Weather Connect Positive Reviews
Thanks KCS84If it were not for KCS84's post below, this was going in the trash. I bought this to replace an Accurite station, install is super simple. Documentation does not exist, there are no instructions for recommended mounting positions. I had the same issue with my setup (Airport Extreme) 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz both on, the station would connect to my wireless, but the app never indicated so, it would always show fail. Per the info in KCS84's post, I disabled the 5GHz on the router, and the app worked instantly. I re-enabled the 5GHz and still works just fine..Granny_37Version: 1.2
Says it won’t connect to WiFi but ignore thisThis probably took me three hours to figure out but in the end it worked. I tried everything to get the app to connect to my WiFi including turning off the 5ghz part of my router but it continued to say it failed to connect. Finally I discovered that as long as my phone and my weather station were connected on the 2.4ghz frequency of my router I could just ignore this and click the back arrow (top left) and move onto the next step. Then it worked fine..M@tt1984Version: 1.2
No ProblemsI’m puzzled by all the bad reviews. I had no problem connecting my La Cross station to WU, and it has worked flawlessly so far. I suspect some people are not waiting long enough for their stations to connect. It may look like the app is continually requesting information about your network, but just be patient, it may take a while for your station to appear on WU..4x4XtrmVersion: 1.2
Not connectingScanned unit, connected to WiFi got weather underground I’d and password and now will not connect to WiFi to share weather
I had my mifi jetpack jet up with the primary at 5 gig and the guest set at 2.4 Weather connect app couldn't find my station until I changed the primary ot 2.4 connected to primarray first try. evidently it didn't like being a guest lol.KF4ZNPVersion: 1.2
Got it working!It took a couple calls to La Crosse, WI, but we figured out that I needed to use the 2.4 Ghz radio only. We have Aruba 205's so I made a new SSID named Lacrosse and set it to only use the 2.4Ghz band. After that, I had to disable ARP broadcast blocking on this SSID to proceed to step 2 on the app..KCS84Version: 1.2

Weather Connect Negative Reviews
Successfully connected to WUI was able to successfully connect to WU. Not sure if this helps anyone else, but just wanted to share, I connected my weather station to Wi-Fi using the La Crosse View App. After my station was connected to the internet, I then used the Weather Connect App to connect my station with my WU account. Do not use the Weather Connect app to set WiFi Device. I did not enter in my WiFi password into the weather connect app, just the PWS and Key. I first made the mistake and used my PWS ID and my WU login password. This was incorrect, I needed to used my "Key" that was assigned by WU as my Password. Without that key, WU will not allow data to be uploaded. It did take about 40 minutes after using the Key instead of my password before my station status updated to online. Hope this helps..Bwilliams1824Version: 1.2
Still Doesn’t WorkDespite using the proper frequency on a mobile device, the app fails to recognize the 2.4GHz network, thus you cannot connect and move forward in link your PWS with Weather Underground. Further, the app is broken- when using other functions of the app, such as registering for a PWS ID from Weather Underground, you get the message: “An unknown error occurred, try again.” The apparent problems that plagued the app (as many have mentioned prior) have obviously continued to; the Weather Connect has not been updated in several years. Disappointing because I’d love to utilize the data and share it..OccupyYourselfVersion: 1.2
Won’t work if your network has 5GHz channelSame issue everyone else is having. Except in my case, I have a modem/router that is managed by my ISP, so I have no ability to login and control it. Therefore, I cannot disable the 5 GHz channel, which means that this app will not work at all for me. Very disappointed, as sharing my weather station on Wunderground was the main reason I spent the $80 to buy the weather station.
What’s extra disappointing is that the regular La Crosse View app works just fine, so clearly they have the ability to support the product. They just choose not to update this app or integrate its functionality in the La Crosse View app..AlaskanjackalVersion: 1.2
App needs fixingConnected to 2.4 WiFi, presses the +- buttons together on the weather station to search. Entered in the WiFi password on the App, got “success” message, but then goes right back to the start page. Wunderground suggest holding the 2 outer buttons on the station to reset the station and try it. Nothing there. Something wrong with App, I think LaCrosse has given up on fixing? Should have read this before purchase 🙁. I was able to get the LaCrosee view App to work, but it’s not that special.
