| 2024-11-26 |  | | When you click on map view, it zooms out to over 150 miles. Why??? I want to see the stations around me, not a quarter of my state and surrounding states. One then has to spend time on zooming back in to the correct extent. Also, those camera symbols are blocking useful information. And please remove that thick white border around the weather station temperature circle. And put the number on the inside of the circle. AND combine air temp and humidity in the card, it's a waste of space otherwise. |

| 2024-11-16 |  | | The awn plus advanced graphs cannot be refreshed without a clumsy workaround, either quitting and restarting the app or changing the time filter and then changing it back. This is unlike standard graphs and tiles which can be refreshed with a simple downswipe. I reported this a month ago but I've received zero response. Until this is fixed I will cancel my awn+ subscription. |
| 2024-11-01 |  | | Dislike that the app constantly tries to upsell me to read data from a weather station I OWN! Wish I had known before I had purchased and would have stuck to the previous brand I was using. Also, why no widgets? Again the competition has a widget to see my weather right on my home screen. You have to open the app and scroll around to see all the data, poor ux. Disappointed to say the least. Much better wx station options are out there but you're stuck with this ugly app for ambient weather |
| 2024-08-29 |  | | The app is too outdated and too buggy to want to use. Needs a complete overhaul. Would like to see the ability to put the temperature in the status bar. Another thing would be to have it notify you that it's raining outside similar to what tempest does. And why does it have to update every 1 to 5 minutes when it has the ability to update within seconds? I think I might be going back to tempest, they seem to care about their app more. |
| 2024-08-18 |  | | I'm from the old "Virtual Weather Station" days, truly a PC software that was ahead of its time. I just installed a WS2000 with the Ambient app and used multiple sensors. I expected to see more of a colorful rendition than several colors or the ability to change. It would be nice to see a finer detail graph not so choppy, and the boxed info that moves with your finger should be no box, just info at the bottom of the graph. Ambiant is the best, and I'll still give you 5 stars. Wish could say more |
| 2024-06-29 |  | | Just needs really basic improvements to navigation. The buttons on tiles are really confusing. Clicking buttons that expand or contract tiles causes the view to jump all over the place. Switching from graphs to tiles etc kicks you back to the top of the screen instead of holding your location. Why is it always possible to rename tiles? I do it all the time by accident. There should be an Edit mode that let's you rename or reorder cards. Lastly, the social aspect is really dumb. No one uses it. |
| 2024-02-27 |  | | This app used to be on the same as my expensive weather station. Lately, it hasn't been. For example, the app said 0% chance of snow. Wrong! I woke up to 2" on snow! Now it's asking me to upgrade to awn+for a free trial. After spending lots of money on the weather station, I shouldn't be asked to spend anymore! Nope, this app isn't worth wasting memory or storage on your device. |
| 2023-06-26 |  | | I love the product it's self but the app needs improvement or more features. For one a customized drop down notification would be nice showing data that would update at a given interval. And the same would be nice for a home screen widget. Maybe this is in the works but I'd really like to see those features. Also app notifications instead of email or SMS would be amazing. |
| 2023-04-13 |  | | Ok, but design flaws The display settings are from the weather device instead of my app settings. Every station I view looks different and I don't have control (one is in French near me). That's just bad design. I also can't view rainfall in the map view when I click on different stations. It shows forecast only. It's just ok, but has fundamental design issues. |
