La Crosse View for Negative User Reviews
✓ Poor interface for potentially good systemThe devices randomly switch wifi networks and then don’t work. Overview is of little use, so need to drill down menus to see data. A dashboard may improve this clunky 1980s style interface..Version: 1.83.36
✓ Absolute rubbishCan not connect this clock/weather station for love nor money. Changed bandwidth to 2.4ghz to no avail. Still doesn’t work. I now have a fancy coloured alarm clock with no actual weather info. Complete waste of money and I may demand a refund.Version: 1.82.15
✓ Can only connect via 2.4Ghz WiFiTell me which routers in the last 5 years would you ever buy, that ONLY broadcasts 2.4Ghz? I bought this LaCrosse a YEAR ago in early 2020. Yet it will ONLY connect to the WiFi in 2.4Ghz mode! What’s the matter with you people??? You START with OLD technology? I have this device in my living room, and I have an access point in my living room; which is broadcasting in 5Ghz FIRST and PRIMARILY. You want me to walk around outside and get my iPhone/iPad to notch back half a decade to connect to this thing? JUST PUT THE RIGHT CHIP IN THERE TO MAKE IT WORK!!! Guess what? 5G is coming too. What are you going to do about that? C’mon man! Very disappointed! Give me my money back, or send me the next model that you FINALLY put the right chips in there to recognize 5Ghz, and let me access the data remotely without having to be logged into the network. I want to get alerts on my smartphone while I’m away from my home. If I’ve got water leaking while I’m a hundred miles away, I still want to know that! And be able to get someone there to fix it for me..Version: 1.82.16
✓ Mr David DermottIf you were unable to establish connection, it required to many steps to retry. Instructions were however very good.Version: 1.82.16
✓ ClunkyLots of missed opportunities for a nice app. Developers need to look at other apps to see how to make it easier to use..Version: 1.82.16
✓ Rain dataThe rain guage ceased to work after 6 months and it never did provide accumulated data. Then I find the wifi frequencies used are illegal in Australia. Someone in your marketing department needs a good kick and your IT group should be sent back to school..Version: 1.82.16
✓ Won’t work since app update in December 2023The device stopped showing weather info as soon as the update was done and now won’t connect to even show the correct date and time.Version: 1.83.75
✓ Poor WiFi connectionVery unstable and difficult connection to WiFi.Version: 1.83.36
✓ Weather StationWon’t connect to wifi.Version: 1.83.75
✓ PoorWill not link to WiFi no matter now many times you try it’s not on the same wavelength just a clock at the end of the day.Version: 1.68
✓ 🙄Won’t update 🙄.Version: 1.83.79
✓ Poor.This app is crammed full of bugs, shows wrong month, I bought the weather station in Dec but it shows data from November on the main graph!! detailed graphs show the bottom axis in the wrong place, bad scaling and the list goes on. Very disappointed..Version: 1.82.16
✓ Neville KI have not been able to get my Lacrosse weather station app working for months now after it was working correctly for 3 years previously. I’m about to trash the weather station & replace with a new one..Version: 1.82.82
✓ TerribleApp is unreliable (particularly showing rain data) and the latest update does not even load.Version: 1.81.8
✓ SubscriptionFuture users take note this device has a subscription if you wish the app side to continue use,this was not an the box or in this not specified on the Costco website.Version: 1.82.29
✓ Time changeHaving a hard time changing the time to daylight savings time I’ve done everything but it does not work. I am not happy..Version: 1.83.82
✓ Can’t get into my account!!Can’t get into my account! Grrrr!.Version: 1.83.78
✓ LaCrosse WiFi hardwareI have been trying to use a LaCrosse weather station and some times it works and sometimes it does not. It’s great when it works but it fails so often I’m just getting tired of all the failures 🤪🤪🤪.Version: 1.83.79
✓ Disappointing app and slow helpdeskBought the devices and sensors - paid extra for the ability to sync with the app. I love the sensors and receiving device but the application is SO disappointing . It doesn’t load , it rarely syncs With my devices and is frequently- like a few Times a week- out of service . I am so dissatisfied..Version: 1.83.78
✓ Not a good fit for a weather nerd.I really enjoy the concept of having a home weather station with access to raw data and being able to use an app that integrates everything. My frustration comes with the fact that without additional purchasing, you only have access to 7 days worth of data, or in some cases just 24 hours. It also doesn’t log the wind direction in the data, only on the view screen. The other frustrating part is that about a month ago my app is not getting access to the data at all. So when I open the screen to look at what the temperature was last night while I was sleeping, it shows nothing, no current data, no past data, nothing. Admittedly I could spend another couple hours on trial and error to see if I can’t figure that problem out (batteries and WiFi have been eliminated as the problem culprits). In any case, it’s great for looking at during a storm and keeping track of the data yourself, but not so much for archiving information or really gathering data at all. I’m giving it a 4/10..Version: 1.46
✓ WiFi setup too “clever” to workThey have a problem to solve: how do you get the ssid and password to the device with no real user interface (a clock from Costco in my case). Most IOT devices do this by advertising as an AP for setup which you connect to and then app can talk to the device and transfer the real ssid and password. I’ve seen some that use Bluetooth or a microphone or even a light sensor (watching the app blink out data on the screen) to get the data from the app to the device. All of these are kind of clunky but serviceable. After an hour with wire shark I think I see what lacross is trying to do: they have the app send packets with specific timing and try to put the ssid and password into the timing variations rather than the packet data. They probably also try to filter out weaker signals. The unit can’t tell who’s traffic it’s seeing but can see a regular pattern of packets in the air and extract what it needs from that. The problem of course is if there is traffic on your network (or any of your neighbors) it disrupts the timing so this won’t work well. Their FAQ helpfully suggests “your WiFi may be too busy, try again in half an hour”. I’m guessing this may be like the horribly slow and flakey method they use to pair sensors. So given this background my review is one star because it doesn’t work well at all in real life scenarios. I’m returning the clock and will avoid anything that may have their WiFi solution in it in the future..Version: 1.36
✓ WifiMake it able to use 2,4 GHz or 5 GHz .. dam, I am on 2,4 GHz and ut bugg saying it can only connect to 2,4 GHz .. like what the f***.Version: 1.83.78
✓ Why can’t I set an alarm with the app?My daughter really loves the projection alarm, but we are mystified why you don’t have a facility in the app to set alarms? Any chance of this in a future update?.Version: 1.65
✓ Rain gauge is completely inaccurateHave had 21 mm in 24 hours according to our main panel yet the app is saying 3.3 mm. 21 mm is accurate. Can’t find any online fixes and your online support only seems to support US and Canada , I’m in Australia . Maybe you better make sure Costco isn’t selling your products in countries you have no interest supporting ? Is there a reason why your app is not accurately communicating with the main panel ?.Version: 1.72
✓ On the fenceI’m frustrated that app alerts are sent to me in imperial units of measure and not the metric measure I have set as my preferred. Please fix. Also, data stream is cool but limited to just 3 when there are so many choices. Sad. Rain gage information is completely different on internal display than what appears in this app. We had a rainfall event with local totals over 100mm and our internal display reflects this. But the app says we had 30mm. That makes all historic data in the app completely useless..Version: 1.65
✓ FailureFailure to connect to wifi 99% of time. Useless..Version: 1.83.78
