Poor Quality

Crashes on every open. Might want to actually test the app before you release it.

Needs Work

Okay, so Ive found that the initial setup is much easier to do from a Mac Book using safari... And then install the iPhone app. Seems to be working for me now. Not too many bugs with the iPhone app. However, the iPhone app GRAPHS for each of the sensors do not work at all for the three sensor temperatures. And for the humidity, they seem to be mis-labeled in reverse chronological order... Eg: 1 hour ago is labeled as -12hrs, 2 hours ago is labeled as -9hrs, 3 hours ago is labeled as -6hrs, etc. (Btw: The sensors seem to have a decent range within my home that is quite oversized at 6k square feet, as well as outdoors.)

CHEAP FIX

Update: like others said, use Safari web page to delete "Friends bridge," in this case the default Acurite headquarters. Then iOS app works to see your bridge. Original review: Like most other reviews, app wont connect. Using Safari web page for now until they fix.

Follow the fix instructions!!

This app worked the first couple of times I used it then quit. I came here to write a review to rip this app a new one and read the fix review. I deleted the acurite hq bridge from the follow my friends bridge page on the website. I then signed back into the app and it immediately began working as advertised. This is what I was wanting out of this app. Satisfied....

Acu-link

This is an update. Theyve fixed a bunch and Im loving it! Is great when it can connect but more often than not it doesnt connect. Fix your stuff Acu-Link!!!

Need to get it right.

When I got the equipment and the app it worked great, but after a few months it just quit one day, I tried everything I could do to get it working, NO joy the problem is not on my end. Thats to bad I liked this app, I started to depend on it, And I was going to add to the system, but thats out window with the app.

Works perfect after updating setting

Ive had this app for a few months and have nothing but problems with it recognizing my weather station. After following the advise here on these reviews, I went into the settings on the My Back Yard Weather web site and deleted the default weather station of the manufacturer and ever since everything works great. At this point Im 100% satisfied with it.
