Ratings and reviews

Normally not a bad app, but not that uncommon for it to indicate data not available on the widgets. Also, yesterday, while getting 0.4" rain the home screen of the app only showed cloudy, it did not show Rain rate, accumulation, as the app descritption says and as it used to. To find that I had to tap on the home screen and look at the stats. Not that helpful.

The best weather station out there for a personal home station. This review is of the app, not the station itself. The app is clean, easy to understand, and has everything you need to see, all in real time. I would ask the developers to address 2 items. 1st, optimize the widgets as they don't properly fit and scale to the box size. They should stretch and scale as you change the size for your needs. 2nd, add the Dew point to the widget. cheers!

Really like the weatherstation and app. They just need to come up with some method of toning down the lightning alerts. Maybe an option to allow 1 per hour? Woke up this morning to 16 lightning alerts. Otherwise it's great, can't recommend it enough. Also, since last update, it regularly says " no recent observations". Hit refresh and it's fine.