✓ Losing patienceThey’ve been saying for weeks that they are upgrading their equipment to handle the amount of users, but I’m losing patience. I don’t think they were ready for the Costco bump. The app works sometimes, even the most recent stripped down version. It doesn’t save any historical data, so you’re better off just looking at the weather center. Rain gauge hasn’t worked in the app for a long time, even though it works at the main base. How long will it take to perform as was promised when I bought this? Aside from that, the user interface is wonky. Why they feel the need for a picture that takes up almost the entire screen is unknown, it’s unnecessary. Also when it starts up it only gives one sensor, there should be a home screen that has them all on. You can get there by clicking the top of the screen, but you have to do that every time. Why don’t they make the app look like the base station?.Version: 1.5
✓ Not happyI’ve had the app about two weeks and for most of that time the sensors have not sent any data to display. To make that worse it display has lost wifi connection so it and the app are not giving any data at all. Not happy!.Version: 1.65
✓ Could be betterThe app itself is good, needs a few tweaks especially around network and configuration. I would have put a 5star review if the following were fixed: 1. Forecast available for anywhere outside the USA. 2. Wifi set up allowing a 5Ghz connection 3. Wifi was more stable (small provider outages cause 48 hours of re-connections) The Hardware is pretty good and accurate.Version: 1.82.16
✓ No internet connectionGiven up trying To connect to the internet . Followed all instructions maybe 20 times but it will not connect.Version: 1.82.57
✓ High on hype, low on capabilitiesBought it at Costco, projects time on ceiling Other than that, it doesn’t tell you the correct weather even though it’s internet based Every reading for snow, rain... etc is always wrong They give you web access for a month Then want you to pay a subscription, which they don’t advertise I’d be scared to buy add on sensors They will like be as inaccurate as the base system If you need a clock, buy it Otherwise Don’t bother.Version: 1.57
✓ JunkTried to connect to wifi for about an hour wouldn’t connect. Online help says contact wifi provider for help. I have the wifi that was supposedly required to connect. Taking it back to Costco..Version: 1.57
✓ Lacrosse weather station doesn’t workI had the device for about three months. Almost every single time I opened my phone app, it displayed only dashes as it did not show any of the information? Several days would go by and none of the digits displayed on the device would change? Clearly as cold as it has been, The temperature would go way down at night and back up again later in the day but the device did not display this? I contacted the company a few times and one of the times they replied back saying that the device will only update once every six hours. So basically four times within a 24 hour. The device changes which means at that exact moment it is displaying possibly the correct digits, but for the next six hours it’s only displaying what it was six hours ago?? In our case the numbers were not even changing and on the phone app it almost always displayed nothing at all. The company never contacted us back the other times and the information they gave us initially did not help so we finally returned the weather station. We purchased one for a Christmas gift for somebody and they are having the same problem. The information displayed even if correct is on our phone app on a regular basis so it’s kind of useless because we were to the understanding it would show the information from right outside of our home. Walmart sells a device for under $10 that shows your inside and outside temperature on real time not only once every six hours..Version: 1.43
✓ Not workingNot working at all not connecting to sensor waste of time unfortunately. Try plenty of times to connect give up at the end..Version: 1.72
✓ DisappointedDoesn’t adjust for daylight savings. Followed troubleshooting guide which didn’t work and ended up setting everything from C to F. Setting up is a pain since it doesn’t work with 5 GHz wifi. Save yourself some headaches and buy a better brand..Version: 1.83.82
✓ Great weather stationMust say the station and it’s display are great, let down badly by the WiFi connection that needs addressing badly.Version: 1.82.16
✓ Don’t buy this weather station.It’s rubbish. You are constantly having to reset and reconfigure to keep it working. It’s pathetic but the software isn’t configured for Southern Hemisphere use. The wind direction is wrong if you place it with the solar panel facing the sun and the seasonal info is also reverse..Version: 1.83.17
✓ Extremely unreliableAfter about 18 months the weather station repeatedly lost connection to my wifi. Nothing has changed. I have two weather devices in two separate locations and both have failed in this way..Version: 1.83.78
✓ Mrs SimsCan’t get my device to connect.Version: 1.83.61
✓ Terrible appHad problems connecting instruments. Got temp working but finally gave up on wind speed and rain gauge. They now sit on a shelf. I can’t believe they expect me to have to learn how to getting into my modem to make system changes..Version: 1.68
✓ Axel44444Doesn’t connect to WiFi.Version: 1.65
✓ Works well once connected!I saw a lot of comments where people couldn’t connect to the WiFi (or only partially) I must admit that I also had major issues to begin with, however, even with a dual band sky broadband router (U.K) I still managed to connect in the end! Would have given more stars if it was made user friendly for all! You have to go Into the broadband settings themselves to gain access. If you’re unsure how, I would imagine you’d have to call your provider which I can only assume will be time consuming and you’d ask yourself if it’s actually worth the hassle?.Version: 1.72
✓ ConnectionPoor performance in connecting to the ap on iPhone and iPad.Version: 1.82.83
✓ At least Twice a year Disconnecting from the internetThe system is regularly getting disconnected from the internet which requires me to screw around trying to get the it connected? Waste of time!.Version: 1.83.78
✓ Leaves much to be desiredAs a software developer I’m sad to see the lost opportunity that is this app. The display that comes with the weather station is a one stop shop. Everything you need is nicely displayed on one screen, but this app is far from that. There is no nice summary display of your weather station data. The information from the various sensors is disjoint, and the app doesn’t even provide access to all of the sensor data that is available. One example, I can’t view the current barometric pressure from the app, but it’s available on the display in my house. Why on earth would you go through the effort of building an app, and create a disaster like this? Nobody wants to browse to three separate sections of the app to view summary data from three separate sensors. Also, the swipe up functionality on the home screen of the app wastes a ridiculous amount of space with a pointless picture. I’m very disappointed. Please fix this mess!.Version: 1.82.57
✓ It used to be okThe screen colours can’t be altered, and some are not easy to read. Now, it will not connect to wi-fi at all, or the app. Their help only regurgitated the usual instructions and it will not connect to the app. I would not buy this brand again. Pity..Version: 1.83.82
✓ When Working.........When this unit (CR8300) has connectivity, it is fun and easy use. We travel a lot and live on the coast, so remote monitoring and our set up alerts are important. However, we are now on our third unit. The first one would not connect to our Linksys router so LaCrosse sent us a new one. This one did not connect either so we bought a different router. This worked great for six (6) months and then it too lost connectivity. LaCross is sending us another base station as it appears the WiFi within the unit is now broken. We can only hope this unit works and works longer than six (6) months. If it doesn’t, we’ll be out of warranty and LaCrosse support states “we’ll see then if there’s anything we can do”. If it were not for these connectivity issues, we would have given this unit five (5) stars. It should be noted that each time we’ve called support, the unit has had to be factory reset, consequently losing all: 1 hour, 24 hour, monthly and yearly totals. This, the connectivity issues and the warranty concern is why this unit only get a three (3) star rating..Version: 1.53
