Very cool but could be even better

I was very fortunate to be selected for the BloomSky network expansion promotion so I got my unit for the cost of shipping, but I would have paid full price in any case. The unit itself is beautifully designed, solid construction, and works flawlessly. Setup was quick and simple. Took less than 5 minutes to get connected to my home network and immediately started recording weather data and photos.

The app itself is clean and simple. Being able to quickly view the current weather stats and sky view from my iPhone is very cool, and the end-of-day timeless of the sky from my home is now something I look forward to every evening. Id give it five stars except for an obvious omission which Im hoping they add in a future version - it doesnt display any graphs of the weather data its collecting, making it far less useful than it otherwise could be. That was something so obvious I just assumed they would be there, so their absence was a real disappointment. I can view the last recorded sample of temp, pressure, etc. but unless I remember what they were the last time I checked I dont know which way theyre changing and by how much. BloomSky is obviously collecting all this data so it would be a simple matter of adding a few graphs the the app to display it to the user.

Still, its a great start of what I hope will be a continuing evolution in personal weather data collection and dissemination. Kudos to the BloomSky team for creating such a cool product and service!
