### 1/5 — 5yrs since last update says it all

*2022-06-05, version 1.2*

Horrific app for a high quality weather station. 

No update in 5 years is unthinkable.  

Will not connect to WiFi.  1 star given for finally allowing my station to send data to WU.

### 1/5 — Inutilisable

*2022-03-06*

Connexion wifi impossible ! Application inutilisable !!! De plus les identifiants crée via le net ne fonctionnent pas sur l’application??!

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2022-02-23, version 1.2*

Impossible de se logger sur Weather Underground : « An unknown error occured, try again »

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2022-02-14*

Impossible de faire fonctionner l’application !!!

### 1/5 — Приложение не работает

*2022-01-15*

Приложение не работает. Не качайте

### 1/5 — Won’t Connect

*2021-12-28, version 1.2*

No matter what device I’m on, with 2.4 WiFi and no mobile data it will not connect or let me get to the point of connecting to WU

### 1/5 — NULLISSIME

*2021-12-26*

Eu comme cadeau de Noël, station météorologique WS6867. Il est impossible ne serait-ce que de créer son compte. Bref n’acheter pas de produits La Crosse Technology, c’est de la pure arnaque ! Pour une fois j’aurais mieux fait d’acheter un produit venant de Chine !!

### 1/5 — Impossible to connect  lacrosse technology WS6867

*2021-11-06*

Please update the application ! Did you check your UX with iOS 15 ?

### 1/5 — Lacrosse

*2021-10-25*

Отвратительное ПО не могу зарегистрировать своё устройство приложение вообще не работает! Разработчики куда смотрят не знаю

### 1/5 — Still Doesn’t Work

*2021-10-11*

Despite using the proper frequency on a mobile device, the app fails to recognize the 2.4GHz network, thus you cannot connect and move forward in link your PWS with Weather Underground. Further, the app is broken- when using other functions of the app, such as registering for a PWS ID from Weather Underground, you get the message: “An unknown error occurred, try again.” The apparent problems that plagued the app (as many have mentioned prior) have obviously continued to; the Weather Connect has not been updated in several years. Disappointing because I’d love to utilize the data and share it.

### 1/5 — Is This A joke?

*2021-08-09, version 1.2*

Useless app and no support.  It can’t get any worse.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-07-18, version 1.2*

This App just doesn’t work.  Have tried every tip I can find and still can’t get my Lacrosse station working with Weather Underground. Too bad as I like the Lacrosse weather station otherwise.

### 1/5 — The. Worst.

*2021-05-01*

I’ve spent hours on this, tried 2 different Kindles and 3 versions of iPhones, a 2.4 wifi extender and a 2.4 guest network. Seriously??!!  Every time I either get a “Fail” or it just returns me to the “Set WiFi” screen without ever advancing. I want to throw this app across the room.  All I want to do is register with WU. How can it be this hard?

### 1/5 — Can’t disable 5G so useless

*2021-04-23, version 1.2*

Why won’t this let me pick my 2.4 guest network that my phone and weather station are connected to?  I am not able to disable my 5G and this app just keeps defaulting to that. This is infuriating.

### 1/5 — Ne se connecte pas !

*2021-01-17*

Application nul , impossible a connecter au wifi

### 1/5 — Shockingly terrible

*2021-01-09*

I’m at a loss for words. The experience of using this app is simply awful. The apparent requirement of a 2.4 GHz network means I’ll have to do some reconfiguring of my network and even if I do it sounds like there’s a good chance this still won’t work. 

This app feels like a summer project for a distracted high school student that never went through any review or QA. The developers and company should be embarrassed.

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2021-01-01*

Les applications liées à La Crosse (la Crosse View comme Weather Connect) sont complètement inopérantes (et visiblement le fournisseur s’en contre fiche). Aucun mode d’emploi ou d’explications ... une catastrophe : bref une arnaque.

### 1/5 — Ne marche pas

*2020-12-20*

Impossible de connecter la station via un iPhone dernière génération il faut passer par un utilitaire, j’ai réussi à associer la station LCT mais c’est après que ça se complique impossible de se connecter au compte WUNDERGROUND. Cet application NE MARCHE PAS !! La station LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY ACHETÉE ne sert donc à rien, lamentable

### 1/5 — A fuir

*2025-11-10*

Nulle . Impossible de se connecter à la wifi .

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-07-30, version 1.2*

This no longer works or supported.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2025-02-01*

Does not seem to work WiFi does not work even on 2.4 GHz nothing works and I can’t find another way to connect my weather station to weather underground. I have spent more than a hour trying to get it to work but it still always has some sort of issue this app hasn’t been updated in years and I doubt the developer will fix anything. The issue seems to be that the app can’t find the WiFi network but I don’t know. Terrible app.

