I needed a way to get my station to be visible where ever. Weather underground made sense but the app interface was un desirable and I didn’t want to dev my own app and all that comes with an app dev account. I found this app, and honestly it’s been perfect. When I saw the dev made improvements I wanted to support. This app is great, and does exactly what I need without having to do backend or web server work and maintenance. I’m grateful to have it and happy to pay to share my gratitude. Also the app design and layout is so optimized. ### 5/5 — Best PWS App *2026-07-08, version 5.0* Straight forward, easy to use, great layout ### 5/5 — PWS *2026-07-07, version 5.0* Excelent app. Totally useful. ### 5/5 — Great update *2026-07-07, version 5.0* Thank you for the amazing update. So much added funcionality! Thanks for staying with the app and building upon it! ### 4/5 — Alles neu! *2026-07-07* Die komplette Überarbeitung der App ist einfach genial. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass die App nochmal komplett angefasst und neu programmiert werden würde. Die Widgets und die Nutzung der App auf der Apple Watch sind super. Leider ist dort noch ein Fehler drin: Die Werte werden in den Widgets und auf der Apple Watch in den Komplikationen nicht aktualisiert .. Ich denke, das sollte kein Problem sein, das zu beheben. Ansonsten sind die Abokosten fair. Denn die Pflege und Programmierung kosten Zeit.. und für das, was einem dafür geboten wird, passt das alles. **Developer response:** Unfortunately, Apple does not allow complications and widgets to update more than about 4 times an hour, although that can vary based on usage and how often devices sleep. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-06-22, version 4.1* A good app, with easy functionality. Finding nearby stations is easy and the interface generally is simple and clear, with some useful customisable options. ### 5/5 — This Personal weather station a must to have *2026-06-08, version 4.1* This app was not supported much but the author was persuaded to make it a paid app. Did a great job and on-line far better that underground weather. Worth the $10 a year to see my own and other weather stations real time! ### 5/5 — Prosta dobra aplikacja *2026-06-04, version 4.1* Zainstalowałem ostatnio osobistą stację pogody na dachu, potem przez cały dzień szukałem odpowiedniego programu do jej monitorowania i według mnie Pws monitor jest najlepszy. Jest to prosta aplikacja, ale pokazuje wszystko na czym nam zależy. Wykresy. Historię zmian pogodowych, Wszystkie pobliskie stacje na jednej stronie, co ułatwia porównanie ze swoją stacją. Wszystko jest bardzo dobrze przemyślane 👍 ### 5/5 — Sehr übersichtlich *2026-05-28* Der PWS Monitor ist wunderbar. Man kann viele verschiedene Wetterstationen hinzufügen. Alles lädt ganz schnell und es werden alle Daten schön übersichtlich dargestellt. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-05-07, version 4.1* 👌 ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2026-04-12, version 4.1* I wish I could rate PWS Monitor a 4.5 because, while it is very good at what it does, I wish there was both a history (to go,back and see previous days) and a way to read precipitation over a variety of times, say a week or month, especially when subscribed to premium. ### 5/5 — Nice simple app *2026-03-26, version 4.1* Any chance that the wind direction icon can be flipped 180-degrees so that it points INTO the wind as depicted on all other NWS products? The directional icon should point toward the wind direction and not to where it’s going. It’s just backwards. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-26, version 4.1* Great app! Light weight and easy to use, keeps all my weather info easy to view. I’ve been using this platform for years and have had only 1 issue. When I reach out to the developer, the issue was handled professionally and the problem was solved. Thank you for the support! ### 5/5 — Best PWS monitor in App Store *2026-01-11, version 4.1* Been using this app with my Davis Vantage Pro 2 RSS for many years. Concise easy to read display. Easily accessible on the internet. ### 5/5 — Excellent app ! *2026-01-10, version 4.1* This app is great for is weather geeks who want to check their weather station from anywhere in the world! ### 5/5 — Appel whats *2026-01-04, version 4.1* Os falta añadirla al reloj ### 5/5 — Very good app *2025-12-27, version 4.1* I use PWS Monitor every day to display data from my Ambient weather station. Such a nice display of the info. I love how the graphs show real time data for the current day and smoothed data for the previous 6. And the rainfall graph is brilliant. And I can’t say enough about how I can easily read everything shown. As a colorblind male I greatly appreciate the lack of reliance on red anywhere in the app. ### 5/5 — Sheps weather station2 *2025-12-19, version 4.1* This app works great for my personal weather station. Everything is right on the front page and looks professional ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-12-04, version 4.1* Simple, easy, and a better interface to view your weather station’s information. