### 2/5 — Cannot connect to server errors.

*2021-11-11, version 2.0*

A great weather app. One I readily use in the suite of weather apps I use. One annoying issue is that I get a cannot connect to server error message quite a lot.

Now changing my review as this is too unreliable. Most of the time you can’t even get the information. Video won’t load. Server errors. When you need up to date information to make decisions it’s just our there.

### 1/5 — Anyone else having trouble logging in?

*2021-04-28, version 2.0*

The login button seems to be broken?

### 1/5 — Client only?

*2019-03-11, version 1.2.30*

You have to be a client to use the my farm weather app! So you have to sign to do anything. East of time

### 5/5 — Finally! An accurate weather app!

*2018-06-11, version 1.0*

Ballance and Niwa have done a great job putting together this free app, great to see accuracy down to 1.5km!
