Ratings and reviews

This app is decent, but it's clear that it's a work in progress. The trending is mediocre, and the 48 hour trend flat out doesn't work for temperature. They really need to improve the units for the x-axis. Alarms are also goofy since there's zero explanation on what they mean. If I want to set an alarm for lightning, my options are "high lightning", "low lightning", and "equal lightning" along with selecting a number. Huh? The temp trending arrow is backward. Temp goes up shows arrow going down

1st unit failed in less than a week. It was replaced free of any charge, good on them! The replacement lasted a little longer maybe two weeks before it quit sending the most critical information. I changed the batteries as the trouble shooter advised then it wouldn't even even work at all, no red light blinking, the display couldn't find it. I emailed twice and no answer and it's been weeks. Cheney was a decent customer oriented responsive company. After years of using their products, I am done.

Optimus is 10% as useful as Iris. App is 5% as useful as before. Buggy and slow, and the app sends alerts every five minutes for temperature until the temp goes above the threshold again. App notifications just keep coming constantly, with no ability to change the settings after they're set. Can only disable. Windows pop up in the app with no visible text, and imaginary buttons you have to guess where they are and what they say. Support doesn't respond.
