User Reviews

Across many reviews, users view AcuRite NOW as a clear downgrade from the old My AcuRite app. They report far less information and data visibility, harder navigation, and frequent stability issues. A dominant concern is the loss of sensor labeling, with multiple sensors appearing under generic names, making it difficult to identify readings. Users also dislike the move to paid subscriptions for Weather Underground data and the inability to export data. Critical data and features that existed before—sunrise/sunset, highs/lows, lightning data, wind details—are missing, along with limited cross-device management. Overall, frustration and plans to switch brands are common.

Pros

Cons

Downgrade from the old My AcuRite app: NOW provides less information and data visibility, and has harder navigation with stability issues.
Inability to name/edit sensors: multiple sensors appear with generic names, making it hard to identify readings.
Subscription/paywall for Weather Underground and data access: free data sharing removed and exporting data is not possible; some data requires paid subscription.
Poor usability and stability: app freezes, requires many taps to reach basic data, and charts are hard to interpret or misbehave.
Missing key data/features: sunrise/sunset, highs/lows, lightning data, wind details, elevation, and other previously available data/features are absent.

Recent reviews

We have been using the previous app for over 13 years. The old app had some downfalls but this one is basically useless . If you want to see your main outdoor temp I would give it three stars as it is okay for that, but I don’t want to switch views for every setting. And the historical information is so small it is basically useless. If this were a living room, it would be decorated with a lawn chair and a box for its only furniture (so much wasted space). You can’t rename any of the additional sensors so it is a guessing game to figure out which is which. You took an app that provided helpful, easy to view (for the most part) info that allowed minor customizations, and farmed it out to developers that obviously spent no time using the previous or talking to the customers about their usage. If you want more than your weather station screen at home then you should shop around for another system. Unless this is fixed, we will be shopping around for a different brand.
