Teapot for Tempest

Since downloading the app I have tried to contact the developer to tech help and it comes back as undeliverable. 😡

I love it except for a glitch I had. It kept telling me the wrong station is but it wasn’t. Did it again same result. However it does connect to my station and looks great. Was able to swap the dewpoint and humidity as that more important to me than the humidity reading, which still shows just smaller. It does not give the forecast, maybe because it thinks the wrong station id? It would be nice to be able to offset the temperature and humidity as the Tempest does not. My temperature is accurate but humidity runs high as seems the Tempest typically does from looking at others. Since this is just my display should be able to show it correctly by an offset when needed. However overall very happy with it!

This app compared to the Tempest app is like stepping out from the grayscale of Kansas to the Technicolor of Oz. Incredibly impressive use of screen space to display almost all of Tempest’s data in one place, and well differentiated. You will continue to want both apps, as Teapot does not yet display historical data in the form of graphs. Setup was relatively easy, but make it easier on yourself by keeping the instructions for retrieving your sensor’s information handy. Well done!

I love how simply and efficiently this app displays information. It works equally well as an always-on console on a dedicated device or an on-demand app on your main squeeze.

Easy to install and configure, no issues whatsoever and love the look and performance! Paid subscriber within 1 hour of installation and happy! This product and program will be replacing a 20 + year old Davis setup that offers less information than Tempest and Teapot! WELL DONE!

Can’t even tell if it works without paying for the subscription. Nothing in the app tells you this; it’s buried in the website under the setup instructions. Tempest sends UDP announcements that this app could be using as well but there’s no indication that it’ll do that and no way to tell without paying. Nope.

I just downloaded this app and it’s beautiful. The bright colors and layout appeal to me. I love the data on the Home Screen and the additional radar feature that is not part of the tempest app. I’m not in the habit of paying for apps but the cost is reasonable so I did. My only complaint so far is that there isn’t a widget for my Home Screen. I will update if anything changes.

Just installed a Tempest and this app crashes within a fraction of a second of clicking on anything within the app. Deleted and reinstalled and it’s still doing the same thing. It simply doesn’t work (iPad Pro on iOS 17.2). If it’s fixed and I am able to use the app, I will revise my rating and review. UPDATE: The latest version has resolved my issue of immediate crashes, and it has a very nice display of graphics. However, clicking the Forecast button yields a blank page. I’ve tried to switch the settings for the number of days forecast and that doesn’t fix it. The app is definitely moving in the right direction.

I liked the layout so I unfortunately payed for a year. The tempest app has better history so I went back to it and my weather station is no longer there and I would have to reset it up again. The rain adjustment feature isn’t very good either. It is just a percentage offset. It really needs to have the ability to input multiple data points and let the program run a cure fitting program. I have been comparing my Tempest to a CoCoRHAS tube rain gauge and is definitely a non linear offset.
