User Reviews

The AWNET iOS app shows a clear pattern of frustration: many users experience a finicky setup process, frequent crashes, and inconsistent connections. A few succeed, especially when following specific steps or in non‑iOS contexts, and the weather station can be added and monitored if the setup completes. However, repeated reports of 2.4 GHz requirements, cellular data tweaks, device disappearance from lists, and limited or slow support dominate the reviews. Overall, reliability on iOS is broadly poor with sporadic successful use.

Pros

When setup succeeds, the AWNET app lets you add and monitor the Ambient Weather station in the app.
Some users report easy Wi‑Fi setup and a successful connection on iOS.
In working cases, the weather station shows up in the device list and can be controlled via the app.
A minority of reviews report no problems and smooth operation when it works.
The app does provide device management and visibility for connected weather stations when the setup completes successfully.

Cons

Extremely unreliable setup on iOS, with hours of attempts and inconsistent results across users.
Frequent crashes during setup or while using the app, sometimes breaking connectivity entirely.
Requires convoluted, non‑intuitive Wi‑Fi workarounds (must use 2.4 GHz, disable 5 GHz, disable private Wi‑Fi address, disable auto‑join, and even turn off cellular data) to get things to connect.
Devices often fail to appear in the device list or lose connection after initially connecting, making long repairs necessary.
Poor or unhelpful customer support, plus a sense that Ambient Weather does not have full control over the app; reports of outdated guidance, lack of versioning, and compatibility issues after updates.

If you have a brain u will know how to use the app

To be fair, this review is being written by someone who uses Mac computers. Maybe the software is better on the PC side, but I’m having a devil of a time getting the software to work properly between the AMBIENTCAM2 solar camera, my base station, my laptop and my smart devices. For starters you have to know which software to use (NOT the Ambient VMS, but the AWN VMS), only it’s not included on the downloads page for the product on the Ambient website. Once you do find the software, and if you get it to recognize your device, then the fun starts with trying to configure the device and/or to remove/change parameters as you work thru problems on connectivity. I am a seasoned tech person, and if I’m having trouble with this setup I’m guessing others will, too. You have a good base to start from, Ambient … please do something about this awful software. It will be your undoing if you can’t make this more user friendly. For starters, hire someone who knows about UI consistency across platforms and devices, model out some use cases, and prove to yourself that your product is friendly to the common user. Today it is not.
