### 1/5 — App constantly loses connection

*2024-09-07*

While the weather station is reliable enough, the app is definitely not. This badly needs a rewrite so I can actually retrieve the data the station stores.

### 1/5 — App needs overhaul

*2024-04-22*

The charts aren’t correct when you compare the chart with the min and max numbers. Seems to correct following day. 
Frequently loses Bluetooth connection. Really annoying. 
The app is overdue for a rewrite.

### 2/5 — App just stopped being able to connect yo my device. Uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail.

*2023-06-19*

So so

### 4/5 — Works Very Well For My Weather Station

*2023-03-12*

The weather station and outdoor sensor have both worked extremely well for years. The app occasionally loses contact with the station but putting the station into pairing mode always restores it and all relevant information is displayed in the app and the time is synced to the station. I’ve used this set up for over 6 years now and have been very pleased.

### 1/5 — Beyond Lame

*2022-09-20, version 1.1.0*

Weak Bluetooth signal from wx station doesn’t help. App won’t synch. Barometric pressure never changes from 30 inHG and shows no history. Need to be able to remove windows from view if they don’t function- like my barometric pressure. Attempted to contact support via link in app store - page not found. Really?! You get what you pay for is evident. Buy something that actually works.

### 2/5 — A curate’s egg!

*2022-07-19*

This could be a really useful app along with its associated hardware and mainly works but:
1. When you want to know how far below freezing it is the sensors seem to stop transmitting.
2. Around zero centigrade the app stops registering the temperature.
3. The graphing function appears to have difficulty plotting negative numbers correctly.
4. One of the sensors is not always read even though no changes have been to positions of kit.
5. Sensor number 2 (outside) often is reported as having no data for graphs even though it is recording a temperature reading.
6. Works fine for a few days and then asks for the base station to be reset. 
7. Mostly randomly, but sometimes after a reset, the graphing of recent temperature readings bears little or no relationship to the observed history of temperature records or the temperature info in the panel above the graph. 

Hopefully your wizards will get to work to improve things.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2022-07-12*

Great when it works, but it is completely random. One wonders how such an unreliable app can be presented with no updates for years and years. Unprofessional and damaging to this brand.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for IOS anymore

*2021-12-06, version 1.1.0*

The app is not working for any iPhone at the moment.

### 1/5 — Will not sync

*2021-01-06*

The app connects to the Weather station but will not sync local history. The latest version has not fixed the problem on iPhone 6s running IOS 13.7  cannot recommend using the app this has been like this for the last 2years. The weather station goes through the motion and connects and does not sync at all. Displays message to reset the weather station. 

When will it be fixed to work with the latest version of IOS.

The update says fix some problems but not this major one.

### 2/5 — Display on IOS14

*2020-12-25*

It’s been a bit flaky all year especially on the chart pages - the chart for the outdoor  temperature crashes when temp drops below 1c although the main unit is still displaying it correctly   Chart for outdoor humidity plots correctly during the missing time using the same sensor 
(iPhone 11,  IOS) 

Time for an update and bug fix Oregon !!
