Many problems

App is very hard to read on a phone. I’m sure it looks great on your development device but the text is too small on a phone. My device is always shown as “currently unreachable” in the Live Air app. This leaves me without the ability to move the device to a new wifi network without a complete reset and loss of data.

Illegible graphs!

Fonts are MUCH too small and colors of text have much too little contrast. And axis minimums are poorly chosen with y range so large that you can’t even see variations in temperature and other parameters. So graphs are useless. App have been updated since 2019.
