myatmo

I got this app mostly for the Apple Watch complication. I found it so obtuse that there was no information about what features were available in the free version and which are premium, nor was there anything about how much it costs for premium. Finally I just downloaded it t. It was difficult to install on both iPhone and iPad; had to force-close and restart a couple of times just to get through the install and verification process. I forgot to switch from centigrade to Fahrenheit on my phone before I added the app to my watch. After switching on the phone I couldn’t get the switch to show on my watch until I removed it and added it again. A lot of frustration and I wasn’t even using it yet. But that was nothing compared to the annoying messages for upgrading. It was really unusable. I deleted it. I would have been willing to upgrade if the free version was at all usable but limited. This approach feels deceptive. There really isn’t a free version that’s tolerable so why give the impression there is?

For starters, I have been a Netatmo user for years. Even before HomeKit, I used netatmo for my temperature tracking. This is helpful in unpredictable climates as well as when it comes to how much time my dogs or kids spend outside. I love netatmo’s products but their app leaves something to be desired. It is great if you just want current temp, but if you’re a stats geek like me, you like to know how things like temp and rainfall, and humidity compare to previous months and years. Myatmo does exactly that and is a fantastic app, I would go so far as saying delete your netatmo app and commit to myatmo.

I’ve been using Netatmo products for about 5 years now and love them very much. I’ve two indoor temp/humidity sensors, one outside, and both a wind and rain sensors. The amount of data the gather is great and fun to watch. But, in all of Netatmo’s wisdom they forgot to write equally useful App for iPads and iPhones. Their App is clunky to get around in and impossible to view all of their products sensor information at once. This is where Myatmo comes into play. I his is the App Netatmo should have built. As soon as you open up the App and login to your Netatmo account you’re shown all of your sensor data on one very thought out screen. The screen is very colorful and easy to look at with current sensor data n the left and graphs on the right. You can simply scroll down the list of your devices to view their data, not pull each own down from a pop up menu like Netatmo makes you do. The weather forecast for your area is always displayed at the bottom of the screen making it easy to view at a glance. Very nice App indeed and a big thank you to the makers of!