✓ Poor WiFi refreshingI have reset the the devices, reloaded the App more than once. Difficult to get through the full transfer process, but after a short time once data has finally transferred to the App it stops again. App is pathetic in this respect. Worked ok for 6 weeks, now the App is totally useless..Version: 1.82.57
✓ Can’t connectBought this system to monitor house temperatures while travelling. NEVER can you trust this system to work long term. Will work for months, then flake out. Don’t buy it..Version: 1.83.78
✓ UnderwhelmingHaving a massive picture rather than data is silly. It’s a weather app and I got it for weather information not a picture. Being in Australia I have set the app to metric however the alerts come through as inches for rain. Not ideal.Version: 1.82.29
✓ App is a dragThere is not much wrong with the weather station itself but the app is made by some untalented people for a dollar or two an hour. Not one overview display, very unintuitive layout, hard to find historic values. Impossible (?) to see info from longer than a week ago? Zero stars would be better..Version: 1.82.57
✓ The app works sometimes and doesn’t other times. It mostly doesn’t workTerrible app..Version: 1.83.82
✓ Can’t connect to wifiBeen a year now. Can’t connect to wifi..Version: 1.83.82
✓ Cannot connectTried numerous ways cannot connect.Version: 1.83.79
✓ Incorrect rain accumulation records...Rain records is incorrect and entirely inaccurate. This app is trying to tell me that I have had only 0.3mm over the history of an entire year! I just checked. Very incorrect. This makes LaCrosse look very bad at keeping correct records of their weather stations and unreliable..Version: 1.57
✓ The readings on the app aren’t staying onIt’s very hit or miss if I’m getting data to the app not sure what the issue is but I’m not all that happy with it..Version: 1.83.75
✓ ProblemsFinding it very difficult to set up device.Version: 1.83.25
✓ La crosse app and weather stationDoesn’t show all info on weather station. Can only save one day of data. Requires subscription to download a years worth of data, but that seems to be unavailable from the App Store. Do not buy a La Crosse weather station if you want to retain historical data!.Version: 1.83.79
✓ Spent hours to connect to WiFiUnfortunately I will return it back as I and my husband tried for hours to connect the weather station to WiFi... seems to be a great product and I am feeling so sad as I truly wanted to use this product. Has great features but not lucky enough to work for us..Version: 1.57
✓ Rain infoThe rain gauge takes way to long to register.Version: 1.83.61
✓ CrapConnected to my WiFi but that’s about it Won’t transfer login details.Version: 1.82.16
✓ Ok butThe basic app is ok. I don’t like that I have to pay to access all the data. It would be good if the app mirrored all the functionality of the base station..Version: 1.83.82
✓ After years of use, In app purchasing has started…I used to enjoy the weather station and this app and could check all of my sensors easily. I’m really getting to the point of irritation now with the app continually trying to convince me to purchase a subscription service or to buy more sensors… they now place an ad over the better part of the screen that you need to carefully click close to be able to view the sensor information. If this was on a trial basis or something, I could understand that, but making the purchase and then still being force fed ads to spend more money with them is not good marketing. I’m seriously considering dumping the system and looking for what I thought I had with this system, an add free experience. I would recommend you seriously consider how you will appreciate ads blocking your readings until you close them… Not every time, but way too frequently and completely out of line with a purchased system..Version: 1.83.25
✓ Unfortunate and unsatisfactoryHave to say after working for a year and enjoying the weather station have tried numerous times to reconnect app to device with technical support added I find the whole kit unsatisfactory and therefore have disconnected it and thrown it out. Very dissatisfied and disappointed. Ian.Version: 1.82.16
✓ FrustratedSignal from remote unit to base constantly being lost. Not very helpful.Version: 1.83.80
✓ Ok ... but ... 😏The App is OK but lacks in some areas. For instance, setting up the WiFi was a PITA because it only supports 2.4 GHz so, with a WiFi router with both 2.4 and 5 GHz (which most - if not all are nowadays), I had to resort to some technical trickery, including replacing the WiFi router. Forget abour trying to connect it to a Starlink WiFi router - it simply won't let you configure it to split the two frequencies into two logical routers. Second, the history simply isn't there. Ie. I can't view what the lowest temperature of the month was or how much rain we had yesterday. Stupid limitation. Other products offer a very rich data and graphical view of the history several months, even years, back..Version: 1.83.36
✓ The app lacksOther reviewers have commented on the topics I’m highlighting here again. The app does not nearly allow enough flexibility in data display. Users should be able to scale the temperature graph. If I want to zoom in on last 6 hours or last 3 days instead of 7 that should be easy to do in this app. For temp or rain or pressure change or wind speed/direction. Just like the step-tracker health apps for example. The graphs should auto-scale to be viewable both landscape or portrait. Wind data needs to be displayed with wind direction. Currently the app has no tracking/graphing of wind direction changes, just real time current data. If someone is buying a weather station then they clearly care about more than just current conditions. We are here for the data, the patterns, the tracking. Please update the app to reflect customer needs..Version: 1.82.57
✓ Won’t connect device to phoneI’ve trying for an hour to get the app to connect the device to my phone and it won’t. The app just keeps telling me “device connection to the server unsuccessful” and to move further away from the router to get on the 2.4 ghz network. I am on it. I’ve googled this error and searched the website as well and no results. I’ve googled every combination of synchrony phone and device and can’t find anything. It’s astonishing that there’s no help or faq for something so basic. Update a few days later: somehow, the device and the phone decided to synch up together on their own. I’m still not too thrilled about the original issue or complete lack of information on how to troubleshoot it. I do appreciate the developers advising to reach out to them on Facebook for help, but it seems to be an extremely arduous process for what I’m sure isn’t an uncommon occurrence. So bumping to 3 stars.Version: 1.82.16
✓ Alarm/weather station with no program??I really wanted to like the projector alarm clock weather station that I got at Costco, but am so disappointed by the app, that I might return it. I was excited by the prospect of allowing my kids to see the forecast as they woke up, to help them prepare for the day ahead, but the utter lack of design in the alarm’s program features render it almost useless. There needs to be a better way to program the alarm in the app, for which days it should be on and off. Seems like it would be really easy to add this feature, so that you can program a M-F alarm and not worry about turning it off every weekend and back on again for weekdays. Can this be incorporated into an update?? I hope so or I’ll be returning them soon. The app also doesn’t allow you to delete any erroneous stations that are inadvertently created. Which would be another easy fix. I like the display, and the projection features, but wish there was a radio option built in for the alarm. And even though you can turn on and off the alarm with the app, the change is not initiated right away, and so it’s hard to tell if the alarm is actually being set or not. And when I get frustrated and turn it on annually, if I forget to change the app’s “on” setting, the alarm will turn itself back off through the app. This could be a really great product if they make a few small changes, but as it is, I’m more frustrated than happy with it..Version: 1.35
