Ratings and reviews

App does not run in the background, so if you need to leave the screen or any reason it disconnects. Then you need to physically press the power button on the unit to turn it back on and then tap connect in the app. If I turn it on, I want it to stay on! My Kestrel DROP doesn't do this. I don't have to go to the device and press the power button to connect to it BLE, nor does the app stop working if I switch to another app. Also, they make it hard to see ALL the data fields at once.

The app is not requesting microphone access in its permissions list (it's missing in the app's manifest). Therefore, making all legacy WINDmeter devices which are meant to connect via the audio jack absolutely unusable. This is because Android doesn't allow adding a permission to the app unless the app requests it (which you are not doing). It's not possible to connect the legacy WINDmeters (WFANO-01b) to this app due to this. Please fix asap.

The weatherflow meter doesn't seem to be working. The wind readings are correct, but the temperature is off and it wont calibrate. I breathed on the meter and the temp never got above 74. I went outside,when it was 34 deg and the meter never got below 50. The calibrate option only appears when the meter is disconnected or off. I've tried other apps and they won't calibrate either. I have a Samsung S8. I did try the app on a iOS and it did the same. I'm thinking it's the meter. Please help.
