AcuRite admits new app falls short, delays old app’s May shutdown to fix problems
Summary
Ars Technica reports that AcuRite is delaying the forced migration from My AcuRite to AcuRite NOW due to shortfalls in the new app. The company aims to retire the old app but has not set a new shutdown date, while focusing on improvements to onboarding, connectivity, data visibility, and reliability. AcuRite NOW introduces a data-sharing subscription with Weather Underground and broader device support, but initial release issues and feature gaps remain a concern for long-time users.
