BloomSky Weather

Rain notification never work for me, if i connect it to ifttt i will get notification on there ?!? ,very slow data refresh on app ui

App does not provide access to historical data. App plots a temperature forecast which is not correlated to actual measurements. Irony is that Weather Underground app is more informative and makes better use of the data acquired by the Sky and Storm instrument than the BloomSky app.

Occasionally get notifications that it is raining in Phoenix but my unit always says N/A for rain even when it rained .30" after the rain event the camera has been fogged up for s couple hours after sunrise have a Sky2 had major solar heating issues before I moved it to my pole from the ground, fairly accurate now.

Honestly, as an original backer of the SKY2 and STORM, I'm a bit disappointed by the app. The app has improved over its lifetime, but still tends to be minimalistic in the information conveyed. The hardware, which has been deployed since November 2016, has shown some wear issues, mostly relating to the STORM. As I sit and type this, there's a freezing rainstorm outside and the STORM's wind gauge has frozen in place, reporting zero wind speed. (Update: after having climbed onto the roof, I found the STORM entirely encased in ice.) On three instances the bearing for the wind gauge seized up and required that I climb up and just tap the cups to get it going again; all in 15+MPH winds. The bearing might need some improvement.

Have been throught two STORMs. The SKY still shows a negative dew point.

Can't connect to wunderground. Storm doesn't work half the time. When it decides to work it doesn't give all readings.

As an early adopter, i have seen the number of stations increase quite decently. Quite please.

Easy to use, who needs a chart when you can see for your own eyes.

Bloomsky app keeps crashing on startup, I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it's still crashing. Started today, Sept 5, 2017.

App will not even open anymore. Uninstalled and reinstalled more times than I can count.

Force closes now. Can't even open the app!

I have the sky 2 and the storm unit. I have had two storm units fail completely in the last 8 or so months since they came out. Been very happy with my sky unit and they have replaced the two storm's. Customer service is great. The app does leave a lot to be desired and I have made many many suggestions to customer support for improvements but nothing has changed since the storm unit was added except a few big fixes. The dashboard is nice but why can't it be in the app instead of a separate site I have to go to in order to view more detailed info on my personal unit? I hope they start putting more time and ideas into the app and make it as great as it could very well be!

After clearing cache / uninstalling/ reinstalling / trying alternative home WiFi I can't fix my bloomsky. I constantly get the error "bloomsky cannot determine your location. Please check your WiFi and GPS setting and try again". Permissions are fine in settings and it worked previously. Other apps that require GPS or WiFi location are still working.

Get the hardware and help crowd source the weather!

It's great but it would be nice to see live stats without having to refresh. I want to see the wind speeds live and fluctuating and perhaps a graph showing previous and current wind speeds high to low.

I thought I would get more control and acces to the units. I am concerned that the sky's battery will not do cold weather. They said about 20 days life. I've gotten 6. I have done the reset a few times now, weeks apart. This hasn't fixed the battery as it has lost 75% of its charge in 2 days.

And Storm only sends out hourly data??? That is just STUPID! Weird, app said view all day in one shot, but it doesn't! Why explore map always opens in tiny island South of Africa?! You need to zoom in to see local stations, just because zoomed out map doesn't show, doesn't mean there are any there...sadly, people are placing skycam in bad locations, why oh why would you place it underneath roofline???? Treating it as a security cams?! And only shows one picture for today's sky...

Having a little problem I am unable to get into the app to the main screen I have to go into the Play Store to get into the app don't know what happened please fix thank you

This has an amazing potential and hpfulle we will be getting there !!! Keep up the good work and it will be perfect at some point in the future :) My money is on you

Great app.. great hardware and super great Customer Service!

Worked great up until all the " upgrades starting in 11/16 . Now it's just a POS waste of $200. Dashboard is constantly down or missing 1/2 the data. New camera is junk, wind speed is a joke , registers 6mph top speed when my other gauge reads 40mph. Rain gauge is just as bad 4 inches of rain & it reads 0.17 in past 24 hours.

Worked great and was great after all the parts finally arrived. Occasionally off line and problems. Has not worked since last week, have called and emailed and had no response. $300 piece of junk and the worse thing is I recommended it in several public forums...looks like I need to make a retraction.

OK, After long time, now able to complete setup with my phone. Expecting to add more customization in app . Thank You for the updates.

This app and the hardware work excellent for me have never lost connectivity been able to successfully connect to my weather station from my phone at any given time

New version messed up pressure readings. My station reads 10mb below true reading (old version on my phone still correct). Several stations report pressures in the 800's which is nonsense

This has been a brick. I've gotten two replacement units, none have been able to connect to the 2.4Ghz wifi. I wish I had saved my money. Good idea, poor execution.

I love having a weather station at home. Being able to see your history would be a great addition.

Love my bloomsky. Whenever I had issues I called and customer service was always willing and able to help especially cause I am not the best with technology they were very patient. I also love the video it shows at the end of the day. And it's also fun to search all the different places that have the devices! Fun app! I recommend it

I like the idea but. I would like to step through the pictures, not have the whole day displayed as a video. Yes you can pause but the two buttons either side of pause start the video again from the beginning. I want to see if a bird or cat was seen in my pictures, it's imposible to view that one picture. Picture playback needs Hugh improvements

Great device. Enjoy periodically checking what's going on around the globe and also at home. I needed some help setting it up, real minor. But customer service was on it! Would recommend the app even if you don't have a device.

Nice idea but the video fails periodically for no apparent reason and the user support is poor

Innovative product and good crowdsourced app but not very good support team.

Great idea, terrible product. Works inconsistently, poor customer support, poor battery life and falls offline frequently. Unreliable at best. I have a Davis Instruments VantagrPro 2 that needs some parts replaced after 12 years of reliable service. I will gladly invest the $$ to keep it going.

Considering this platform is app-centric, the quantity of issues I experience with the app (freezing and sluggishness being most common) aren't inspiring. Across 4 devices now, can it still be something I am missing? I'd like to see where this might go. But the devs have had a lengthy period of time to work on this... this "weather station"... without anything substantiative communicated in terms of what it might grow up to be. It's approaching a place on the shelf with the other, tired toys.

Very reliable, easy to use. Info4magion provided is very useful.

Nice piece of equipment. 24hr clock would be nice

Once you get connected, seems pretty rock solid. You have to have patience when syncing it up to Weather Underground and some of the IFTTTs are wonky. It's a great starter station and with the right IT experience, integrates nicely. Any ideas why IFTTTs are going haywire with hundreds of triggers happening for 1 timelapse?

No response for customer issues. App not able to complete setup. Green WiFi LED flashing issue. Referred to help in internet and submitted form for the device but, not yet added my device. It is soo painful to just see the device siting on my desk without being able to setup. Guys please help. Please.

I thought I would get more control and acces to the units. I am concerned that the sky's battery will not do cold weather. They said about 20 days life. I've gotten 6.

I charged the STORM up via the USB. Within 30 minutes the battery is down to 75%. The solar panel seams undersized. Thinking of selling both units at a local swap meet next weekend.
