## Review summary

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.

### 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.
