Has anybody had extensive experience with an alternative to Crewchief Pro? I understand there are several options out there from Computech, Family Software,etc....but I would like to know what products are out there that are fully functional, bug free, compatible with various weather stations, and a reasonable level of customer support.

Any constructive comments?

We've been using https://www.ifamilysoftware.com/ together with a weather station from https://altalabinstrument.com/ since 2018 and won many wallys, championships, finished #4 in the world and over $150k in cash.

That's a pretty good resume fo sho!

But what I was looking for was features that you liked(or didn't like) about the software or a comparison to other programs.

Reliability, accuracy, ease of use/installation, price, compatibility with windows, adaptability to weather station, etc.

What don't you like or why are you looking for an alternative to crew chief Pro? I made the plunge with a trailer based weather station and Crew chief pro and am very happy. Other than the learning curve, it is a easy to use program with plenty of options. Don will answer the phone at almost any time to help, and I received contigency last year from him.
All good things

You're absolutely right....he does answer the phone. But the call usually goes downhill shortly after that. I know that he has many very happy customers.....I am just not one of them. In ten years of paying for and using Crewchief I have yet to call for help without being told the problem was either my tune or my computer....if I could even get a word in edge wise. It has never been an error or glitch in the software. I know lots of folks are very happy with this company but I haven't had the same experience.

I refuse to spend my money with a company from whom I cannot expect a reasonable level of respect.

There are many that don’t like him, his customer service after the sale and his business practices.

Dwight,
Thank you very much, but I don't believe my software is what GrapeApe is looking for. He wants software that will seamlessly interface with a weather station, which I am sure is just one of a number of things that he looking for that my software doesn't do.

If anyone is interested in what my software will do, send me an email srweiss1@comcast.net and I will send you a link to download a free 14 day trial version.

Stan, can't seem to get much information on your website link other than a link to an order form that doesn't work.

ifamily provides all of the above without attitude, lousy after the sale customer service, shady business practices, suing racers, etc.
