replacing. The old app was really great. This app isn’t useful at all for a weather enthusiast who uses the app all the time. Not only is this app useless on an iPhone, when you load it on an iPad, it uses the small iPhone interface - its not even iPad compatible.

Worst of the worst!
Very hard to set up! Different reading on phone than home device. No one to call you have to chat which sucks!
Poor calculations.
The original AcuRite app is much more reliable and accurate at displaying data. This new one doesn’t even aggregate rainfall over the course of 24 hours. It only shows latest rainfall amount. I still have the old app and it’s still working thankfully.
I will probably find a different brand next time I replace the actual weather station.

Time to dump AcuRite
They have taken a solid app and ruined it. Graphing? Sucks! Interface? Looks like it was coded by AI!
This App is bad
This app does not near provide the info the old one did
Beware of New App
Long time user of myAcurite, after migrating to AcuRite NOW, unable to modify Temp sensor names, now looking for different product and vendor….
Ai slop
The app seems to have been vibe coded by a toddler. Terrible functionality compared to the previous. Shouldn’t be forced to downgrade to the new app.
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. I’d rate it ZERO stars if I could.
UPDATE: After discovering I’m being forced to AcuRite Now on 10/7, and that some users will be data-locked behind a paywall to share data to sites like WU, I went looking at other weather station options. I discovered Ambient Weather and their beautiful, useful, information-packed app and website. So much more user friendly and intuitive. If my only option to see my data is the Now app after 10/7, I’ll be switching to an ambient weather pws asap. I cannot recommend AcuRite at all. Buyers beware!!!

I make my living as a software engineer.
I don’t know how this app is being developed and marketed, all the way through the process, without the makers of the AcuRite weather stations approval? There is no other explanation? If AcuRite tested and signed off on this App, they will lose sales on weather stations globally. This change is like saying, “hey, I know everyone is using a cellphone, but look at my new LAND LINE PHONE!
Why are you going backwards?

Horrible Legacy app better
Total fail on this one Pretty design with little functionality. Gives you the barometric pressure but not if it is going up or down. Get error that I need to set home location but doesn’t give a way to do it. Lots of screens that do nothing just have a plus sign in the middle. I’ll stick with myacurite. This app is a waste of time.

Not intuitive
The old unit I had for years stored precipitation totals. The new units don’t but through the app there is an option for a subscription to store data longer then 30 days. I paid the subscription and the set up has been frustrating. I find it ridiculous that you have to subscribe just to get annual precipitation data.

Please Keep my AcuRite
Many errors! If I could give ZERO STARS I would. Does not pull in pressure data. Can’t name sensors. Sensors assigned to room are not displayed, yet show they are added. App dropped 1/10 degree resolution and rounds. Does not autoscale graphs, mostly just shows straight line. The old my AcuRite app autoscaled graphs so well you can see the sawtooth temperature rise and falls due to AC or heating. I hope this is an early beta version, if the my AcuRite app goes away I will need to choose another remote monitoring HW/SW solution. I was planning on expanding my system, that is now on hold given how poor this new app works.

Keeps getting worse
9/17/2026: Just when I thought this app couldn’t get worse. In the “Today” section, where I used to have weather info, I recently now only have a message that reads “Weather data acquisition failed, please set the home location information.”
I’d be happy to if there was an option to actually set that. I clicked on every button/menu and searched through the help section. If they finally shut down the old app, I am going to purchase a different brand of weather station.
I wish this would open to the page with the data - I have only one sensor, so the “home” is not really home. There is no way to manually refresh the data. The old app had accessibility to charts, highs/lows, etc. by simply touching the temp, humidity, wind, etc. the graphs for historical data does not update quickly and is difficult to read - if there has been rain over several days, you cannot easily see how much was on each day. Not sure what data 48 Hour and Week are supposed to show for the rain - if we’ve had an inch of rain today, both those still show 0.00”.
Really hoping to see some improvements with this app, until then I will continue using the My AcuRite app until they shut it down.

You’re app sucks
Please abandon this stupid app change
Please abandon this new application. AcuRite will be going to electronics recycling if the original app is discontinued in favor of AcuRite NOW.
Whoever approved this should be fired!
