About this app

WeatherWatch.co.nz is New Zealand's most popular private forecaster, with more local weather data than any other NZ provider and more local forecasts than our two Government forecasters. Powered by the most accurate weather data on earth from The Weather Company (an IBM business) we have every part of NZ covered, with alerts to ensure your local forecast is brought to life and you have fewer nasty surprises.

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!

NEW ALERTING APP
Our NEW Alerting App is not only a first for NZ but a global first! The ability to bring your local weather forecast to life. Get fewer nasty surprises by having your forecast alert you when certain criteria is met. What criteria? You choose! Our alerting app is all about helping your small business, farm, orchard, or just help you better plan any event outdoors. And we're only just getting started! Phase 1 is to bring your forecast to life (the new app we have now). Phase 2, with your support, will allow us to bring in real time rain radar and lightning alerts.

METSERVICE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
MetService Warnings and Watches - automatically pushed to your phone. If warnings are critical to you, don't go looking for them - let the warnings alert you with our exclusive new alerting mechanism.

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.

Nice app. Lots of good information. But the text box at the top of the screen telling me to download the app is VERY ANNOYING. I've downloaded the damn thing. I don't need to download it again. I'll update it when updates appear. Please, please, pretty please with knobs on, take that stupid text box away. If you do that for me I'll give you five stars...

Hi Alan. Thanks for your feedback. That top banner is a generic alert across the old mobile app, the new app, and the website. It will disappear soon. Do note, other alerts may show in that spot from time to time.
