Absolute waste of time and money
App hasn’t been updated since 2015 and yet the unit that relies on it to operate is still being sold. There are so many glitches in the app that the weather station is useless… the station is just a little box with no displays at all. Very rarely does the app even pick up the information from the unit, even when standing next to it.
The app may be free, but the unit is not cheap, especially when it is solely dependent on a very poor and out of date app full of glitches.

Doesn’t connect and read temps.
Won’t connect to multiple sensors at one time. A shame considering the concept is good, too bad it doesn’t work.
Nice App, missing data export
The interface is nice, simple, and easy. Use this with the BAR228 Advanced Bluetooth sensor and get some insight into the conditions around my houseplant shelf. Wish it had a way to export the logs of temperature, humidity, and pressure to, e.g., CSV via email or airdrop.
Doesn’t work, constantly crashes
Can’t even get a single reading from my device. Crashes in a minute
Totally Useless
Rarely gets readings from sensors and when it does it frequently gets readings not from the sensor it’s supposed to getting the readings from.
Horrible is not strong enough!
Terrible instructions in written and in-app forms. No mention of humidity (which is my primary interest). When I stumbled into the right place, little help to understand or implement settings. Odd that room type options don't include a humidor. Now i just have to hope device is accurate. Little reason to trust this company so far.

Very disappointed
Will not sync with sensors reliably. Temperature history graph often displays numbers that can't be right.
A very poor product.

Mostly happy
I've got 6 of these hooked to my iPad for about 10 months now.
I wish there was a way to export the data to .csv or .txt format

Absolute Rubbish
This app hasn't had an update for a while and it shows... Fails to connect most of the time. Now there seems to be no way to remove temperature alerts without quitting the app and rebooting phone.... I'm not sure if it's the app or the sensor but I'm never going to waste my money on an Oregon product again.

Lots of Bugs
I have just typed a lengthy review and the crappy apple software told me the nickname was taken and deleted it. So sorry this is short.
Sensors are hard to connect initially, you must set up temperature alerts to proceed. Then you have to go back and switch off after. This only applies to the first sensor.
Once sensors connected they are very slow to update and scramble the data between sensors making the history graphs totally useless.
Overall the software is very poor. Idea is great and when they get it working properly it will be great. Right now this feels like beta software.

Piece of crap
Can only connect on about one try out of five or six. It's currently sitting right in front of me and yet the app still won't update. Waste of money.
Portrait mode only
Got bar228 for Xmas so haven't done much with it, but my initial impression is that it does almost as much as most of the weather apps available. Rather a simplistic approach and I'm glad I didn't pay for it.
The one immediate dislike is the portrait mode only. Am I the only person who detests portrait mode for certain applications?
Hoping I'll change my mind about the gadget and the app.

Needs data export
Got 3 sensors attached, all working well on my iPad.
Wishlist:
- CSV data Export from the History page
- Impoved Home page displaying a summary of attached sensors
- Ability to swipe between sensors
- Widget

Needs more data
Good little data logger. Not really a weather station. Doesn't work on my iPhone but ok on iPad.
I'd like to see more visible weather data on the "home" page for each sensor, such as current humidity level, current pressure and trend, current humidity level. The data is all there, just you have to dig for it. I'd rather it was at a glance.
I'd also like to see an export function for the data or the charts.
Not bad though all in.