✓ Works some, but otherwise horrible to set upA horrific system that forces you to use the app and all it’s tracking to set up a device. A device that still can’t pull the local forecast and display it with any consistency..Version: 1.83.61
✓ Very poor appThe app is hard to use and doesn’t have nearly as many features as it could have. I’ve had an issue and emailed for help and two weeks later still had no reply. Now my weather station has randomly changed all my recorded lows to 0 with no date. No doubt I’ll get no help fixing that one either..Version: 1.82.16
✓ Terrible device/appThe app is very difficult to use, can’t easily connect to my internet. It’s so frustrating that I’m seriously tempted to dispose of you products..Version: 1.83.82
✓ Waste of time and money.From design to implantation: FAIL! Spend your time and money elsewhere. This is inferior weather data collection device and software. Compare temps with this sensor and known accurate device. Surprise! 10 degree differential. Rain sensor is total waste. Set up is major hassle. Full stop!Update: this company continues to lay an egg. A lame “get in contact with us on Facebook” about different products from different companies behaving differently makes no sense to me. All of the failing products have this company‘s name on them. But there is no disputing when a known reliable thermometer that has been in service for years gives us an accurate and verified temperature reading and Lacrosse’s temperature reading is off by over 10°. There is no argument after repeated attempts and failures for rain sensor to pair with the station. Leave this one on the shelf at Costco. If this is their idea of customer service it’s no wonder the engineering and design is so subpar..Version: 1.82.57
✓ Poor wifi design and reliability.Wifi connection drops out most of the time even though the weather station is within 10 meters of the modem, very unreliable. Then need to configure the wifi again and that process too is very poor and doesn’t work most of the time. The rain sensor doesn’t work and connect most of the time. I definitely would not recommend this product..Version: 1.81.9
✓ Some of the timeIt’s a great app, but only some of the time. It keeps dropping connection to the base, roughly lasts a couple of days, then needs to be reset. Of course I’ve done all the usual stuff to prevent this, but it still keeps happening. A real shame, I’m so disappointed..Version: 1.83.36
✓ Constantly have to re-pair to WifiThe base unit looses wifi constantly. So unable to save and export data..Version: 1.83.79
✓ Pointless alerts and poor outdoor sensors + no spare part availability - AvoidOutdoor sensors fail after a fixed period (erratic outdoor temp when wet - 2 units failed within weeks of each other). No spares available in the UK. Although you set units to C rather than F, all alerts are useless in F. US centric app, don’t bother if your not in the US. Spares and accessories also only available in the US..Version: 1.83.79
✓ MehMeh.Version: 1.82.83
✓ Ability to display dew point temperature with app neededThe software works fine with my main complaint being that it only displays relative humidity instead of the dew point temperature. It would be better if the gave an option to display a graph of dew point instead of the relative humidity. The display of relative humidity is not helpful since it is temperature dependent. For example if the morning low temperature falls to the dew point temperature of 68 degrees F the relative humidity is 100%. If you have a high temperature later in the day of 96 degrees F the relative humidity will be about 40%. If there is no change in the air mass such as with the approach of a cold front or storm system the dew point will be steady around 68 degrees F. A dew point of 68 degrees F will be uncomfortable for outdoor activities and lower dew point temperature in the 50s will feel much better. The display of relative humidity does not give meaningful information since it depends on what the temperature does. It would be a much nicer option to be able to display the dew point both on the screen of the device and the application..Version: 1.82.15
✓ New WiFi, app is useless for connectingThe device is likely headed for electronics recycling..Version: 1.83.82
✓ UselessCannot get mine to work at all it just won’t link to wi fi. I am asking myself what is it? Just doesn’t work. Waste of money..Version: 1.72
✓ Wasted opportunity!So excited to receive this as a gift, so disappointed in the functionality or lack there of. The base station looks great but is almost completely unresponsive to inputs, with buttons not working, replacement rain gauge not pairing, and supported 3rd party apps like accu weather not displaying on the base station to name a few. It has become a brightly coloured desk ornament........ so disappointing. Russell.Version: 1.82.29
✓ Was good until..Worked well for a while, but since moving to fiber based internet and a new modem had nothing but problems with the app. The app doesn’t work off of 5 ghz, only 2.4. The dumbing down of hardware isn’t the way to go. Seems the only solution is to buy a new product. Going to spend my money with a different company. Should have to buy something twice..Version: 1.83.75
✓ I want this to work but it doesn’tThe camera will not focus on the barcode. Tedious….Version: 1.83.36
✓ Pretty dreadfulThe app may be ok if it would actually connect to all your sensors, it’s more that La Crosse Technology is diabolical. Honestly, how hard is it to make an app that just connects to WiFi easily without a load of nonsense and why only 2.4ghz in 2019? The app at present only shows inside temperature and ignores the fact that I have an outdoor wind, temperature etc sensor, it seems to ignore it. It also refuses to show the month on the main monitor once it’s actually found WiFi, the app and the sensor! It’s really not that hard is it? Unfortunately if you have bought a La Crosse Weather Station then this app is your only choice and it’s pretty bad to be fair..Version: 1.53
✓ Lacrosse weatherHas never connected to wifi..Version: 1.83.80
✓ LaCrosse View App stopped communicating with weather stationI’ve had the system up and running for about 3 months now. It was difficult to connect to WiFi, but after a few hours of fiddling around it finally connected and all was well - until today. The app suddenly stopped communicating with the weather station, even though the weather station is still connected to Wifi. I’ve tried everything to get the LaCrosse View app to reconnect with the weather station, but it will not connect. Router works, iPhone works, internet connection works, weather station works, Lacrosse View app doesn’t work. W/E....Version: 1.72
✓ Idiotic- will not connectNeedlessly stupid and profoundly frustrating. Had the internet tech enable 2.4 and ensure every other device would work, but this ridiculous alarm clock is the sole holdout, refusing to connect in spite of every intervention or YouTube video. Don’t waste your money..Version: 1.83.61
✓ Poor stationReceived this as a Christmas gift it was difficult to set up. All set up won’t stop flashing no nist reset done no difference. I call useless I’ve written emails no response. I personally would like my money back. I don’t recommend this station poor product and poor customer service..Version: 1.83.78
✓ US centricI have everything setup for metric and the notifications always come through in imperial. Very minor but very disappointing. Can’t stop it from sending out notifications. Turned all the wind notifications off and it keeps sending. I also don’t need to know the wind is over a certain speed every couple of minutes. One notification every 30 minutes is quite enough. There should be a way to set that and have it work.Version: 1.83.82
✓ Problems now 23/10/22Nice app but recently cannot access stats/ graph for Wind detector. Please fix guys. 25/10/22 Great now not working at all after latest update..Version: 1.83.19
