Poor Design
The station data is at the top of the screen and the rest of the screen is the forecast that goes out a ridiculous number of days.…. Plus there are 5 days of old forecasts left on the screen. Why? It’s not bad to see the forecast, but it’s not optional - so you can’t remove it from the screen. …. and makes the screen too busy and cluttered for my personal taste. Other issue is that it does not denote times of peak data…. max wind…. high temp - and it doesn’t give you a start/end time for rain. To be fair there is a graph where you can attempt to obtain the data- but would be great to have that data at a glance. One final issue…. When I tap on one of the individual data points on main screen…. it brings up another page with all the data and not just what you tap. The wind data on that page is a smaller lighter font than the Pressure and it’s easy for my eye to not see the decimal point on the wind data- for example- it’s easy to mistake a wind speed of 2.2 mph for 22 mph.
I would like to click on a data point where all data for that data point is readily available on one screen …. along with time of the event peaks.
I don’t expect you to redo your app for me, 😉
Just some food for thought next time you do a revamp.

Good app needs temperature alerts
This is a nicely designed app with a good user interface. Given that many people purchase a weather station to monitor temperatures, it seems like a big deficit to not have the ability to set high or low temperature alert alerts through the app.
Bad WiFi
I have over 50 devices on my home network that connected to my WiFi the first time but not the Tempest Weather Station. I have extenders in several locations so signal strength is not an issue. I followed all their troubleshooting recommendations with no luck. So at this point I will be returning it.

Worst forecasting
Still can’t believe there is no Apple HomeKit integration. Ifttt is $$$ now.
Also, the forecasts are never correct. It’s going to rain in 30 min. Nope now it’ll rain in 45 min. Nope… I give up on this app and hardware.

This app hallucinates
This app makes up fake data when the sensor fails. Also The tempest hardware is junk, breaks down after a couple of years.
Base stopped connecting
After many years of use this stopped working - can I connect seams like the hub
The great weather app
I’ve been using this weather station for almost a year, and my experience has been excellent. The installation was simple, and the data it provides is very accurate and consistent day to day.
I only had one issue during this time, but Tempest’s support team was outstanding. They responded quickly and sent me a replacement station at no cost, which really shows how much they stand behind their product.
It’s a reliable, well-designed system with top-notch customer support. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality weather station.

Great hardware. Meh software.
I love my Tempest weather station. It integrates really well with Home Assistant and Alexa for hyperlocal forecasting. But the app is really in need of a makeover. It looks like it was made for iPhone 3G… things are arranged properly and it never crashes which is great, but it’s not using any modern design language. I hope to see better widgets and some Liquid Glass effects in the future.

Seems as though you need to be the owner?
Would be great to view a tempest with a public URL.
Great Weather Station
This is a great way to see what the weather is at home and at any other place you might be or want to know. You can save locations in your browser to look at later without having to search the Map. I also have the Light Map. It also has everything on it that is on the Tempest.
Brilliant
Any rain issues are from incorrect mounting . Longer poles vibrate due to wind and resonance. Short poles filled with sand don’t .
Grab one of these stations they are brilliant

One suggestion
Overall a quality weather station for weather nuts, but PLEASE swap the high and low temperatures
Great app for my station, and weather’
Been a user for many years, since WF was in crowdfunding. Love the product and app.
I thought this was free?
Why does the Apple App Store want me to pay $7.50 to download the app?
5*
Breeze to set up, well designed w/ good interface, & responsive service.
Works great
This app and the accompanying weather station work great! Easy to install, configure, and connect to Rachio and Weather Underground. If you want to know your hyper-local weather, this is the way to go!
Family and friends share
I mean it’s a awesome app for an young little guy like me! The only thing I wish I could do is share the weather app with other people so my family or friends can look at the weather too.
BEST WEATHER STATION & APP!
The app is rock solid and the weather with their NEARCAST premium service for personal use is very accurate for hyper local weather. Tempest also has the best support and care… they are truly passionate about their service and care about their customers. Twice we reached out for a technical item and both times they followed up super quick, got to the bottom of the issue and had us back up and running. Excellent service. Excellent product!

Response from developer
Thanks for the great review! We're honored to have all your support and appreciation.
Needs an update
Considering the price of the weather station one would assume that there would be a way to add data inputs and that there would be artificial intelligence added into the user interface to expand the overall performance
Time changes
I'm surprised that you haven't permanently fixed zoomed out graphs of temp etc at 3 hour hash marks to start a day at midnight after DST vs standard time chsnges. After a change the graph day starts at 11pm, then 2am, then 5am, etc
