So frustrating! ### 3/5 — 5 days forecast available now - hooray *2023-07-20, version 1.2.0* Great to see that 5 day forecasts are available now ! Having the advert screen load first is a real pain, often in poor coverage areas (like at sea !) it takes too long and the forecast can fail to load. Having a single “warning” banner is pretty misleading as it may only apply for a particular area and for a short time. Otherwise works well. ### 5/5 — Awesome weather app *2023-05-23, version 1.2.0* This has to be the best weather app, hands down!! ### 4/5 — Recreational marine forecast for Wellington *2023-05-18, version 1.2.0* Could do a little better. Fisher as ### 5/5 — Commercial Mariners *2023-05-18, version 1.2.0* Losing constantly updated Teletext Marine Coastal forecasts a few years back, this is the next best thing for us. Please maintain the site so it updates every time one checks in. Andy Mack ### 5/5 — Review *2023-05-14, version 1.2.0* Isobar charts- Make map able to be enlarged ### 5/5 — Forecasts *2023-05-05, version 1.2.0* Seems fairly accurate over the years ### 5/5 — Sea area Cook *2023-03-17, version 1.2.0* Fairly accurate. I have used this for years ### 5/5 — Not too shabby *2022-11-30, version 1.1.4* I do enjoy it for quick up to date rain info but if I need a better long range forecast you can’t beat the Windy app. ### 4/5 — Three Kings Islands *2022-11-24, version 1.1.4* Use the app lots and like that all the information is easy to find. It would also be handy if the tide times for the Three Kings Islands were included. ### 5/5 — A very important service *2022-04-25, version 1.1.4* We always check the weather forecast before going out on the harbour…. The information provided is very informative and allows us to plan our days and stay safe ### 4/5 — Good for general overview *2022-01-23, version 1.1.4* Use this website every time I want to check the forecast - more useful than “land based” sites. But needs to cover the far north - sea based activity doesn’t stop at the Bay of Islands! ### 2/5 — Lightweight *2022-01-07, version 1.1.4* Content is written to tick boxes and avoid forecaster liability. Too vague and generic, or maybe written by an algorithm no a human. Ad priority is a threat to safety. ### 5/5 — Good but more content needed *2021-12-07, version 1.1.4* A good product but I always cross check Yr.no, Windy Ty, etc for a trend or confirmation. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New app version *2025-06-05, version 1.2.0* This used to be a really great app but the latest version is just not working time to go back to the drawing board ### 1/5 — No Gizzy *2025-01-17, version 1.2.0* Doesn’t have Gisborne ### 1/5 — Pressure charts *2023-05-18, version 1.2.0* Rather than have a smooth transition your useless function jumps in stages when looking at the pressure chart, it should be a smooth flow to see easier what the direction of the wind is doing on the weather fronts ### 1/5 — Good don’t come here *2021-07-27, version 1.1.4* Only as far north as the BOI. I’ll have to use an app with accurate weather information. ### 1/5 — Reads the clipboard data *2020-10-09, version 1.1.4* I noticed that this app reads the clipboard data when it opens. The number of ads gives me a low confidence in this app. Are they selling my clipboard data to the highest bidder? What if there are passwords or other sensitive information in there? ### 1/5 — Wildly inconsistent and inaccurate! *2019-12-09, version 1.1.4* Forecasting done by kids with absolutely NO local knowledge of local conditions!! Especially true in Wellington... that’s after you are forced to wait for an advert for a department store to load?!!... pathetic... for a SOE you’d kind think that forecasts that are critical to so many at sea have to wait out pointless advertising!!! May as well run an episode of the Kardashians to generate more money?... ### 1/5 — Joke *2017-10-13* Their tides are about 6 hours out. Don't waste your time ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2025-06-10, version 1.2.0* Used to be great, now it’s slow to load and locks up on my iPad ### 2/5 — Annoying *2022-02-16, version 1.1.4* It is annoying that once you have set your location on initial set up, you can’t change it. ### 2/5 — Advertising *2022-01-18, version 1.1.4* Shame that Metservice as an SOE allows Google to distribute advertising to consumers on its platform. I have noticed that a larger number of ads are phishing from overseas marketing companies and in fact are click bait ads. Reliability and accuracy of weather information is somewhat lacking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tides! *2026-07-10, version 1.2.0* Perfect for seeing the tides in Warrington since the main app won't display them. ### 5/5 — Accurate reporting *2026-07-09, version 1.2.0* I use this all the time for planning all the outdoor activities that are to be enjoyed, cycling and boating particularly ### 5/5 — Check the weather before you go! *2026-03-13, version 1.2.0* Excellent application, especially when you’re near Four on the water. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2025-01-11, version 1.2.0* Always my first choice when looking at boating weather etc… ### 5/5 — A must have 👍🏻 *2024-10-05, version 1.2.0* Always use it before planning a coastal visit ### 5/5 — Tide chart *2024-07-13, version 1.2.0* It would be ideal to have the tide chart also showing on the home page. ### 5/5 — Weather forcasting *2024-05-12, version 1.2.0* Really great app for weather updates. Its good to have up to date radars and isobar maps and forward predictions. The interesting thing with weather is its so changeable. Its always surprises me when the climate change roosters are telling us their predictions out for 30 to 50 years and they can not even get the next 6 months rite. I suppose if they say it so many times it will become what people think is the truth. Crazy! And to think they are getting paid good salaries to just make up stuff and guess. We mite as well get 5year olds to do it. ### 5/5 — Give or take. *2023-08-22, version 1.2.0* Doesn’t matter which app you use. You always give or take a couple of knots anyway. Mean app!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-06-04, version 1.2.0* Very informative. Quick and easy to make assessment. ### 5/5 — Useful resource *2023-06-01, version 1.2.0* A reliable source of information that I always use to confirm other forecast models before venturing out --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