✓ Crap alarm clockConfusing set up, still can’t get the thing to work. The app is useless and apparently I’ve got a free trial until next year, which is in 8 days! What happens then???? Do I have to start paying then. Steer clear of this product. I’m just going to delete the app and bin the clock. Total waste of £20.Version: 1.82.16
✓ GregApp is totally non-intuitive. Connection keeps dropping out way too often (and for no apparent reason) & all I can apparently do in the app is add another device (the same one?). Manual connection unsuccessful because of some ‘band’ problem, but do I move La Crosse away from router or app (phone) away from router to pick up the 2.4 band? Who knows.🤷♂️.Version: 1.83.49
✓ Station great, WIFI/app not greatThe weather station works well and is easy to set up and view. A reliable connection with WIFI and ability to view on the app is not guaranteed. Any drop of WIFI or brief loss of power causes the app to become useless. If you can physically access the base station you can go through the reconfigure process to quickly bring it back on line... however, your phone and station must be within 10 feet of each other. Not helpful if you are away from home and want to monitor weather changes. This also seems to cause a deletion of data when restored. We were relying on this station to provide information about rain/snow fall. Disappointed, but at the price of the station we are not at a great loss. Will look for another more reliable station to provide this critical data..Version: 1.10
✓ Worst app everSuch a disappointing app. I got this to monitor rain levels when I’m away from my property. The app doesn’t update with rain details very often so it’s useless. When it does it gives very little information, no history, no graphs, no comparisons to last year, no breakdown by period. Hopeless.Version: 1.83.36
✓ Oh wellThis thing actually connected to my phone with minimal difficulty (I was inputting the wrong network password; frustrating, but totally my fault). Many reviewers say it only shows the indoor temp and humidity. It will show the rain and wind speed on your mobile device if you follow directions and scan their barcode to add them to the network. The You Tube video made by Lacrosse was very helpful. Also, if you want all the info on one screen, tap the device name at the top center of the screen. It will display "quick view". Now the bad: as another reviewer stated, it stayed connected for about a day. It was nice while it lasted, graphs of temperature, wind, and (probably) rain; outdoor temperature recorded and displayed every 3 minutes or so. Pretty cool, until it didn't do it anymore. The base unit displays "no connect to app server", so I guess there's something I'm supposed to do to reconnect. This gets old, and most likely won't work when I'm away. Other than that, as a weather station "on site", it's pretty good. The remote units have a good range and haven't lost connection with the base as my previous station did several times each day. So, not bad, but not great. I probably won't be taking it back to Costco, but I also won't be running out to get another..Version: 1.5
✓ Notification issueSo far loving the app. A tad hard to get the unit to connect to wifi, after many attempts had to connect via WPS, only way it would connect. But the alerts are in Fahrenheit, yet I have my settings set to Celsius!! I’m in Australia, if my alerts don’t show me Celsius, they’re useless to me! Think this definitely needs to be addressed!!!.Version: 1.82.29
✓ La cross view worksI found the remote data accurate and fast in updating. It is handy to get the rain, temperatures and wind on the iPhone. I do a lot of boating it is essential. I would like to get my forecast on the app on my phone please enhance the application. It is a bit old fashioned and clunky the user interface could be modernised and given more pizzaz..Version: 1.82.29
✓ DismalPoor remote display. Poor instructions..Version: 1.83.78
✓ RéseauRéseau se connecte mal… souvent ne se connecte pas Pas de problème avec les autres appareils sur le même réseau.Version: 1.83.79
✓ Not quite what is promisedThe app does not remember accumulative rainfall data, it also does not pick up weather data out of the US (this was promised). The team were very helpful in setting up the equipment but seem to have gone very quiet since I paid my 3 year subscription..Version: 1.68
✓ Interface is HorribleI received a weather station that works with this app as a gift and almost returned it because the app is so bad. I still may... It’s so unintuitive. Oh, and the network setup through the app is broken. I don’t need a passive aggressive message that I’m not connected to the station when I can clearly see that I’m connected to the console. Ended up just doing that manually by connecting to the console with my computer. Anyway, this is an interface designed by computer programmers with not a single end user consulted in the process. Still haven’t figured out how to display barometer data on the app. I don’t think it can. Guess that’s because it’s an “extra” sensor even though it’s literally part of my main station. There’s those programmers again. It’s getting two stars because it’s better than nothing. That’s not saying a lot..Version: 1.82.16
✓ Don’t bother.This would be the worst weather station I have owned to date. The app keeps dropping out and I have to factory reset the main unit everyday. The main unit drops the house wifi every few hours each day. The rain gauge does not connect to main unit and it’s in direct line approx 5 mts away. Very disappointed with this purchase. I would not recommend..Version: 1.82.16
✓ Not badPhone app needs barometric pressure reading & trending for predictions & should update when app opened not when it feels like it . Only occasionally works when it’s in the mood . App opens with a blank page & no info regularly.Version: 1.83.61
✓ App needs a new designHaving 80% of the screen a picture isn’t the best use of space, would be great if all the sensors were in more of a list on the front page. Also would love to see decimals on the temperature readings, 30.5 degrees for example..Version: 1.46
✓ TimeAfter daylight savings can’t set up the current time. Very disappointing..Version: 1.83.36
✓ Can’t configureCan’t connect the device to a WiFi by holding the +_ together.Version: 1.83.25
✓ TerribleFails to connect to device and internet..Version: 1.83.23
✓ Not for commercial useThe user is unable to modify the notifications style in the app on their device, rendering the product not suitable for horticultural frost monitoring purposes. Please update the app and I will modify my review accordingly..Version: 1.83.25
✓ The device is junk..We have had the device for a number of years. It has not worked more than it has. Awful product..Version: 1.83.61
✓ No hourly rain data in daily viewApp general works but since I installed a rain gauge recently, I found the latest version does not support display hourly rain data in the daily view. However the this data is viewable in 7-day screen when choosing the “data” button. Please fix this bug. [Update] shortly after posting this review, I received hourly display in the daily review. It seems data transmission took some time but it does display hourly data now as expected. Two more suggestions on improvements: 1) hourly data in daily view is only shown in portrait mode, cannot change to landscape mode unlike the 7-day view. 2) The data table in daily view shows 1 line for roughly every 2 minutes but most values are zeros (when it rained in the hour) likely because rain amount in 2 minutes interval is too small (<0.01) to show. Suggest making the interval configurable or fixed at a larger interval (10 mins or more). Thanks for responding to customer reviews..Version: 1.83.19
✓ UselessEven though my device is connected to the internet, cloud data is sporadically updated. Waste of time and money....Version: 1.82.57
✓ Not working againThe system is down more then it is working.Version: 1.83.79
✓ RubbishI switched off the alerts and I still get hundreds of notifications from the device. I changed the settings from Fahrenheit to Celsius and the notifications still show Fahrenheit....Version: 1.81.13