### 1/5 — App won't recognize WiFi network

*2023-12-09, version 1.2*

The app is pretty straight forward, unfortunately it doesn’t work at all. I tried both the IOS and Android versions and neither will recognize my 2.4GHz WiFi network. When your iPhone is connected to your local WiFi network, this app is supposed to display your network SSID and allow you to enter your base station password. Only then can you enter your Weather Underground credentials. But, you can't get that far if the app won't find your network and only displays “Wi-Fi” in the network name field and won't let you edit it. I'm a retired network pro, so I have a clue about WiFi, IP addressing, etc. This app fails miserably. Zero stars!

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2023-08-23, version 1.2*

Weather underground has changed login info and “how” it logs in.This no longer sends to weather underground as I have been able to do for years

### 1/5 — Do not use

*2023-02-27, version 1.2*

This app has not been updated in 6 years. It has essentially made my weather station useless and unusable. LaCrosse is no use if you don’t want to buy a new station from them.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2023-01-07*

Impossible de se connecter c’est nullissime

### 1/5 — Save your money, don't buy Lacrosse

*2023-01-02*

We have had so many issues with the weather station disconnecting from the Lacrosse app.  Now I finally figure out you need this second app to connect to weather underground and it is even a bigger piece of excrement.  

I will never buy another Lacrosse product.

### 1/5 — iPhone weather connect app

*2022-06-23, version 1.2*

Attempted to use Weather Connect on my Iphone 13Pro Max to connect La Crosse V40A- Pro weatherStation to the weather underground. After numerous attempts I got a failed message every time.  I called La Cross tech-support they had me jump through all the hoops I had all ready done and then admitted  basically it’s not supported much anymore and hasn’t been updated in five years. I had an idea to get out my Samsung tablet since the IOS app was missing a screen that was supposed to show my available station. I downloaded the Weather Connect app on the Samsung tablet android Opened  it and selected main menu put in my weather station ID number KO7ASTOR32 on the first line login and the second line password my station Key number it should be a 8 character code. And viola it said success. Two hours later I was broadcasting my station to the weather underground. Bottom line is iPhone app does not work with Lacrosse but android Weather Connect does. Hope this helps somebody.

### 5/5 — No Problems

*2018-11-09*

I’m puzzled by all the bad reviews. I had no problem connecting my La Cross station to WU, and it has worked flawlessly so far. I suspect some people are not waiting long enough for their stations to connect. It may look like the app is continually requesting information about your network, but just be patient, it may take a while for your station to appear on WU.

### 5/5 — Not connecting

*2018-02-09*

Scanned unit, connected to WiFi got weather underground I’d and password and now will not connect to WiFi to share weather
I had my mifi jetpack jet up with the primary at 5 gig and the guest set at 2.4 Weather connect app couldn't find my station until I changed the primary ot 2.4 connected to primarray first try. evidently it didn't like being a guest lol

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2018-01-12, version 1.2*

Great app. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Got it working!

*2017-05-14*

It took a couple calls to La Crosse, WI, but we figured out that I needed to use the 2.4 Ghz radio only. We have Aruba 205's so I made a new SSID named Lacrosse and set it to only use the 2.4Ghz band. After that, I had to disable ARP broadcast blocking on this SSID to proceed to step 2 on the app.

### 4/5 — Thanks KCS84

*2017-07-04*

If it were not for KCS84's post below, this was going in the trash.  I bought this to replace an Accurite station, install is super simple.  Documentation does not exist, there are no instructions for recommended mounting positions.  I had the same issue with my setup (Airport Extreme) 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz both on, the station would connect to my wireless, but the app never indicated so, it would always show fail.  Per the info in KCS84's post, I disabled the 5GHz on the router, and the app worked instantly.  I re-enabled the 5GHz and still works just fine.

### 3/5 — Says it won’t connect to WiFi but ignore this

*2018-12-23*

This probably took me three hours to figure out but in the end it worked. I tried everything to get the app to connect to my WiFi including turning off the 5ghz part of my router but it continued to say it failed to connect. Finally I discovered that as long as my phone and my weather station were connected on the 2.4ghz frequency of my router I could just ignore this and click the back arrow (top left) and move onto the next step. Then it worked fine.

### 2/5 — Mr Riccmani

*2026-03-13, version 1.2*

Why can’t I change WiFi name?

### 2/5 — Got it to work

*2026-01-22, version 1.2*

Thanks to information in an 8 year old review from @kcs84 -I was able to get the app to work and connect my La Crosse weather station to Weather Underground.

### 2/5 — Connect Device to Wifi

*2019-01-22*

Instructions to wifi need to be much clearer. All that needs to connect device is to hold + and - buttons together until the wifi icon blinks. Then enter password if you are password protected then hit confirm. First page on app helps you set up the device ID and key. Then wifi icon will stop blinking. You are connected. 

I gave it a rating of 2 stars as LaCrosse instructions are not as detailed as they need to be to use this app.

### 2/5 — Won't connect to WIFI

*2017-04-22*

As others have reported, will not connect to internet. Tried 5 times before I saw the reviews. This is my 3rd Lacrosse weather station. First one with wifi. The wind registration has didn't work on the first two.. Just got this one. We will see on the wind. If it doesn't work it is going back.