Hopefully there is a fix soon?.Know reviewerVersion: 1.2
WU connect doesn’t workStation set up and devices added fine. Went to WU to register new station. Got this app to connect. After you connect to your network successfully the app loops you back to find your network again. It never advances to the next step. Have deleted reloaded and tried for two hours. Hardware is ok. Failed app defeated purpose of buying hardware. Don’t buy LaCrosse if you want to connect to Weather Underground because this app doesn’t work on my iPhone X..ScarDALVersion: 1.2
Connect Device to WifiInstructions to wifi need to be much clearer. All that needs to connect device is to hold + and - buttons together until the wifi icon blinks. Then enter password if you are password protected then hit confirm. First page on app helps you set up the device ID and key. Then wifi icon will stop blinking. You are connected.
I gave it a rating of 2 stars as LaCrosse instructions are not as detailed as they need to be to use this app..PopcorneatfokdVersion: 1.2
Unable to UseFortunately I read enough reviews to avoid wasting too much time in this. The app didn’t give me the available wifi networks to pick from so I couldn’t enter the password it kept requesting (I could but there was no way to change the network from “wifi”.
Also, it purported to provide a way to get a key, but I couldn’t get that to work either.
This is a terrible app and a waste of time..Impossible to editVersion: 1.2
Shockingly terribleI’m at a loss for words. The experience of using this app is simply awful. The apparent requirement of a 2.4 GHz network means I’ll have to do some reconfiguring of my network and even if I do it sounds like there’s a good chance this still won’t work.
This app feels like a summer project for a distracted high school student that never went through any review or QA. The developers and company should be embarrassed..Dave in BoCoVersion: 1.2
Will not connectThis app and the Lacrosse Weather Station are useless! I purchased the station because it had a wifi connection and would sync with weather underground. This app is required for the connection. It does NOT work. Judging by the other reviews it never has. What a terrible company. They have been providing a garbage app and likely garbage weather station for years. Very disappointed..Ineverreviewappsbutheregoes!Version: 1.2
Save your money, don't buy LacrosseWe have had so many issues with the weather station disconnecting from the Lacrosse app. Now I finally figure out you need this second app to connect to weather underground and it is even a bigger piece of excrement.
I will never buy another Lacrosse product..DazeeVersion: 1.2
Won't connect to WIFIAs others have reported, will not connect to internet. Tried 5 times before I saw the reviews. This is my 3rd Lacrosse weather station. First one with wifi. The wind registration has didn't work on the first two.. Just got this one. We will see on the wind. If it doesn't work it is going back..Nani TutuVersion: 1.2
The. Worst.I’ve spent hours on this, tried 2 different Kindles and 3 versions of iPhones, a 2.4 wifi extender and a 2.4 guest network. Seriously??!! Every time I either get a “Fail” or it just returns me to the “Set WiFi” screen without ever advancing. I want to throw this app across the room. All I want to do is register with WU. How can it be this hard?.DablinuzzVersion: 1.2
La Crosse Customer LoserOne of the worst apps I’ve ever encountered. No docs and doesn’t work anyway. I’m a programmer and know a lot about WiFi; this app is useless buggy junk. No more La Crosse purchases for me, and this app is why. And yes La Crosse you do need a way to connect to the pws network. Please figure it out and get it in the decent View app. Fire whoever wrote this! Then you’ll get some customers back..Eskim023Version: 1.2
UselessOk, so it doesn’t connect to my 2.4GHz-only wireless network, but at least I got to spend 30 irritating minutes coming to that conclusion! It would seem La Crosse is unconcerned about having unhappy customers...customers who return their stations to Costco and go buy a competitor’s product. Bye forever, La Crosse!.Nordicman71Version: 1.2
Password fail errorLike others, I can’t get the app to accept my wifi password. Turned off 5G radio, still fails. Guess I shouldn’t expect much from an app that hasn’t been updated in two years. Unless there’s an update, don't waste your time with this app..Texas three stepVersion: 1.2
5yrs since last update says it allHorrific app for a high quality weather station.
No update in 5 years is unthinkable.
Will not connect to WiFi. 1 star given for finally allowing my station to send data to WU..Huskerfan69Version: 1.2
Can’t disable 5G so uselessWhy won’t this let me pick my 2.4 guest network that my phone and weather station are connected to? I am not able to disable my 5G and this app just keeps defaulting to that. This is infuriating..MoleHill2Version: 1.2
Do not useThis app has not been updated in 6 years. It has essentially made my weather station useless and unusable. LaCrosse is no use if you don’t want to buy a new station from them..AlanlungsVersion: 1.2

Pretty much uselessThis app as with all the la crosse apps is poorly written and barely functional.