✓ Works but convolutedI hate that you have a “custom pic” taking up the whole screen and a tiny bit of actual weather data at the bottom. I don’t need to see a picture of my deck when I’m standing at a window looking out at it. It would be far better to allow us to summarise the dash so that all the main data for the sensors is presented as soon as you open the app, similar to the actual physical indoor display unit. I can’t see the outdoor temperature and the wind speed without sliding left and right, it’s crazy..Version: 1.82.57
✓ Lacrosse Technology Projection Alarm ClockWould give 5 stars but the La Crosse view app keeps displaying cannot load alarm clock data and shows a yellow warning triangle..Version: 1.53
✓ New router - no connectionAfter a change of router the clock will not now connect to the internet. My WiFi is not split so I can’t know whether my connection is 2.4GHz or 5. I have tried it close to the router, away from the router - nothing works. Help page isn’t helpful just goes over the installation procedure. Rubbish..Version: 1.82.29
✓ Always can’t connect to wifiCan’t find wifi.Version: 1.57
✓ TerribleWon’t connect to my iPhone.Version: 1.83.78
✓ HarryLots of things wrong with this weather station , the rain gauge only reads half the rain at best, takes forever to update, the rain has dried up ( hour or so ) and then the update and wrong at that. The base station losers wifi a lot, ie when you login when away I get zero readings and I know it has rained. Only good thing is the wind gauge spot on..Version: 1.82.57
✓ Pathétique !Difficile à consulter. Besoin d’un widget ça presse !.Version: 1.83.78
✓ Don’t buy, Run!We saw this at Costco and purchased it because it looked really cool. Came home and opened the box. It’s pretty small but the lights look great. The projected clock and weather on the wall was really neat. We have a small apartment. 900 sq 1 bedroom apartment. The set up was quick. Download app and scan clock. Simple and easy. Even tested out the alarm. Placed the clock on husbands nightstand. We even aimed the projected likes to aim right in front of him so he will see the clock. An hour goes by and we are heading to bed No lights. Everything is gone. The alarm had a different time. There is no weather. Future forecast is IN and OK. I tried to reconnect NOTHING. I read the instructions nothing. I took the clock and my phone (IPhone 7Plus) to the modem and router. Arris modem and Linksys router. NOTHING. The alarm changed again, the clock was actually right but everything else is gone. Tried to connect again... Nothing. We will return it tomorrow. Not worth the frustration..Version: 1.36
✓ Keeps dropping WiFi connectionUseless as.Version: 1.82.16
✓ Frustrated!!The weather station is very close today the service provider router, but drops connection so frequently that the weather station is regularly off line. This makes the app and the data collection unreliable and essentially useless. It might be of little regard for a free application, but completely unacceptable for a subscription service!!!!.Version: 1.83.78
✓ La Crosse View unable to figure out WiFi?!?Loved this when we first bought it. Was looking for an additional sensor for another area. Then upgraded our network to a mesh system. Every other device in the house was able to connect without any problem. Not the La Crosse View app! Other devices require 2.4 Ghz channel and are able to find it easily. Not the La Crosse ViewApp. Updates come out with “WiFi device connection improvements” I download in anticipation and try again. Still won’t connect. Instructions say if you have a mesh device you should turn off your satellites and move further away so you connect via 2.4 ghz. Ok, try that. Turn off satellites, walk away from house to get to 2.4 ghz band. Then the app loses the connection to the La Crosse base station. Walk back to house to reconnect to La Crosse base station. Phone still connected to 2.4 ghz but STILL won’t connect. Come on La Crosse, figure out WiFi! Every other smart device I own is able to do it, why can’t you? Bought this specifically because of the “anywhere access” now I can only see it when I am in same room..Version: 1.82.16
✓ AlarmThe app won’t connect to my alarm.Version: 1.82.57
✓ Not what I expectedAfter reading all the reviews, I couldn’t believe this app would only show the indoor temp & humidity. I figured everybody was missing a selection in the settings or something but nope, I just went thru the setup and linking process and just like many other reviewers complained....THIS APP WILL ONLY SHOW THE INDOOR TEMP AND HUMIDITY!!! Somebody really dropped the ball or, La Crosse thought they could fly this by and nobody would notice. None of the developer comments have addressed this issue....perhaps because this can’t be addressed without a rework of the hardware in the station itself. I purchased 3 of these stations at Costco and am happy with the price but, this almost defeats the benefit and need for having WiFi and an app. Maybe that’s why Costco is selling them 30% off. I’m leaning towards returning all three. I’ll wait a few weeks to see if La Crosse offers any assurance here of this being fixed in the future. La Crosse........CAN THIS BE FIXED THRU THE APP?.Version: 1.9
✓ DisappointedI have had the LaCrosse weather station & rain gauge for just over 3 years. I’m on the second weather station and third or fourth rain gauge. Other than durability, I’ve been pleased with the weather station as far as temp and wind speed. The add-on rain gauge has disappointed from the beginning. Numerous calls and replacements haven’t improved performance. I think it’s just a very poor design. It routinely records considerably less than actual rain fall. A recent rain event of 3” was recorded as 1.18” and it wasn’t a heavy downpour. This is typical performance of this gauge from the beginning. Oftentimes, it doesn’t record any rain fall when my other, low tech devices do. So, overall, I’m very disappointed in performance and durability. I would not recommend buying this model or even from this manufacturer as the customer service has not worked to resolve the issues. I would pay more for a better unit from a different company..Version: 1.83.79
✓ Lacrosse weather stationTried with 4 different wifi routers, all 2ghz. Will never connect base station to wifi. I can’t find anywhere in app that will let you view previous days data, or on the weather station itself. Poor products from Lacrosse..Version: 1.72
✓ One Word: TerribleWhat a disappointment. Difficult to set up because of the unit’s inability to connect to WiFi despite me following the instructions to the letter. Yet inexplicably, the unit did finally manage to connect after about a dozen try’s. It then has worked ok, but over time has great difficulty in refreshing data to the app. There is no way that I have found to ‘refresh’ the data on demand. I must wait for the main unit to decide when to update the app, and there’s no rhyme or reason to when it does. Secondly, the main unit has great difficulty in communicating with my WiFi hub despite moving the unit within a couple of feet of the hub. Thirdly, the main unit struggles with communicating with the outdoor modules. I’ve got this unit in my workshop which is a metal building. Perhaps this is the issue with the outdoor modules? Regardless, what was a lovely holiday present, has no practical use except as landfill rubbish..Version: 1.82.29
✓ App Severely LackingFirst of all, this weather station was nearly impossible to set up and I nearly returned it because of this. The app itself is super bare bones and doesn’t track all the data from my weather station. For outdoors, tracking barometric pressure is a must-have -as the trend is important to monitor for rising or falling pressure systems. I get the reading on my home base, not sure why it’s not even displayed on the app at all! The overall design of the app is clunky and not very functional. When you click on your device, most of the screen is a picture you selected and you have to scroll the data up to access it, which seems useless. Also, sometimes you’ll get some false readings that throw off the chart proportions, making it difficult to see the actual trend. It should allow you to filter out the outlier readings. For example if the wind is trending at 3 MPH, there’s no way it spiked to 120 briefly and back down again. Same for temp. It should allow for chart settings, and for me to customize default view. Lastly, it should save lifetime records for the device - record high, low, wind, etc., which wouldn’t be difficult to track if your data is in the cloud. I don’t need the ENTIRE history but a record of those events only, as this makes it more useful/fun to have if you’re doing your own personal station. Lots of room for improvement!.Version: 1.82.16
