User Reviews

Users praise the hardware and basic pairing, and note useful wind/weather data when connected. However, the app suffers from unstable Bluetooth connections, crashes, and a dated UI. Post-update regressions further degrade usability. Support responsiveness is mentioned as lacking in at least one review. Overall, the hardware shows promise, but stability, background reconnection, UI polish, and reliable updates are needed for a dependable experience.
Pros
  • Strong hardware (WeatherDot) with capable wind sensing
  • Easy pairing with iPhone and straightforward Bluetooth setup
  • When connected, data capture is reliable and the app can function as a portable wind/weather station
Cons
  • Unreliable Bluetooth connectivity and frequent reconnections, leading to inconsistent data capture
  • App stability issues including crashes, bugs, and a sense of unfinished UI, with post-update regressions
  • Post-update regressions affecting connectivity and features (e.g., after updates it won't connect; compass/damping mode issues)

⭐⭐⭐ If you're considering this wind meter, here's an honest breakdown to help you decide. The hardware is excellent. No moving parts means nothing to break, seize, or wear out — a real advantage for sailors and outdoor users. It's tiny, light, accurate even at low wind speeds, and the battery life is impressive. For ballistics, dinghy sailing, or coastal cruising, the sensor itself earns five stars. The app is where it falls short. There are a few recurring issues worth knowing before you buy: The screen times out during use, which breaks the Bluetooth connection mid-session. There is no in-app option to keep the screen awake — you have to change your device's display settings manually every time. Bluetooth range can be a real problem from a tall mast. Several users (including myself) have found that connections from 12 m or higher are unreliable, which limits the sensor's usefulness for offshore or tall-rig sailing. Settings have been known to reset after firmware updates, which is frustrating to troubleshoot on the water. The app can freeze or drop data unexpectedly. My recommendation: If you're mounting this on a small boat, dinghy, or using it handheld for ballistics or weather monitoring, it's a fantastic product and well worth the price. If you're planning a permanent masthead install on a larger boat and need rock-solid data for navigation, test your Bluetooth range carefully before committing. The potential here is real — Calypso just needs to bring the app up to the standard of the hardware. When they do, this will be a five-star product without question.

This company basically killed the support for older gen devices with no backwards compatibility. Stay away.
