Tempest Weather for Negative User Reviews

✓ A Nice Looking App With Room For Improvement.A first generation app for the new Air and Sky weather station duo. It's nice looking and is clear and responsive. It's a shame the stylish look isn't carried over to the history graphs which are plan and simple by comparison. Integration with Weather Underground works well. A nice feature to be added to an update would be to allow the front screen, showing all the current data, to stay up and visible all the time the iPhone was plugged into power. This is possible with other apps such as sat-nav and would make a nice night stand feature. I can't wait for the Sky weather station to be released in order to complete the apps full potential with such data as windspeed and rainfall..Philip ProntoVersion: 1.58

✓ Works pretty well. Apple Watch app not quite there.I love the station. Temperature especially seems to be very accurate, hot sun or not (my previous brand of weather station suffered from this. Signing a second person in seemed to somehow cause me to have to reactivate it. I would have thought “sign in, username, password” should have done it. Good since then, though. I am looking into adding my station to some local websites. Exciting! I was thrilled to see there was an Apple Watch app available, and I could add it as a complication, which is great, because the standard Apple weather is not accurate at all for my location. Unfortunately, the watch complication and app doesn’t seem to update properly; I have to tap the complication and go to the app, tap a couple of times to bring it up to date. Then it updates, and the complication is up to date. Until the next time. I’m not sure if it updates automatically at all; at least, not yet. Edit: I have to restart my watch to get it to refresh, and even then it’s hit and miss. The documentation on the website doesn’t seem to be up to date in terms of adding a widget to a website, which I would like to do. There is a section to generate an - apk? Doesn’t seem to work..Alan Smithee the firstVersion: 5.16

✓ Can not use without buying hardwareIf you dont own a tempest wx station you actually cant use this app AT ALL. Im not sure what the point of crowdsourcing weather information is if others can’t take advantage of all the details gathered in the surrounding communitys. Its currently a scary severe thunderstorm and I was hoping this app could help me out. But now Im just disappointed and upset. Your greed from hoarding this data is abhorrent! I refuse to contribute to the problem so now Im not buying a station! I would have been an easy sale! I thought this would be like the Neighbors app from ring..Logan1057Version: 5.01

✓ Tapping anything displays a white screenNo matter what I tap on, I get a blank white page with the title ‘tap graph for details’.Zen6oxVersion: 2.51

✓ Not bad, but simplisticIt gives you the information you need, but takes a little figuring out to determine how to read some of it. It is utilitarian, not very sophisticated. I am used to weather stations that display weather data in a cluster of instrument gauges that looks very professional, whereas this is simply a blue and white set of numbers that any high school programmer could create..MidiByNightVersion: 4.22

✓ Good hardware, disappointing appNice hardware, but i feel like the app is trying to hide the actual info from my personal weather station behind forecasts and things I’m not interested in seeing. The old version was preferable, where it was just my station’s readings, history, and graphs, but now that’s hidden away under the little icon at the top, and launching the app always starts me in things I have no interest in. These changes also impact the web links, but you can modify the URL for the old interface. Additionally, you can’t set the unit to Celsius and then share the web link to your station to your American neighbours as they can’t then view it in Fahrenheit, your personal preference is also what’s reflected on the web link, instead of allowing them to pick unit..Electric MonkVersion: 4.10

✓ Power Outage Dropouts 😡Big storms? Pass… No data storage!!! Ahh Drops out along with your power. Label your graphs. Purple background becomes tiring..Ehm ehVersion: 5.14

✓ Would Appreciate Getting the Functionality From The Weather Flow App RestoredLowering the rating to one star due to the support staff in the app support forum deleting questions from long standing users as to why functionality was stripped from app the new app. The equipment is useless without the interface and the original purchasers and supporters of Weatherflow Smartweather purchased the product in good faith and trust. 5 panels or detailed information on the stellar original app are missing in the new app. Since the equipment is totally dependent on the app to view the data, I would appreciate the original panels be restored as they have been condensed into one summary panel without the detail The new home page on the new app is way to busy and icon laden and the weather forecast shown is not the reason for buying a weather observation station. Forecasts are available from many other apps and sources however our home weather data is not. It’s all about our station data..NCHighCountryWXVersion: 4.01

✓ Don’t waste your moneyI owned several of these weather stations and this one was the most expensive. I like that the battery stays charged and no moving parts. The station is not accurate with rain fall and don’t get me started on wind speed, we have had 50 mph winds only to see 13 or 14 mph on the sensor. This station for what I paid is highly disappointing! I was looking for a more accurate one and still haven’t found one except the National weather service. Save your money and use the National Weather Bureau!.Skully312991680Version: 5.04

✓ So much data, so underdeveloped a graphing interface.The app has nice front end main pages, but if you want to dive into the data, it’s severely lacking. The graphing UI is clunky, slow, and barely seems to support multitouch. I have a $30 Govee sensor that presents temp and humidity data in a far better fashion in its app. Honestly, it seems like a pretty unrefined port from another platform. Some suggestions: Leverage the powerful multitouch UI capabilities of iOS to make data exploration more seamless (eg live horizontal / time and vertical / scale pinch to zoom). Allow custom graphs overlaying any number of data features at a time, or stacking graphs to show multiple features in time sync. Build data graphing / trends into the main pages. Just check out a Bloomberg terminal or news show to see some very effective and compact text and graphical hybrid data presentation. I look forward to what the developers can do with all the data they have to share from a very nice piece of hardware..NixlimitedVersion: 4.05

✓ Alexa SkillI have weather stations at both of my properties to monitor conditions remotely. Despite the houses being smart and the stations functioning well, the WeatherFlow Skill does not show the Tempest card on the Alexa Show 15's home screen—it remains blank. This issue defeats the purpose of a visual display, making it tempting to switch to a competitor's app, which undermines the benefits of the Show. I hope this review prompts a swift fix from the developers, after which I would be glad to update my review positively..BbrjeffVersion: 5.18

✓ Northern Mexico UpdateYesterday here just north of Albuquerque, Northern Mexico we had rain, freezing rain, and snow accompanied by 45 mph winds. The Tempest was spot on wonderful for the winds. But NOT for the precipitation. My AccuRite station (and four other non-Tempest weather stations within 0.25 miles) all recorded between 0.46” and 0.52” of precipitation. My new Tempest recorded 0.22” of precipitation. That may have been correct for the liquid precipitation, but it completely missed everything else. I am very disappointed. Is there a “workaround” or “fix” in the recording/reporting software for the non-liquid types of precipitation???? The iPhone app is pretty decent once you learn all the tricks for expanding the particular area if interest (wind, precipitation, temp). I wish there was a weekly/monthly/annual ytd summary available. And the interface with WeatherUnderground is perfect - simple, accurate, continuous..RonTheAppraiserVersion: 4.15
