This is generally critical information for our operation… ### 2/5 — Always wrong *2024-11-12, version 1.2.1* The weather is never right. I’m sure they just take a guess ### 4/5 — Rural weather *2024-05-08, version 1.2.1* All good enjoy the app, refer to it most days and it is very informative. ### 4/5 — Very helpful *2024-04-15, version 1.2.1* Very helpful to see how much moist is coming and from which direction the rain is coming from ### 3/5 — Good rural weather forecast *2024-03-01, version 1.2.1* Needs some refinements but fairly accurate ### 4/5 — Weather *2023-11-27, version 1.2.1* Very useful, I check it every day.Thanks 😊 ### 3/5 — Rain radar map size *2023-02-05, version 1.2.0* The app was perfect before the last update made 3 months ago. Now the rural radar selection doesn’t zoom in, and the whole North Island is displayed on half the screen - before the update the Te Puke radar basically only covered the Bay of Plenty on the whole screen allowing for an accurate prediction for when the rain would hit or miss. This was awesome for planning a bike trip or run. ### 3/5 — Good *2023-02-01, version 1.2.0* Only gave 3 stars due to the stupid ad that pops up just when your trying to read the weather. ### 5/5 — Rural weather review *2023-01-24, version 1.2.0* Love this App. We are farmers and use the app multiple times per day. It is pretty accurate. Would love some other main towns added e.g. Cambridge. Great App thank you 😊 ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-01-02, version 1.2.0* User friendly ### 5/5 — Great service *2022-12-24, version 1.2.0* Very useful mostly accurate thank you ### 3/5 — The Maps are Small *2022-12-24, version 1.2.0* I’ve used this app for years and it’s great, but… I’m really regretting upgrading versions. The latest version have fonts that are small but it also has the weather maps very small on the iPhone. I use the maps all the time. Other than that, it’s great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 48hr forecast not displayed *2025-09-13, version 1.2.1* Love this app and rely on it daily but the 48hr forecast isn’t displaying! I need this to know how many jobs I can get done before rain starts. Please resolve! ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-06-05, version 1.2.1* Hasn’t been working last 2 days when I need it the most ### 1/5 — The adds suck *2024-09-16, version 1.2.1* The adds suck ### 1/5 — Terrible forecast *2024-03-11, version 1.2.1* Not great guys sorry.. rain is always forecast in a weeks time and never happens. Norwegian YR is much better - how can that be! We are in Cust ### 1/5 — Bad weather reports *2024-01-24, version 1.2.1* You get it wrong far to much and now apps not bringing up the weather ### 1/5 — Tonyw *2023-12-07, version 1.2.1* Have to reload too many times when attempting to move to radar screen! ### 1/5 — Real time *2023-09-19, version 1.2.1* I’d like to see the temperature and what the weather is doing at the time I open the app, not just what the estimate for the whole day.. a bit disappointed that it’s gone from google search too.. ### 1/5 — Weather map *2022-12-14, version 1.2.0* The size of the new map is half the size of the screen which doesn’t work. Useless ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-11-03, version 1.2.0* Half screen wether maps ### 1/5 — It’s all in a new small format *2022-11-02, version 1.2.0* It’s changed to a small format ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-02-14, version 1.2.1* Very handy ### 5/5 — My go to app for rain *2025-03-14, version 1.2.1* The forecasts are updated regularly so it is good to track the changes To understand how the predictions are being refined (wetter or drier). Especially rainfall hourly distribution (this often spreads out). The rain radar is excellent on scattered rain days as you can check it and ‘see rain coming’. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-20, version 1.2.1* Thanks very much Great app ### 5/5 — Our weather *2024-05-29, version 1.2.1* A very important app for my farm business From how I shift my stock to when I shift them It is very important for a farmer to reduce pasture damage an runoff of nutrients This weather app has been a huge help in my management ### 5/5 — Radar *2024-04-25, version 1.2.1* Wonderful to see right at present moment where rain is and which way it’s travelling. Wouldn’t be without it. Thanks ### 5/5 — Love the simple easy to read rain bars *2023-11-19, version 1.2.1* I love the simple 48hour rain bars guide as it lets me see how wet it’s likely to be. Often reports will say it’s going to be wet, but this app will often show on closer look it’s only patchy showers I can work and plan around I find this app the best reliable and most used of my several weather apps ### 5/5 — Metservice app *2023-09-02, version 1.2.1* This is the most accurate app I have come across ### 5/5 — Brian Mullin …..I wish the radar map was full size….all else = fine *2023-03-28, version 1.2.0* Use it almost every day…..being a golfer, the most useful page is rain radar….excellentI wish I tool plus forecast pretty accurate even during Covid when Air NZ provided less data than before. ### 5/5 — Helen Spencer-Bower *2023-02-18, version 1.2.0* I particularly like seeing the 3 & 5 day weather maps. Having grown up on a farm we used to listen to the weather forecasts everyday as it was often very helpful. Please keep up the good work. HS-B... ### 5/5 — New update *2023-02-10, version 1.2.0* The new update is shrunk the size of the weather maps on my iPhone it uste to be full screen not it’s half the size.