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a good app for visually impaired people *2025-07-22, version 4.1* I am a huge Weather buff and I like to be able to see how much rain we’ve had. I’ve been using Weather gods and Weather underground and I was told about this app. I downloaded it and looked at it and it’s totally not accessible. Me being totally blind it would be totally useless for me. I definitely would not be paying for a subscription for this unless there’s improvements. ### 1/5 — Limitaciones *2023-08-30, version 4.0.4* Cuantas estaciones se pueden agregar? Se ve que si agregas muchas no puedes entrar en los datos de maximos y minimos. En fin os la habeis cargado ### 1/5 — Unterirdische Optik, *2023-06-03* Auf Iphone passt es phnehin nicht von der Geometrie, Werbung ist schlimm, insgesamt macht die Optik sicherlich kein Spass, um überhaupt an eine Premium zu denken! ### 1/5 — Cer 4.0 not accessible for vision impaired *2023-05-21, version 4.0.1* Oh dear, Ver 4.0 not useable for blind people who use ios Voice Over. Without text descriptions and with data spread across screen it is impossible for Voice Over users to navigate. Old version presented basic data in accessible table format. I will revert to Wundergroun app which I do not like, but is accessible.. ### 1/5 — Es gibt besseres... *2021-02-10* Das Design ist unterirdisch, insgesamt eine sehr spartanische App. myPWS bietet da wesentlich mehr, wenn auch nicht umsonst... ### 1/5 — Suks *2017-05-26, version 2.4.3* Does not find any Canadian stations. Guess we don't have any. ### 1/5 — No Canadian stations *2017-03-15, version 2.4.3* Disappointed that there were no Canadian stations. Description said worldwide. ### 1/5 — NUL *2016-09-12* ZERO TROP DE BUGS ### 1/5 — Werbung ... *2016-06-29* ist absolut nicht mein Ding. Hier schiebt sich ungefragt eine Werbeleiste über die untere Anzeige der von mir zur Verfügung gestellten (und von Wunderground gehosteten) Wetterdaten. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit (auch nicht über einen AppIn-Kauf) die Werbung abzuschalten. App gleich wieder gelöscht! ### 2/5 — Great app *2026-01-11, version 4.1* I’m tired of the inappropriate sexual nature of the advertisements at the bottom of the screen. I know I have my ad tokens turned off, but this app allows advertisements of an illicit nature. Granted, when you look closer they appear to be non-sexual, but the illusion these advertisements try to imply are seriously sick and nonsensical. This app has functioned well and I’ve really enjoyed it throughout the years, but this type of illicitness reflects that this platform/app has inappropriate! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2026-08-14, version 5.0.4* I have used this app for a couple of years. It has always been an extremely useful app. Love the features and design. When the new version added the Watch app I immediately subscribed. Seeing my weather station data in complications on the Watch makes PWS my most used Watch app! Great job!!! Many thanks! ### 5/5 — New update *2026-08-02, version 5.0.2* The new update is wonderful. Makes this app really useful . ### 5/5 — awesome app *2026-07-31, version 5.0.2* does everything it should do and nothing that it should not. love this app ### 5/5 — Looks great, works great *2026-07-30, version 5.0.2* Looks great, works great. The graphs over time are very informative, especially for pressure and temperature. It’s nice to see my two weather stations’ data on my phone! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-13, version 5.0.1* Easy to use. Nothing like it out there. Awesome to know weather at home when I am out of town ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-07-12, version 5.0* App is perfect for monitoring multiple stations giving you real time info as well as approaching conditions ### 5/5 — 5.0 update is amazing! *2026-07-11, version 5.0* This is THE perfect app now to accompany your wundergorund connect weather station. Previously I had only found one or two options to get live pws data on a watch complication, but the new watch app has blown away those options! ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT App for Hyper-Local Weather. *2026-07-10, version 5.0* The July 2026 update lets you configure the display on your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch to show exactly what Weather Underground data you want from any station(s). The Watch complication is a work of genius. The $10 annual fee for widgets and removing ads is very reasonable; bandwidth isn’t free. No Weather Underground subscription is required. I use the app to show data from my personal weather station on my watch, but I could as easily rely on one of the other Weather Underground stations nearby. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Great local weather station app *2026-07-09, version 5.0* This is a great app for accessing the data from your home weather station if you share your data on Weather Underground. It’s fast, stable and quick to use. And the latest update added WIDGETS. They are awesome 🤩. Now I can have the actual real live outside temperature at home displayed on my Home Screen and not the guestimate that Apple creates. Awesome work, thank you 🙏 ### 5/5 — PWS MONITOR *2026-07-09, version 5.0* I have had this for several years and is the best “snap shot of the day” app I’ve found. I have my own weather station and being to quickly see the weather at home is fantastic. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
