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.

This is the worst update ever. Do better Acurite. Old app was so easy and better.

by PG*****, 2026-05-15

I’ve been a loyal accurate customer for over 10 years and I’ve always enjoyed the plug-in play systems and easy to read app. I have also been submitting data to the weather underground for over 20 years. I’m actually a degreed meteorologist and I’ve always enjoyed using the Acurite weather stations for my home weather needs. That is until this new app came out. Finding data, highs and lows for the day, dewpoint, viewing charts… Nearly impossible. They are now paid features included if you want to upload your data to the weather underground! They would think that access to data from thousands of PWS’s would be a potential gold mine for them. Instead they’re trying to milk a few bucks out of everybody and add another subscription service. I am also visually impaired and the new app is very difficult to see (not 508 compliant). It was obviously written by some young programmer with eagle eyes that had no clue what any of the data represented. if they continue to move forward and shut down the current app I have no other recourse other than to leave the Acurite family and purchase another PWS.
