Configuring the weather station to the app is a terrible experience. It should be so simple however with many attempts thinking I was doing something incorrect, I couldn’t get the app connected. Then and good thing I read another review, I rebooted my device and the config finally worked. Once it’s setup the dashboard looks good.

This app makes it very easy to connect my Ambient weather station. I would give it another star if it also allowed app based calibration. Incidentally, the wind meter is poorly calibrated in the factory configuration, which is really disappointing in that I really don’t want to spend more money buying another device just for that.

I didn’t have any problems setting it up, so I can’t complain. If you have multiple WiFi bands make sure your device is hooked up on the lower band or it won’t work.

it wont even show the name of my network that is currently connected. The spelling mistakes in this app tell a tale of cheap chinese-made trash with no quality control whatsoever. I guess I’m sending back the whole weather station, I can’t use it at all in this state. Take a hint from GoPro on how to handle wifi-based config, it’s definitely possible to make this an easy user experience.

This app requires you to modify your wifi network to connect to the base monitor. So, I’m supposed to turn reconfigure my netgear router and extenders just to connect to the Ambient weather station?? What are these folks thinking? I bought this for my wife for Christmas, so I guess we”ll have to get by with the base station and forget the wifi.
