### 2/5 — Im Prinzip gut

*2023-12-23*

aber seit dem Update werden weder die Werte noch die Grafiken angezeigt

### 2/5 — Problém

*2022-12-29, version 1.0.53*

Přidat zařízení lze, ale aplikace přestala zobrazovat data z meteostanice, zobrazuje nulové hodnoty. Doporučujj použít aplikaci WSView Plus od stejného vývojáře, ta funguje perfektně.

### 3/5 — Wsview

*2022-11-24*

I find it hard to read the data on the Live Data screen as it is presented in blue.  I think it should be black. Or have an option for the user to update text color, which would be a more extensive change.

My device is an iPhone SE (small screen)

### 1/5 — App funktioniert nicht mehr

*2022-11-21, version 1.0.53*

Bitte auf neues IOS 16.1 fixen, es werden keine Daten angezeigt.

### 1/5 — Keine Daten

*2022-11-21*

Die App zeigt schon seit langem keine Daten mehr an. So absolut unbrauchbar.

### 2/5 — Не работает

*2022-11-20*

Приложение перестало работать, все данные метеостанции показывает 0.0, либо «null». Раньше все было хорошо. Аналогичные приложения работают.

*2022-11-10*

Leider funktioniert die App nicht mehr. Es werden keine Daten mehr angezeigt wenn man eine Station von Wunderground einträgt.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2022-11-07, version 1.0.53*

No error messages or clues to what’s going on, just stopped showing data.

### 2/5 — Bad performance since last update

*2022-11-03, version 1.0.53*

In the latest update of iOS 16 the application does not show the data in it, both the screen and the wunderground web work correctly.
We urgently need a solution from the administrator.

### 1/5 — Alles auf null

*2022-11-02, version 1.0.53*

App zeigt keine Werte mehr an alles auf null.

### 2/5 — Lost all stations

*2022-11-01*

When the app is working it’s great - but 2 weeks ago it stoped working and I can’t view any of my stations…. They work through other apps, but I tried on other phones to no avail

### 2/5 — broken for me since ios 16

*2022-10-30, version 1.0.53*

since i updated my iphone 14 pro to ios 16 the app is no longer working. it does not connect to the station and displays empty data. 
the station is still reporting properly to the physical display and wunderground.

### 3/5 — Stopped working in last week

*2022-10-29, version 1.0.53*

For some reason the app is now showing no  measurements from the weather station. Stopped about a week again. I have tried re linking the device, no change and also deleting and reloading the app, no change.
What is happening? Has been working fine for the last 18 months!!

### 1/5 — Defunct

*2022-10-28, version 1.0.53*

Current version with latest iOS on iPhone 13 Pro (16.1) would not pull and display data.
Data is available on website, though.

### 1/5 — No conecta

*2022-10-28, version 1.0.53*

No conecta con la estación

### 1/5 — Terrible functionality.

*2022-07-23*

Configuring a new device is impossible. The app is very clunky and will not connect to wifi or the base station. I am now opting to run my weather station offline and not bothering with this app. Fix it!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Rubbish.

*2022-06-05, version 1.0.53*

Wil not connect to WiFi. Tried so many times on different devices. Gets to configure device screen and just get the spinning wheel for ever.

### 2/5 — Useless. App doesn’t keep sensor assignments

*2022-04-24*

I have 4 garden soil moisture sensors and the app seems to randomly shuffle the names of the sensors which means that when I check the moisture content on the app, I frequently water the wrong plant. It means it’s less than useful. 

You basically still need to just stick your finger in the soil to determine if it’s wet.

### 1/5 — No actualiza ultimo firmware en Iphone 14 pro

*2023-09-15, version 1.0.53*

No actualiza ultimo firmware en Iphone 14 pro y es un truño de la edad de piedra, parece que la han hecho en un sotano, he cambiado el router y no hay manera de conectar la estación a no ser que la configure de nuevo.

