MORE MAPS AND DATA
We have more maps than all NZ providers combined, more local, hourly and 10 day forecast data than any other forfecasters and we embrace AI which is learning from its mistakes and fine tuning accuracy in some of NZ's most remote locations. We've got you covered!

I like the new app, more information is always good. I still prefer to look at the rain radar in rural weather. I'd upgrade to 5 stars if the rain radar started at the beginning of the hour not the end, and if it transitioned between pictures cleanly. Currently the transitions flash white in-between making it hard to follow the subtle incremental changes in each rain radar picture. Also the soil moisture graphics aren't updating, mine still show data from the 31st December.

Hi Oliver. Thanks for your feedback. Having a white flash between rain radar images suggest the image files aren't downloading fast enough onto your device before it's being displayed. We'll look into improving this now that you've brought this to our attention.

Sorry guys, but a very average new app. 1. More than 1 saved location is pro only 2. Will not show 9 day forecast which, is a basic function.(Upgraded to 3 stars as now working). 3. Keeps showing me located in Blockhouse Bay when at Waiomu! (Auto locate) Have uninstalled/reinstalled, restarted phone etc hoping this is just a 'blockage' to be cleared to no avail. Makes no difference whether I am signed in or just a guest. Such a shame as I have been one of your supporters from early on.

Fantastic work on the new application. Congratulations on finally getting it up, and running. I know you've all been working overtime to get it to this stage. Yes there may be a few niggles but I am sure those will be ironed out in future updates. Those niggles don't deserve any downgrades, just continue doing what you are, and I am sure it'll all come right with time. Excellent Effort...Rated 5 stars...Super, Phillip, and company.
