I'm sorry, but I have to agree that Davis is failing its Mac customers. In fact, by all appearances, Davis Instruments is starting to look like a company in serious decline.
My first hint of this was about a year ago. I got an email from them indicating they were unable to renew my Weatherlink Network account. I knew it was because of the expiration date on my CC. No problem, I thought, I'll just go in and update that. But, as it turned out, that is not possible. Instead, I needed to call them and give my CC info to some stranger on the phone. Huge red flag! Needless to say, that ended my Weatherlink Network subscription which wasn't that useful anyway.
Now, I have been a DOS/Windows user since 1982. Also since about 2010, I have worked my way up thru iPod Touch, iPads, iPhones and most recently the Apple Watch. I love the way all this stuff works together. I have also grown weary of all the Windows and Office-365 mickymouse which I don't need to go into here. So I have been researching and making preparations to migrate totally from Windows to a MacOS environment.
I decided to begin with a base model Mac Mini to use as my VP2 station server. It would give me the opportunity to learn the OS while I wait for the new iMacs to be released and replace my main desktop. I contacted Davis about acquiring the Mac version of the Weatherlink software for the VP2 data logger. She told me I could download it. So far, so good. Then she added, "unfortunately, we do not have software compatible with Catalina." I would need to find third party software.
Is that really true? If so, I find it unbelievable. What are your experiences here? Is she just saying this because they have not tested it with Catalina?
If this is true, then yes, Davis is definitely failing Mac users. And, I'm sorry, but I find no appeal in jury-rigging Windows into a Mac computer when my goal is to free myself of Windows altogether.
