Davis makes the best instruments in its class. The software always needs work. For instance, this software doesn't do landscape mode in the iPad version. There is too much scrolling for what I consider primary information, like precipitation. Somebody suggested being able to move tiles. That is a good idea. The forecast doesn't need to be near the top, since the purpose of this software is to see current conditions. The forecast will always come from another app.

I’ve tried the most popular weather system available today and I have to say that they all have fallen short or failed except for the Davis Instruments equipment which I have had for over 10 years. The app is very useful although it’s display seems dated and not as pretty as some of the others available. The best thing about the app and the weather station is that it updates automatically every 2.5 seconds. No other station that I have tried is that fast. Makes it easier to capture wind speed data.

The critical feature of live data on iOS platform version of app was broken either with iOS 17 update or client app update that occurred last fall. Was very disappointed to see it’s still not fixed in this week’s latest WeatherLink iOS app update. Please tell us how to downgrade to an earlier version to restore Live data. 90 days is too long for this critical feature to be broken. Would have rated the app a 4 or 5 if the live feature still worked (there is the iPad issue of no landscape mode. You’d think with the popularity of tablets that deficiency would have been solves by now.)
