PWS Monitor

I must say this is my favorite of any app, period. Thank you so much for creating it and keeping it updated. It is very much appreciated. It cuts out all of the nonsense and confusion that W.U. generates and let’s me see at a glance what I need. I would certainly like to make a donation. This is TRULY a 5 star app! Just an FYI... I am sure this will be taken care of soon but I just wanted to point out that after a firmware update on one of my Ambient Weather 2902A stations the wind chill failed to show up in the PWS app. To confirm that it was something to do with the firmware update I went ahead and updated the firmware on my second 2902A station at my vacation home and the wind chill immediately disappeared from the PWS app. I know almost nothing about computers, building apps, etc but I have lived long enough to know that there is no such thing as coincidences. :) I stand by my original review that this is an absolute 5 star app!

As the owner of a PWS (and a NWS meteorologist), I have used/posted to/monitored the wunderground app for years. While that app offers more features (forecast, photos, etc.), I’ve been frustrated by how difficult it can be to use it to find the actual current and past data from an individual station on a mobile device (iPad) - which is where this app is FAR superior! My one request to the developer would be to allow for the option of showing the data from a station selected from the map WITHOUT having to first add it as a favorite.

Love the graphing ability. Best app I've found yet for PWS monitoring. The only thing I don’t like is the graphing intervals. For instance, my UV sensor will have Y axis graphing intervals of 0,0,1,1,2,3.... rather than a standard graph intervals 0,1,2,3... same thing for wind! Currently it has intervals of 0,4,7,11,15,18 on the graph - these numbers are not the same distance apart. This is misleading and poor practice when making any graph. I’m a stickler for accurate representation. Also, it would be nice to have UV readings to the tenth decimal point rather than whole number. My Davis 6163 reports it to weather underground that way. Otherwise, it’s awesome and way more handy than WUnderground and my go to app!

I can get the weather conditions in my front yard 10 times faster with this than the ad-filled weather channel app. The graphs are very useful for historical data which no one else provides. How cold did it get last night? My only complaint is that the barometric pressure readings are off. My only suggestion is to link in a five day forecast. Then I will never use TWC again. Ever! It would also be cool to swipe right and view previous weather. Regardless I love this app and it’s totally worth it.

Thank you for providing the trending charts for the PWS’s. WUG Storm had 12 hour trending but TWC killed that app and went all pretty with less data. The trending charts are invaluable in my area since we can have localized flooding that the other national reports typically miss. If the developer could provide a previous 12 hour trending chart that would be even better than starting over at midnight but I must again thank you for the information you are providing it’s been very helpful.
