WeatherLink 4+

Davis makes the best instruments in its class. The software always needs work. For instance, this software doesn't do landscape mode in the iPad version. There is too much scrolling for what I consider primary information, like precipitation. Somebody suggested being able to move tiles. That is a good idea. The forecast doesn't need to be near the top, since the purpose of this software is to see current conditions. The forecast will always come from another app.

I’ve tried the most popular weather system available today and I have to say that they all have fallen short or failed except for the Davis Instruments equipment which I have had for over 10 years. The app is very useful although it’s display seems dated and not as pretty as some of the others available. The best thing about the app and the weather station is that it updates automatically every 2.5 seconds. No other station that I have tried is that fast. Makes it easier to capture wind speed data.

The latest release (2/15) is really a nice improvement. More information in the graphs, displayed in a way that is very intuitive and easy to interpret. I’d love to see them expand the AQI graph to include the hourly range band like they did for temperature. Maybe in a later update.

This works so well with WeatherLinkLive. The whole setup and user interface is well documented and easy to set up. I’ve had my Davis weather station for almost 8 years now, I’ve never been disappointed by it.
