Does not work properly
I’ve used accurate for a long time over 20 years. This app does not appear to work correctly. The temperature always seems to be indicating it’s going up when in actuality it’s going from 50 to 44. To me that’s going down. You look at the graphs and temperature goes from 44 to 0 if you go to the 48 hour display, it shows nothing.

What is it supposedly showing me?
Not impressed. Wind stays at 8.1 north even though the station is saying 11 from the west. Doesn’t seem to update much if ever. Needs more help to match the station. Not worth the setup time. No realtime data

Disappointed, just disappointed.

Going the wrong way
The older Acurite app is leap years ahead of Now. App doesn’t support connecting to weather underground. Everytime you open the app you then have to click on your weather station to see the weather. The weather station graphics maybe take up 20% of the screen with the rest wasted space. Want to the high or low of the day? Good luck. You will have to click on a graph and find what looks like the high or low and then click on that. I have no idea why you would pay a premium for the Optimus to take 10 steps back over what the Atlas had to offer.

Great product, great idea, but needs some work.
The AcuRite Optimus is an amazing weather station. It works exactly as it’s supposed to, gives great data, updates fairly frequently, and is pretty accurate! However, the AcuRite NOW app is not as perfect as the station. One bonus is that the setup was very easy, but there are quite a few bugs. When trying to see rainfall totals, I saw that it doubled what I saw on the display for a year, and seemed to have just randomly added 0.10 inches for the 48-hours counter. (It said 0.78 when it was actually 0.68) I agree with another review which said that this app seems to not be meant for the weather enthusiast, and maybe more meant for a smart home user or someone who likes a simple app. I think people would really enjoy the Optimus finally supporting Weather Underground, so I’m hoping that when that comes, most of these problems will be solved! But overall, great product.
