Need App user manual
I love the weather station. The iOS apps are good, but I need some assistance and can’t find help for the apps. For example, when I choose Standard full screen mode in settings on my iPad, the display always reverts to Basic full screen mode. Also, when I select Always on in settings the display still times out. There are probably settings that I am overlooking, but I can’t find and app user instructions.
Alexa Skill
I 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.
App not working on ultra2 watch
The iPhone app is good and provides all the data from the weather sensor. The watch app was partially working with lagging updates to the watch face complications. However, now the complication works but the watch app crashes on startup. Ios 17.4.1, watchos 10.4
Nice but no map/radar
Improvement is noticeable but a map with live radar and incorporation of official weather alerts is sorely lacking. I understand it might be coming; very much looking forward to it. I look forward to the day when this will be my only needed weather reference.
Easy setup!
Setup was fast and easy. It looks like the data coming from weather station is accurate too. The app could use some refinement, such as a more color options. The purple background in the app and widget is ugly. Please change or offer choices. I will review the app and weather station again in a few weeks after I have some time to explore a bit.

Also, what’s the deal with the widget app not showing the location of the weather reporting station? I just get three dots…
Wonderful app and device
Love them both!! I knocked one star off because it doesn’t have a radar map. Would be the perfect addition so I can ditch my other weather app completely!! Tempest - Please seriously consider adding the radar map and air quality reading to this app.
