BloomSky Weather

I have two BloomSky installations at different locations; our home and our mountain cabin. I have BloomSky and Storm at home and BloomSky alone at our cabin. They have performed remarkably well and we have depended on them for instantaneous weather info. We especially enjoyed the visible record of temperatures over the past week. Also invaluable, was the time lapse photo log for each week. I also had both stations integrated with WeatherUnderground. Alas, none of these aforementioned functions is operable now. BloomSky appears to have shut down. I would have given them 5 stars for their product and app, but now I am charitably offering 2 stars, only because they had a great product at one time. They really now only deserve a 1 or 0 star rating.

Leaving this here for existing BloomSky users. In late January 2022 BloomSky support sent an email message (check your spam!) that they are potentially needing to shut down some of the services and features, and may move to a paid model. This was the first communication from BloomSky in a very long time. And several services (time lapses and weather underground integration among them) have already been disabled. Consensus on the Facebook BloomSky user forum is that BloomSky are preparing to shutdown / may be simply selling existing inventory until it runs out with no further development. There are efforts underway in user forums to try and create an offline software that will replicate many of the BloomSky cloud features in the event BloomSky folds entirely. Suffice to say you shouldn’t buy a new BloomSky at this point……

the slider is useless. scrolling through the day makes it a random image generator, assuming it works at all. 9/8/18 Slider functions better after the latest update. However, a few caveats; once u touch the slider your finger must remain; difficult to go to a specific spot. It would be nice to have a way to go to a specific image, time stamps would suffice. However, the app is basic and I may be asking too much. Thus, i export to another program to view my images. There are other problems but “nuff said”. I hate whiners, the entire Atlanta ocean, any animal named Fluffy and cauliflower, not necessarily in that order.