✓ DIDNT LIVE VERY LONGGreat while it lasted but station can sometimes ‘fall out’ of sync with my fone once or twice a year and sometimes can be very difficult to re-connect. Now it WOULD NOT connect at all. Tried the factory reset, changing the backup battery, disconnecting it from the wall and leaving it off power overnight.................... Oh, will try one more thing next week- A NEW UNIT FROM SOMEONE ELSE!!!.Version: 1.83.75
✓ GHOverall a good system but I have 2 issues, when notifications on my phone appear for wind speed or temperature that I have set, they appear in Fahrenheit not centigrade, although I have set it correctly in the settings menu. The other is the graphs do not appear within the app, I have tried going into account and saving and then closing and restarting the app and also tried logging out but nothing has worked. I have emailed support but they don’t seem to bother coming back to me, come on guys please sort this out or I will give it 1 star!.Version: 1.82.16
✓ UpdateThis is an update after giving a scathing review a few days ago after extreme frustration with setting up WIFI. I have now discovered a pattern to the App’s problems. My La Crosse V22v2 hardware works great and the weather station can work as a stand-alone device without WIFI. You simply push different buttons to drill down for further weather data. The problem is that I paid more for this particular model specifically for the WIFI capability. I have strong WIFI with fiber optic service. And I know the weather station is connected because I can confirm the 2.4 connection on my EERO App. The weather station works well in the morning and at night, but is EXTREMELY slow during the day. I assume it is the server that hosts the weather station App. It doesn’t seem to be able to efficiently handle the daytime traffic. So, if you are considering buying the La Crosse weather station for its WIFI connectivity, I can only recommend that you seek out another brand where their App works properly..Version: 1.83.79
✓ Terrible support. Wifi won’t workLogged support jobs and sent so many emails. Only received one generic response that didn’t answer any of my questions. Wifi never worked from the start. Ended up returning the product. Shame - nice device..Version: 1.81.8
✓ Wi-FiSe déconnecte souvent du wi-Fi.Version: 1.83.78
✓ Phone app updates erratic ( not reliable)The equipment, ie weather station and remote thermostat are correct and do update to the display in my home. The phone app does not update on any discernible frequency. Example: The phone app might show the weather Sta updated anywhere from “just now” to several hours earlier. The remote thermometer time of update on the phone app never matches the time of update for the weather station, and the time of update can be anywhere from “just now up to 2 days and several hours. I fail to understand why this occurs and this phenomenon has rendered my phone app useless. The different pieces of the system need to be in sync when updating the phone app. I am a plant grower and I need to know when the temperature is exactly 32 degrees or lower in the winter months. Plants freeze below 32 and requires my attention to prevent freezing plants. I am hopeful that this situation improves. I have been unable to recommend your equipment to other growers for the above stated reasons. Thank you..Version: 1.83.79
✓ Not too bad; too many adsSo this is what happens when marketing has too much say in app development. Way too many offers to buy things, way too few ways to view data. I’m not a weatherman, I don’t need months and months of historical data and other stuff, but I sure would like to at least see a summary of totals by month or week or something. With this you get live data right out of the box, but that’s about it. Very limited rain and wind history (although not visible on the same devices) and absolutely zero history of anything else. On the other hand the process for adding instruments is easy easy easy. I did have a problem with one of my instruments initially, but customer service was very quick to troubleshoot and replace the defective component. All in all I like the product, but the app just seems a little lacking..Version: 1.83.36
✓ Focus on winds not picturesUpdate: needs ability to calibrate sensors. Baro pressure consistently 5inHg low. Home screen for sensor is a picture (useless) and a couple parameters. Takes multiple steps to yield wind trend information where a customizable Home Screen could yield at a glance. Update: a. winds are only able to be set to mph and kph on unit. I.e. knots not available. Need to be able to set for knots on unit and app. b. WiFi setup method pretty lengthy resulting in mobile device switching away from display unit causing user to repeat physical scan process of display unit SN (despite the app still showing the unit SN info). Note: app does offer tip to disable LTE but omits disabling auto join of other WiFi networks. If device just connected to WiFi and did the long config steps none of this would be a factor. c. Should have ability to set/calibrate baro reading without waiting for the manuals described 10day auto cal of baro..Version: 1.83.36
✓ Can’t manually update dataThis app is pointless until it has a function to refresh the data. How is that not core functionality developers? Or at the very least update when the app is opened..Version: 1.68
✓ Gowno niedzialaNiedziala szrot.Version: 1.83.61
✓ Currently unreliableOften not working.Version: 1.83.36
✓ 3 years later and they still haven’t resolved the connection issues3 years later and still haven’t resolved the connection issues to be able to connect to the internet with the weather station.Version: 1.83.75
✓ Utterly uselessNo mater how many attempts I make, this app just will not connect my weather station to WiFi. I have tried everything suggested but to no avail. A piece of useless crap which will be getting returned to the shop..Version: 1.68
✓ Please undo updateThis lasted update, that included wifi, I now can not connect to any devices, please fix or undo what you’ve done. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, which has been no help..Version: 1.83.19
✓ Disappointed at first. Happy now.I was excited to buy the weather station. When I got it home, had it mounted and got it connected to the app I was disappointed because the app only showed dashes. I called Lacrosse and was left on hold for 2 hours. When they answered they took my information and said the issue would be looked into and I would receive a call inn24 hours. Well I never received a call. So I called back. This time a very helpful young lady answered. She said a trouble ticket had not been entered. At this point I was livid. 😡. She too the information once again and said there is a known issue with the app but it will be fixed quickly. She told me to keep Checking the app. So 15 minutes later I checked the app and it’s working great now! If I would not have this issue I would have rated this 5 stars. But customer service is golden!.Version: 1.11
✓ App does not refresh sensor data often enoughSometimes this can be 5-12hours and each sensor is refreshed at different times. At least every 15 mins would be nice or what’s the point?.Version: 1.82.29
✓ Not very stableRain gauge tends to loose connectivity quite often, many times it won’t send a recording for several hours. Other times I have to reset the whole system Data log is only for one 24 hour period without upgrading, a bit miserable The 24 hour period recording data is a bit confusing.Version: 1.82.15
✓ Quite uselessMy second lacrosse weather station. I highly do not recommend this brand. Get anything else but lacrosse tech. My first station quit work after 2 years. This one had wifi connect and I though great. The hardware is ok. The lacrosse view is horrible. Depending on the sensor, the lacrosse view May up date the data anywhere from a few minute to days later. The main display will up date indoor temp usually with in a hour. My outdoor temp sensors, well updates hours or days later. Ie the last update was 23 hours ago. It show on the main display ok, just the app doesn’t work..Version: 1.83.78