### 1/5 — Es werden keine Daten mehr angezeigt

*2023-06-30*

In der App werden keinerlei Daten angezeigt

### 1/5 — Nichts zu sehen

*2023-05-21, version 1.0.53*

Liefert Daten auf die Website liefert Daten auf das Display aber hier wird nichts dargestellt. Bin zu myPWS gewechselt was für eine Verbesserung

### 1/5 — App funktioniert nicht

*2022-12-09, version 1.0.53*

No work IOS 16

### 1/5 — Nach Update keine Anzeige der Wetterdaten mehr

*2022-12-08*

Nach Update keine Anzeige der Wetterdaten mehr obwohl Daten an Wonderground gesendet werden. Mit WSView Plus werden alle Daten angezeigt. Daher Bug in der App und nicht mehr nutzbar. Schade

### 1/5 — This app has been replaced by WSView Plus

*2022-12-04, version 1.0.53*

If you, like me find this app no longer gets weather data, you may have to change over to the WSView Plus app, which worked for me

### 1/5 — Not userfriendly, not working…

*2022-11-23, version 1.0.53*

Very unsatisfying app! Manual not helping, Setup not easy and data not showing from station on phone…

### 1/5 — Zeigt leider keine Daten an

Einrichtung der Wetterstation hat funktioniert, daher ein Stern.

### 5/5 — Simply and working

*2022-02-21, version 1.0.53*

With Gogen EM 3900

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2021-01-01, version 1.0.39*

🇮🇹 Ho scoperto questa app per caso, mi ha permesso di collegarmi tramite rete locale alla mia personal weater station misol hp2550, aggiornarne il firmware e compilare i parametri per l'upload ai vari network tra cui: weatherobservationwebsite, ecowitt, weathercloud, wunderground. Ottimo lavoro!!
🇬🇧 I discovered this app by chance, it allowed me to connect via a local network to my personal weater station misol hp2550, update its firmware and fill in the parameters for uploading to the various networks including: weatherobservationwebsite, ecowitt, weathercloud, wunderground. Good job!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-12-27, version 1.0.39*

I have previous app WS tool, which was ok for setting up station when I got it. Just found this version today which allowed me to update firmware on station to latest and also see live data.

Excellent thanks

### 5/5 — Upload funktioniert wieder seit EasyWeatherV1.5.3

*2020-09-04*

Prima, es läuft wieder alles. Gut gemacht! Danke + weiter so! 👍

### 5/5 — App funktioniert im 2.4 GHz WLAN

*2020-08-10*

Schön wäre es, wenn im Homescreen Ecowittdaten und nicht die von Wunderground angezeigt werden könnten.

Ansonsten tadellos.
Ich schätze die vielen negativen Bewertungen kommen daher, das es nicht selbsterklärend ist in das AP-WLAN der Wetterstation zur Konfiguration zu wechseln.

### 5/5 — Sehr ansprechende App

*2020-07-18*

Stabile App mit allen Funktionen die es braucht.
Regelmäßige Verbesserungen und Erweiterungen im Zusammenspiel mit neuen Sensoren von Ecowitt.
Und die Temperatur wird mit Nachkomma angezeigt.
Weiter so.

### 5/5 — So far, So good

*2020-05-04*

Today I set up my GW1000 Gateway and Soil Moisture Sensor, and the app does exactly what I want it to do: connect the GW1000 to my phone, and connect the soil moisture sensor to my GW1000. It tells me the soil moisture of my plant and reliably updates the data. 

Seeing as everything is working well, I’ll be getting more soil moisture sensors for my other plants.

### 5/5 — Molt bé

*2019-12-24, version 1.0.30*

Ha estat molt senzill, he posat el nom de l’estació i m’ha començat a donar tots els paràmetres en temps real.

### 5/5 — Spartanisch, aber OK

*2019-11-06*

Grundsätzlich funktioniert bei mir alles, das App Design lässt zu wünschen übrig. Einen eigenen Upload Server einstellen ist super, das kann nicht einmal eine teure Davis Wetterstation.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-08-13*

This app is designed to capture and present data from my EcoWitt PWS. It works very well and provides a reliable and clean stream of weather information. It has been continuously updated over the last several months and I enjoy using it. Highly recommended.
