AcuRite to Discontinue My AcuRite App After May 30, Moves Users to Subscription-Based AcuRite NOW

AcuRite, known for its personal weather stations, launched My AcuRite in 2016 as a companion app for iOS and Android devices. Over the years the app provided real‑time readings, alerts, and the ability to send data to Weather Underground at no cost.

As the hardware lineup expanded, the app’s architecture struggled to keep pace with newer devices and cloud services. Long‑time users have expressed frustration because the replacement lacks some conveniences they relied on, such as renaming multiple temperature sensors or organizing sensors on screen.

The company announced that My AcuRite will no longer be available after May 30, citing limitations in long‑term app development, modern cloud services, smart‑home integration, and support for newer connected devices.

AcuRite NOW, released in June 2025, replaces it as the primary control interface. Unlike the free My AcuRite, AcuRite NOW requires a subscription to share data with Weather Underground, a feature that was previously offered without charge.

The new app also works with Tuya’s SmartLife IoT ecosystem, allowing third‑party smart gadgets to be managed alongside AcuRite stations.

For existing AcuRite station owners, the transition means learning a new interface and potentially paying a recurring fee to maintain Weather Underground sharing.

The subscription model may generate steady revenue for AcuRite while funding further platform improvements.

Users who relied on free data sharing may explore alternative services or third‑party integrations to avoid the cost.

Additionally, the current inability to report fractional temperatures or to batch‑rename sensors could affect hobbyists who need precise logging for gardening or home‑automation projects.

How quickly AcuRite adds requested features such as sensor renaming, multi‑sensor organization, and decimal temperature reporting will be a key indicator of user satisfaction.

Monitoring user feedback, subscription uptake, and any adjustments to pricing will indicate if the shift achieves its goal of a more modern, scalable platform without alienating its core audience.
