This software has always been horrendous. It doesn't come anywhere close to having feature parity with the Windows version. Do yourself a favor and try WeatherTracker: even in its beta form, it's far and away a better package.
There has to be better software than this - Version: 5.0.3, 11/7/2005 02:55PM PST

I have used the terrible version 5.0.2 for around a year. When I upgraded from OS 10.4.2 to 10.4.3 it finally became totally "disfunctional" I could download data from my Vantage Pro wireless station but virtually nothing else. Even the red "close" boxes stopped working.
I am now testing 5.0.3 and its basic features seem to work. However, I have to agree with all the other people here who criticize this software. It is terrible and non-Mac intuitive.
I would be prepared to pay good money for a true Mac application that could download the station data in a spreadsheet format, make decent quality graphs and upload selected current and historical data items to my website. If there is anyone out there that is in the same situation, can you post here and let's see if someone will take up the challenge. There have been around 260 downloads of this version in a month and, I would suspect, 260 dissatisfied users.

I've used Davis WeatherLink for several years, and I have found it barely functional. But at least it has worked, in a basic sort of way.
However, I have at last upgraded an Intel iMac, and have been trying to transfer my data. The problem is that the version supplied on the CD is WL 5.03, but this version crashes horribly. When I install the bug fix to 5.04 and run it I get the message "This is an upgrade version. You will need to purchase the full version."
This can't be right, surely, but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. The Davis Support people don't reply to questions. So basic software when it works, hopeless installation, and appalling support.
