App does nothing. Does not record outside temp 🤷‍♀️ ### 4/5 — WeatherSense iPhone 15 *2025-04-29* Bonjour depuis une semaine de recherche pour connecter ma station météo optex sm-040 erreur 1003 j’ai enfin résolu le problème il faut modifier le mot passe wifi il est trop long. Je trouve l’application bien fait 👍 ### 4/5 — Funciona *2025-03-28, version 2.2.3* Si me funciona ### 4/5 — Nicht perfekt aber ich liebe die App *2025-02-02* Ale Berichte stimmen, die Aktivierung ist was für begeisterte, die Funktion der App darf auch weiter entwickelt werden. Aber jetzt geht es bei mir. Ich hatte auch die BlueTooth-Variante von Infactory und bin jetzt von den erweiterten Möglichkeiten begeistert. Einfach ein tolles Tool, an dem man sich freuen kann. ### 3/5 — Source data wrong *2025-01-19* Works great for showing me what my station is doing so we can remotely monitor, but it’s 32 today and it’s showing 70 in Sabine…WTH?? Update your source data or let me choose my station for the big display please. ### 2/5 — Just for setting up wifi *2025-01-09* Wireless setup is pretty straightforward. App is pretty useless as it doesn’t show the station outdoor info and only the inside temp. ### 2/5 — Naja *2024-10-12* Das Gerät selbst ist ganz gut, aber die App dazu kann man vergessen! Obwohl die richtige Region eingestellt ist, zeigt sie unmögliche Temperaturen an, schade eigentlich. ### 3/5 — Works Fine. *2024-09-18* Had problems with hardware but the app seems to be fine. Great to see weather on the phone. ### 1/5 — Why would I want to register in weather app? *2024-08-14, version 2.2.1* Deleted. ### 4/5 — Fonctionne bien *2024-08-06* Depuis la mise a jour 2.2.0 refonctionne correctement, je n’ai plus le message network error 👍🏻 ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2024-08-06, version 2.2.1* Funktioniert nicht mit WPA 3 ### 1/5 — Mal *2024-07-17, version 2.2.0* Pésima aplicación error 1003 siempre ### 1/5 — Inutilisable *2024-07-11, version 2.2.0* Voilà une application inutile. Elle doit me permettre de connecter ma Station météo mais elle ne fonctionne pas. Au lancement de l’application il y a un message network error. C’est un pur scandale car ma station météo ne fonctionne pas correctement depuis 1 an. Il faut que le développeur fasse quelque chose, par exemple branche son cerveau et fasse les tests ### 1/5 — Worst service ever… *2024-07-05, version 2.2.0* Worst service ever ### 1/5 — Application ne fonctionne pas *2024-07-05, version 2.2.0* Aucun suivi pas de réception e-mail pour changer mot de passe alors qu’il est vendu des stations météos qui permettent d’avoir les données sur smartphone-nulle ### 4/5 — ENFIN une MAJ plus de network error. *2024-06-12* Merci pour la mise à jour qui rend l’appli de nouveau fonctionnelle !! ENFIN ### 2/5 — Ne marche pas *2024-05-15, version 2.1.7* J’ai toujours pas reçu le mail pour activer mon compte ils sont vraiment nuls ### 1/5 — App not working. *2024-04-25* Just updated the app and now it will not open Closes and disappears. Tried reinstalling and same results ### 1/5 — WeatherSense *2024-04-24, version 2.1.6* Cela ne fonctionne plus depuis quelques jours ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WeatherSense *2026-02-27, version 2.2.5* The app could be great but it’s not. App comes with the weather station which gives great possibilities, but - First it shows on the main screen the temperature from the station - indoors what is useless. Another thing is the app could have a widgets so the user could have his own weather and predictions and not those from the internet. I wish the people who made it improved it but I have low hopes as I see the notes are so bad and they don’t react. ### 1/5 — No Connection *2025-11-30* App won’t connect to the device. Error messages are not helpful to rectify the problem. It actually contradicts the user manual. ### 1/5 — Not connected *2025-11-16, version 2.2.4* It won't connect to Wi-Fi no matter what. ### 1/5 — Just downloaded app *2025-08-01, version 2.2.4* Can’t get the base to pair with remote 1. How and where to set C or F temp etc. app needs much more work ### 1/5 — Lack of station information *2024-12-28* The app made it easy to set up weather station. However, the IOS app is not very useful as it does only really displays indoor temperature! Also, I am not sure the reported wind speed is correct. The wind speed reported does not equate to the setting of km/Hr. It equates more to a setting of m/s! This is very disappointing! ### 1/5 — Don’t working *2024-12-07, version 2.2.3* Don’t working ### 1/5 — Awful Awful App *2024-11-18* App based in China literally requests your home WiFi PW. How is that even acceptable to the Apple Dev evaluators? Aside from that, the app doesn’t permit me to direct it to a separate home WiFi channel that would permit me to keep it segregated from my personal data. In hindsight I wish I had bought a dumb weather station that reports outside temperature only. ### 1/5 — Very problematic device. *2024-11-02, version 2.2.3* Very problematic device. They lie. It is not working ### 1/5 — Registrierung nicht möglich. Es wird kein Verifikationscode gesendet App daher nicht benutzbar *2024-10-23, version 2.2.3* Registrierung nicht möglich. App kann nicht verwendet werden ### 1/5 — Impossible de connecter la station météo à mon portable *2024-08-18, version 2.2.2* Cette station météo est une catastrophe Rien ne fonctionne Impossible de se connecter sur mon portable pour initialiser la station météo Du coup elle ne sert à rien Pas de calendrier correct La température intérieure est figée Les indications sont indisponibles Je suis très déçue et pas d’assistance pour m’aider Je ne conseille pas cet achat ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Empfehlung ☀️ *2026-01-18* Seit dem letzten Update stimmen die Wetterwerte! 👍🙏 ### 5/5 — Good product *2023-02-23, version 2.1.0* Works fine now, but so far I was not able to integrate into Home assistant. This can be very helplfull ### 5/5 — App funktioniert wieder einwandfrei *2022-12-19* Die App konnte kurzfristig nach einem Update keine Verbindung aufbauen. Nach schneller Reaktion durch den Support funktioniert wieder alles einwandfrei. Danke ### 5/5 — Station météo *2022-12-18* Je n arrive plus à connecter ma station météo sur mon portable ni a internet ### 5/5 — Update to my previous review *2022-05-22, version 2.0.3* All working fine again. I wish to withdraw my 1 star review. ### 5/5 — Works well for me *2021-01-29, version 1.9.0* I downloaded it to work with my Youshiko weather station. Does exactly what I wanted it to, gives me the remote readings. Simple and effective ### 5/5 — Help *2020-05-22, version 1.8.0* Update your program please To have data In the device thank you ### 5/5 — Einfach aber gut *2019-12-29, version 1.7.6* Macht was zugesagt wurde. ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-12-04, version 1.7.6* It takes time to set up us appearing the msgs like the device is not ready, or misconnection. In my case the solution is from set up the device to be-connected in wi Fi by name of maker. In the beginning I was afraid as it was working fine ( to good to be truth) after one year I am full satisfied. ### 5/5 — Super App *2019-11-07, version 1.7.5* EVERYTHING WORKS AS PROMISED. THE PACKAGE INCLUDED A MANUAL IN GREEK!!! RECOMMENDED --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
