Nothing works.

The most useless app ever. If you’re here desperate to fix your ambient weather device, you will be sorely disappointed.

Nothing

This app does nothing.
Trying to connect new station WS-2902C to WiFi, it requires to select settings icon. But that icon is only available after you connect station to WiFi.
Useless app and device.

Trash

Worked fine for a year. Now the app will absolutely not work to get my weather station online. Pure trash

Worked great, when I bought it

I really liked this weather station at first. I was able to check the weather at my home while away on work or anywhere else while I was away from home. The problem is it won’t attach to my Wi-Fi now and everything I’ve tried won’t make it work. Looks like the company is forcing us to buy the newer product instead of maintaining the old product. Thanks a lot (heavy sarcasm).

Brand new 2902-D but garbage software

Ambient Weather says to use this app with the 2902-d. It’s garbage. Nothing works. I’ve tried multiple days, ways and devices and it will not connect. Resetting doesn’t help. Please give us an app that works! I love my weather station but it sure would be nice to use it as advertised!,,,,,,

Don’t Use This App

If you are trying to connect your weather station to the internet, do Not use this app. It does not work. Use “awnet” app. It works.

Garbage app. Solution? Discontinue!

This app seemed to work when I first set up my weather station two years ago. Now, the app is being discontinued and naturally my console doesn’t connect to wifi any longer due to the app not finding my wifi. Rather than fix the problem the solution is to buy more hardware. My hardware is just fine thanks. Last time I buy ambient weather kit.

Junk app basically renders station useless

I bought my station to monitor and record the weather at my house a year ago. Now it’s not connected to Wi-Fi anymore and the app screen to join it again is just solid black.

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi. Developer won’t update app

This app is the only thing holding me back and the developers won’t update the app. If I have to buy another weather station. I guarantee it will not be an Ambient Weather station.

Does not work

Some of the screens have toggle switches, but no instructions on what they do.

Does nothing but fail

Title says it all. I can’t get it to connect to anything after trying several times. Very disappointing.

Doesn’t work with modern iOS

As others have pointed out, this doesn’t work with modern iOS. I had to dig out an old android device to update my Wi-Fi password. I understand that I have an older weather station, but I should not have to buy a new one just because I changed my Wi-Fi password.

Does not work

App launches, but will not connect device to Wifi. This needs to be fixed.

Disappointing

Won’t open just get a blank screen?

Old iPhone kept to configure wi-fi

Newer iPhones cannot configure wi-if on base station, even with 5Ghz disabled. So, old iPhone 5 to the rescue, only natively supporting 2.4Ghz and using older iOS 10.

A company to avoid, it appears.

How to setup Wi-Fi in 2021

You must use an iPhone or iPad with an older version of iOS. I was able to get this old app to reconfigure my Ambient Weather device via iOS 12.4 on an iPad mini 2. Now this IoT sensor is working with a new WiFi 6 router that has a different SSID and password. iOS 15 does not work.

Crap

This app is totally worthless.. does not work…

Ambient is letting us down

I have an original ws2902. When I recently upgraded my network at home, the latest ambient tool app no longer allows me to change the ssid. Luckily I have an old iPhone5 with an earlier version of the app which does still work. A shame that ambient will not fix this - forcing loyal customers to buy a new weather station rather than fix a bug is BAD BUSINESS

It does not work

It does not allow you to see the data from your weather station.

New iPhone

I have been using this software with my ws2902-a
Pws and my old android phone. It has been working flawlessly. I even track my indoor temperature to optimize my nest controller.

Now I have an iPhone and I have trouble setting it up to work on my WiFi net. Weather underground works but I can’t seem to get this software to use wx underground like it’s supposed to.

My android still connects even though the phone part is deactivated. I hate to wipe out my android connection parameters to the pws, so I’m looking at other pws tools.
