Tempest Weather App Reviews

I bought this primarily to keep track of rain on a remote property I manage and unfortunately the rain totals by event on average are off by 50 to 100 percent. I have a manual rain gauge that I installed next to the station and if we get a heavy rain the station might read 1.5 to 1.75 inches whereas the manual rain gauge will be filled to the .75 inch mark. I wish there was a way to self report for my station to help it calibrate the sensor closer to reality.

Quick information on demand. The historical information from my personal weather station has been very helpful. And it’s nice to know actual conditions at my home via the app, especially when traveling.

So the biggest problem with this app is there’s no way to report issues. Like it is currently claiming that the wind is 37 miles per hour when there’s a dead calm

Under settings, there is the tempest map option where you can look at all the stations around the country with the toggle between weather or stations. It’s kind of annoying that you have to keep zooming in trying to find out where you’re at to look at other stations in the area. Since the homepage of my station already has the radar integrated, why don’t you integrate the tempest weather station button on that page ? because it’s already zoomed into your location?

I have 4 Tempest units deployed and find them very useful for day to day activities and fro planning. The app provides a lot of info and the notifications for lightning and rain are great. Best station and app I’ve used.

This is a good app and I especially like the Apple Watch complications. The blaring missing feature would be an Apple TV app. I would love to have this as an option for people staying at my vacation rental.

I’d contemplated buying a tempest weather station for months since last major hail storm destroyed my previous weather station. I received / deployed the tempest station 1 week ago. The station and app provide a robust data collection. I greatly appreciate the battery charge info. I cannot attest to rain accuracy as we’ve had no rain since installing. The hardware and tempest mounting provide a clean, non-invasive mounting. Very pleased in all aspects of equipment and app thus far.

For the most part, this weather station is pretty good, everything seems to work fairly well except for the anometer. This thing is so far from accurate it’s not even funny. I have it mounted 12 feet above my second story roof. The wind here is gusting easily to 40 miles an hour as I typed this and this thing hasn’t registered over 18 mph. Completely unacceptable if I could return it, I would.

I'm surprised that you haven't permanently fixed zoomed out graphs of temp etc at 3 hour hash marks to start a day at midnight after DST vs standard time chsnges. After a change the graph day starts at 11pm, then 2am, then 5am, etc

It seems that the last update has broken parts of the app. Widgets are no longer working.

App used to be great, open the station and see all the data. Now it takes for ever to refresh. Some time the data is blank

Station data takes forever to refresh. Please fix.

Today’s update broke the ability to view the data. When clicking the top, instead of seeing the data, a page explains Nearcast Technology with no way to exit.
