AcuRite will end support for its long-running My AcuRite app after May 30. Users must switch to the newer AcuRite NOW app released in June 2025 to continue managing their weather devices.
AcuRite vice president of product development Jeff Bovee said the decision stems from outdated technology that can no longer be maintained. The original app, launched in 2016, served mainly as a weather-station dashboard with limited options for long-term development and smart-home integration.
Initial reactions on X include user complaints about the AcuRite NOW app being a visual and functional downgrade from My AcuRite, with previously free features now behind a paywall and issues integrating legacy devices. Official AcuRite support accounts clarified that core features remain free while addressing troubleshooting and confirming the end of the web portal. Discussions highlight frustration over the forced migration ahead of the May 30 deadline.
@AcuRite_Answers Hey, when the old app is cut off and you go to just the new one, will the web based portal continue? This: https://t.co/XVMfGaJH5B ?

Also, with the new app, I removed a temp sensor from the old one, but the new one doesn't recognize that I removed it.
This new…
I agree. The new app is horrible from a visual design standpoint.

Also, it also makes us pay for things we got for free for years for free.
I've been an Acurite user for a decade now, and this is major top level "might make me pick another product" type of mistake.
The core features of the app are free including viewing the data, charts and detailed historical data for the past 30 days, much like MyAcuRite was. The optional AcuRite NOW+ feature would include steaming data to Weather Underground and detailed historical data for 365 days.

The https://t.co/rR8x3tS6Fd web based portal will no longer be available once the MyAcuRite app is no longer available. Our team is looking into implementing a web based portal for AcuRite NOW in a future update, however we do not have a timeline for this feature at this time.
