One thing I’d love to have is daily totals even just for 1 week at a time so we can see the previous day(s) without having to calculate the week’s running amount minus the current day’s amount. ### 1/5 — Broken links *2026-06-02, version 4.6.3* Broken links to help. Extremely hard to understand setup. No live help available ### 4/5 — Good one! *2026-05-21, version 4.6.3* It’s a good tough one or good product in general. There were some cheapys I decided weren’t the best bet. I will not do for the reviews. If this one activates the Chuck luck curse again .Thing still better. be strong a few good years.. ChuckD ### 1/5 — Stopped syncing *2026-05-17, version 4.6.3* Worked for a year and now won’t sync no matter what I try ### 3/5 — Graph Buttons Removed from Tiles *2026-05-07, version 4.6.3* I used the button at the bottom of every Tile to access the graph for that Tile multiple times a day but apparently some developer thought it would be a good idea to remove it and instead require users to tap and scroll more to find the graphs - WHY??? Nothing like having a frequently used app feature removed suddenly for no apparent reason. ### 4/5 — Please add the quick graph button back to the tiles! *2026-05-05, version 4.6.3* Within the last few days, the little squiggly line takes you straight to the graph for the tile you’re in has disappeared. Now you have to tap the three dots and select from a drop down menu. So, it’s not a huge issue, but I have to put my glasses on to make sure I don’t accidentally delete to tile or anything else drastic. First world problems. ### 2/5 — Fullscreen *2026-05-04, version 4.6.3* Would love a nice full screen dashboard view ### 3/5 — Good so far *2026-05-03, version 4.6.3* Just got a WS-2902 weather station. Setup was a little clunky, but doable. Day-to-day operation has been pretty good. Would like to see another widget similar to your current wide widget (maybe make that one taller), but shows more of my actual personal weather station data because that’s why I bought my own weather station to begin with. Thanks. ### 1/5 — No French version of thé interface *2026-04-26* C’est nul tout est en anglais…. ### 4/5 — Solid app *2026-04-16, version 4.6.3* Choosing tiles can be a little unintuitive. Otherwise, this is a solid app that is easy to install and connect to an Ambient Weather station. ### 2/5 — Unfriendly App for change of location *2026-04-13, version 4.6.3* There is no way to change my home location in the app after moving to a different city. I finally deleted and started over the account but the app would not let me setup my equipment. It said someone else owned the equipment (which was my old account). This is totally ridiculous. I don’t recommend this app at all. ### 1/5 — Review *2026-04-10, version 4.6.3* Not able to follow weather information on my phone. Can only view from weather data board at my house. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ???? *2026-09-07, version 4.6.4* My rainfall graph went away. Don’t know how to get it back ### 1/5 — Connectivity *2026-09-02, version 4.6.4* I have had an Ambient PWS for a number of years and have been able to check on my station from wherever I am. I have the WS-2902D my original console dropped WiFi connectivity and I saw that there was an upgrade program that should resolve the problem I got a new console that I paid for and the issue continues. ### 1/5 — Wh31e sensor *2026-08-24, version 4.6.4* I purchased this compatible sensor to use w/my 2902 but it won’t add w/out a MAC address that isn’t anywhere to be found. ### 1/5 — App stopped working after update/ no tech support *2026-07-18, version 4.6.4* July 2026. Data that was available with the original purchase and was advertised as such is now behind a paywall. This simply isn’t right! As a gardener I rely on monthly rain totals and this information being available to me is why I purchased this particular system. So going back on the original agreement simply isn’t right and needs to be dealt with by reporting this behavior to the consumer protection agency. Greed is the enemy of the consumer. The app stopped working after the update one week ago. I notified Ambient Weather about the problem, app will initiate the logo pops up then it goes to white screen and stays there. But no one has responded. I’ve read that others have had this issue as well. The station works and the app works on my iPad but it’s really more convenient to use the app on my iPhone. My iPhone has plenty of memory and a strong internet connection. The company should have responded by now. A week is just unacceptable given the price of the weather station. Also, the lighting detector is almost useless at all settings. I’ve tried multiple settings on the Reddit page but none works for me. The best setting I found is hit or miss. I got 67 strikes when a major storm hit then the next day two large strikes hit directly over my house but the detector didn’t catch them. That’s an expensive device that I really regret buying. There’s also a bit of deception from the company involving being able to use the desktop to track the information from the station. In the pictures on the site it shows all three devices, phone, tablet and computer as usable for tracking but you’ll need to pay extra to use it on your computer. In hindsight I think I would have gone with a different system. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-07-06, version 4.6.4* Just wanted a simple wireless device to collect some weather data such as wind direction, relative humidity, etc. This is not it. Can’t connect device outside to the console inside easily. And it’s all about paying a subscription. No thanks ### 1/5 — Password reset *2026-07-04, version 4.6.4* Cannot reset password ### 1/5 — NO!! *2026-06-21, version 4.6.3* If you change Internet providers you might as well throw this thing in the trash. Second Ambient, changed to Starlink and now nothing. Split the 2.4/5.0 as instructed, nothing. Ambient has ancient coding, not changed since dial-up internet. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-06-17, version 4.6.3* Can’t get it to stay connected to outdoor sensors. Keeps dropping. So, I removed batteries and it continued to connect and drop repeatedly. Odd with no batteries ### 1/5 — Too difficult *2026-06-14, version 4.6.3* It’s just too difficult to do almost anything on this app. So frustrating over and over. ### 1/5 — Want stay connected *2026-06-06, version 4.6.3* My ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ? *2026-08-01, version 4.6.4* ? ### 5/5 — Great weather system *2026-07-13, version 4.6.4* This system is great to have. My favorite part is seeing the rate the rain is coming down. Accurate with the amount of rain in a given day. ### 5/5 — M *2026-07-07, version 4.6.4* Ffdmox dx Ty mom e de ### 5/5 — Weather app *2026-06-30, version 4.6.4* Great product, just got it but really like looking at the weather I believe it’s accurate! Bruce ### 5/5 — Love the unit *2026-05-25, version 4.6.3* I love how I can ‘watch’ the measurements from a distance (currently 800 miles). I discovered I accidentally turned off AC and house inside was a bit over 90. A friend went over the house and turned the ac back on. Have thermometers in multiple rooms was helpful. ### 5/5 — Awesome Weather Station *2026-04-06, version 4.6.3* This weather station is fantastic. It may be a bit harder to setup for those not too familiar with electronic/computer stuff. But, once it’s up and running…very good! ### 5/5 — Love it Love it *2026-04-02, version 4.6.3* This gives me all the weather days i need at my location not the days from some station miles away ### 5/5 — I liked it for me *2026-03-18, version 4.6.2* Nothing more to say ### 5/5 — Long term review *2026-03-17, version 4.6.2* Have been using this equipment and app for over two years, very reliable and accurate. I find myself turning into a weather geek with this thing 👍 ### 5/5 — see true weather *2026-03-12, version 4.6.1* the app is easy to use and shows actual weather all over. i can now easily check my cabin temp in real time . big deal in frozen alaska. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
