The app was useful until the update. It is absolutely terrible now. The app is now much slower. The y-axis does not scale with the data, making the graphs practically useless. The 'hour' time scale was removed, which is most useful in my situation. I don't understand how this "update" was released. It really makes me question my future with this environment.

Update erased 7 months of data. Now have to reload the 2 months stored in the thermometer, took 1.5 hours. Took away the 1 hour read out that was useful. Warning - don't update this app. I've got 8 outdoor sensors and a hub. All ruined by an update, at least the history, graph part. Wow, what a waste of money and time. Everything was fine before the update. Why do companies spent time to fix something that was not broken? Warning- don't update.