✓ DST no longer worksDST no longer changes despite following power tests etc suggested by LaCrosse. Can’t set time zone in app any more, just country and city/postal code..Version: 1.83.82
✓ Lacrosse Weather StationThis system would be great if it worked, however since purchasing the system at Sam’s Club, the display module and the sensors worked great... However after about 45 days the system lost WiFi connection, contacted Lacrosse via email, since they have no customer service you can call and physically talk with a rep, no response... After @ 5-6 months, ran across something while surfing the web, was able to get a link that gave instructions on connecting troubles to WiFi and what to do... Went through the steps didn’t work, and the end of the tutorial, gave you another link to report a faulty display, Lacrosse notified me via email and said a new display would be sent, only display no power adapter... After a couple of weeks, yesterday I received my new display... Using the original power hooked up new display unit, was back up and running... That’s great right... Well today, wind gauge works, water sensors working and Display Unit working, can view all data on my smartphone... Great, not so great, well the outdoor temperature and humidity sensor stopped displaying, change the batteries brought it in, won’t sync... Watched another tutorial, need to reset your system to factory settings... Did that, now back in the same place I started... Display won’t connect to WiFi and Temperature & Humidity doesn’t work... Great... Just saying don’t waste your hard earned money on this system....Version: 1.68
✓ Rubbish AppThis unit does not connect to the wifi no matter what you try. Not user friendly at all . I would not recommend this at all.Version: 1.83.36
✓ Sadly UnreliableThis weather station is very dissapointing. I bought it from Kee Valley who I tend to trust, but it has rarely ever worked properly. It does not show any measurements in metres, only Fahrenheit. The wind gauge worked intermittently then simply will not communicate to the base stand. I have rebooted dozens of times, changed batteries and it simply will no longer collect the wind data. So dissapointing..Version: 1.83.75
✓ Great concept, shocking operationThis product when it works is great! Unfortunately it constantly fails to work..Version: 1.83.78
✓ Waste of timeThis is the worst app I have ever had. Only work 50 percent of the time. So if you have the water sensors, you could have a leak and never know. Mine hasn’t worked in the last 3 days this go around. See if it decides to come back online in the next month. Not worth the money..Version: 1.83.79
✓ Won’t connect to my wifiDevice won’t connect to my dual band modem. At the root is that this device uses the obsolete 2.4 GHz band and is very difficult to connect even to a dual band modem. Poor engineering..Version: 1.83.82
✓ Pairing is painful!99% of home gateways are now 2.4 and 5 GHz. This device must be the most difficult to pair. On my Netgear Orbi mesh network, I had to switch off the 5 GHz SSID and physically switch off the satellites, to create an old-school 2.4 GHz system. Even then the app couldnt pair! Given up!.Version: 1.83.25
✓ DisappointingDisappointing to buy a La Crosse weather station and then find out I have to pay a monthly subscription to get access to my own weather data if I want anything more than one day of history. Feels like I have been ripped off. Note also that units are American when it sends alerts so make sure you know how to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius as the app won’t do it..Version: 1.83.61
✓ UselessWon’t connect to WiFi. The main reason I bought this model was so I could connect it to the internet. It cost twice as much as my previous station and looks like it’s worth half as much. Wish I’d read these reviews before wasting my money..Version: 1.83.25
✓ Poor service for non North American countryTry registering this product if you do not live in Canada or USA. The app will not let you submit your details with an address outside of Canada or the USA. It implies that the rest of the world does not matter. Shame on you La Crosse..Version: 1.65
✓ Good monitor, terrible appLove the weather monitor, accurate and conviennent. My issue falls with the app. Such a miss from lacrosse, doesn’t even display all the information from the device. Displays literally the bare minimum, very frustrating. Wouldn’t be hard to display the information it already knows, and the format of the app is unappealing aesthetically as well. Monitor itself is rated highly, and the app terribly, so I cut the difference with a 3star review. Don’t buy if you’re excited for the app.Version: 1.83.36
✓ Cannot connect device!Unable to use.Version: 1.83.19
✓ Such a failure for something that should be simpleThis app is horrible! I just got the unit and so far it took forever to get it to link to the WiFi. This app wouldn’t get the unit to connect, I had to use their “softAP” version with my laptop to get it to finally work. Now that it did, it still hasn’t updated the time, even though instructions says it checks time every 6 hours. We’re on hour 12. App hasn’t updated in 12 hours either so it’s showing data from then. What is the point of that?!?! I should be able to open the app and see the data right now. I should also be able to “update data” to get current info any time I want. I should be able to pull down the screen on the main page and get it to refresh. Or at least a refresh or update button. Honestly, at least the device itself seems to work, but due the money I spent, full functionality would have been nice. For the experience I’ve had, I’d say the app is completely useless. And they want to charge you for a subscription to store more data when it’s not even syncing?!?! Get outta here! This app needs a total revamping!!.Version: 1.83.25
✓ POOR RELIABILITYHave seven La Crosse Technology Wi-Fi Color Weather Forecast Weather Stations, Model: V15. Past eight months, nothing but constant connectivity issues with displays not updating all formation, dropping information on displays, incorrect forecast, constantly having to unplug power to affected V15 weather stations, replug power back to weather stations, having to push the “refresh” button numerous times to obtain current forecast information, and to repeat some of these steps several times. Despite La Crosse Technology updating the weather stations to the latest firmware, replaced AT&T Gateway, tweaking settings in Linksys Mesh tri-band router, eliminating some of the weather stations on-line at one time, nothing has corrected these issues. When purchased over one year ago, all weather stations functioned normally. No issues. Then eight months ago, all of the aforementioned issues transpired. Personally, believe the issue to be with the La Crosse server(s) and/or Accu-Weather where weather data is obtained by La Crosse Technology. Could also be a firmware issue due to first generation and age of V15 models..Version: 1.83.78
✓ Good, not greatPairing devices is a pain, after a year the wind unit routinely doesn’t update for days sowing a low battery after changing out fresh ones twice. This would be fine we’re it not for mounting the unit high enough to catch reliable wind without obstructions. Similar issues with the rain gauge losing connection and not syncing. I received it as a gift so I’m happy with that, I’m only reluctant to replace failing units at the cost they are knowing they may again have issues or fail in due time. Beyond all that the fact that they do not hold onto historical data without a subscription (beyond 7 days) is pretty sad. The app itself is cumbersome to navigate and the data viewed in graphs forces portrait mode for 1-day and landscape for 7-days, making it difficult to review trends easily. If the rain, wind, outdoor, and base station cost $99 and a $5 monthly subscription with more reliable pairing of the units I’d see the value. Doubling that or more? Not so much, even for a weather geek like me. I’ll try another product first before coming back to this one and investing for a longer term, more reliable solution..Version: 1.83.25
