Description

The app for PWS owners and 'Weather Underground' contributors, exclusively for iOS and WatchOS! You own a weather station that submits measurement data to Wunderground.com (WeatherUnderground)? You want to get a quick overview, as well as detailed diagrams with the readings of your weather station and those of more than 250,000 other weather stations of the Wunderground network? Then myPWS is exactly the right app for you! All you need is: your personal API key, which will be created in your personal account on Wunderground.com for you to retrieve. Once you've configured access to Wunderground.com for myPWS by entering your API key, myPWS will let you view the latest readings from your weather station, as well as any other weather station registered on Wunderground.com. You can use an area map to search for near or far weather stations all over the world and have them displayed for detailed diagrams and current readings. myPWS offers you extensive diagrams with the • measured values ​​of the current and the previous day • the last 7 days (per hour / per day) • any day in the past* • monthly data* • yearly data* • data of two PWS in one single comparison chart* • combined data of one PWS in a single chart* • wind direction chart* Up to two different types of data can be displayed together in a diagram, e.g. to look at temperature and air pressure together in one graph. Furthermore you can • cache and export data via iCloud our email to your other devices on which you also use myPWS*. This saves data API calls which are limited to 1,500 per day through Wunderground.com via your API key • add more than two stations to your station list* • export diagram data via CSV, PDF or as graphics* • email - export raw measurement data as provided by Underground Please note: myPWS requires a Wunderground.com account and a PWS (Personal Weather Station) registered in your account. By registering a PWS you will receive an API key which is needed for the retrieval of data from the Wunderground network by myPWS. The access to PWS measurement data via the Wunderground data server depends on the availability of the WU infrastructure and the WU API services, which are not under the control of the manufacturers of the myPWS app. * Available as a one-time In App purchase

  • AVOID !!!

    Paid full price for all features, but the app continually asked for payment if the app is closed and reopened . Contacted app owner for support providing a screenshot; app owner just arrogantly replies with a link to a non applicable FAQ, couldn’t take the time to talk to a paid customer I guess. I complained to the app owner about the lack of paid support to fix a technical problem with their app, requested a refund, and then received a snarky and unprofessional response in return. Good riddance, the cost of the premium features are overpriced for the value provided, and all they do is charge you for formatting your OWN data that they siphon from the WU. If you do purchase don’t expect any support in return.
  • Awesome data visualization capabilities

    I have literally dozens of weather apps - very few warrant purchase of features, and fewer still also find a place on my hope screen, but myPWS does. It transforms WU data from my Tempest weather station from functional to fantastic. Highly recommended for any PWS owner who has their station linked to Weather Underground!
  • Great app

    This app is great at retrieving and displaying the data from your weather station. It is well organized, easy to read, and looks great. For some reason, WeatherUnderground does not show my station in their search results (even though it is connected and sending data). Thankfully this app never fails to quickly retrieve and display my data. After using it for just 10 minutes, I moved it right on my first screen of apps. Thanks for a great app.
  • Data loss

    What happened to all the data for the last 7 years that I already had downloaded? It’s all seems to have vanished. I already had the months downloaded what happened? Who would want to download 84 months worth of information again?
  • Fantastic app. Make my weather station useful again

    This is fantastic and is everything a weather station app needs. I love the charts and graphs and the great way data is displayed. Watch complications are wonderful. This app really needs widgets for the iPhone Home Screen. Showing true weather data in a widget would be perfect, so please add it
  • Best PWS App… However…

    This is the best PWS app currently on the App Store (as of 7/7/2023). It doesn’t seem like there’s much interest out there for making one with a more visually pleasing or customizable UI. MyPWS does give me all the information I need and so far there’s been no bugs or issues. It’s definitely far, far better than the Weather Underground PWS app. It also warns you when you might send too many API requests (WU has a 1500 limit per day). However… Wow. I just got nickeled and dimed like crazy with these in-app purchases. I do NOT understand why the dev chose not to incorporate an “All Add-ons” option… but that’s what I thought the “Feature Pack” was. Oh boy, I was horribly mistaken there because not only are the unlocks not explained very well at all, but it didn’t unlock any of the other items I had expected it would. Why not at the very LEAST include the “Special Charts” add-on in the “Feature Pack”?!?!? Outside of buying the Watch app (which I would have purchased had I not been so completely mislead), I just spent a total of $16.96 unlocking all the features I needed to use this app’s daily, monthly and yearly charts. It’s been 20 minutes now and I’m still sitting here shocked. It doesn’t even seem like the dev is around much anymore as they haven’t replied to a review in over 2 years, but luckily there’s still periodic app bug fixes and optimizations? My take? Buy a domain and hosting. Install WordPress and learn WU’s API so that you can build your own customized PWS site. You can even install a plugin for viewing with on mobile/tablet. Then share your build with me. Lol
  • Seems nice, but you had better want to pay for it…

    Penalizes free users with timed pop-ups. Couldn’t really tour the app and make an informed decision without being begged for cash at every turn. Immediate uninstall.
  • Apple Watch

    I actually asked for a refund because the Apple Watch integration does not work properly unfortunately. It does NOT update the watch unless you actually tap the widget. Which is kinda pointless of having a widget. I hope they fix it soon because I have found no other that offers this feature
  • iOS App?

    I don’t care about the Apple Watch, but I am looking for an iPad/iPhone widget.
