|AcuRite, which sells devices such as weather stations, indoor thermometers, and rain gauges, began emailing customers last month that they’d soon have to control their devices with the AcuRite Now iOS and Android app. AcuRite first launched the app in June 2025 to control a new weather station, the AcuRite Optimus. However, owners of AcuRite devices had still been able to use the My AcuRite app, which launched in 2016.
|AcuRite began emailing customers last month that they’d soon have to control their devices with the "AcuRite Now" iOS and Android app, eliminating the free "My AcuRite" app, the replacement of which, "AcuRite Now" requires a subscription for features previously active in the free app.
 
Soon, however, My AcuRite will no longer be available, making AcuRite Now the only official app for controlling AcuRite devices.  The AcuRite Now app lacks some features but has a subscription option.
