MetService Reviews

Extremely limited weather app compared to what’s available in the US. It would be nice to have more customizable controls on what is seen and more access to data like wind maps, tides, lightning. The radar map is extremely low detail and doesn’t even provide a location. It would be great to provide minute-casts with weather like Auckland in the winter. Also the video plays through the ringer volume which is just bad programming.

MetService is terrible and Metservuce forecasts are unreliable. They can’t even predict wind strength, resorting to updating forecast in real-time.

If you want a decent forecast of weather use MetService “Windy”. Normally 90 % accurate a week out.

this app you need to get better or stop taking taxpayer money. !

I downloaded this for a NZ visit. It is painfully slow and cumbersome due in part to the limited and slow mobile internet service in NZ. Images and radars take ages to load. It's much easier and faster to get the weather info elsewhere. 2 stars.

After giving it a few weeks to see if I could learn the new version, I can say now it is awful. It is now nearly impossible to use for quick reference for weather. I loved the old version allowed you to quickly swipe to see the days, as well as included images from local areas. This version has gotten a graphic design upgrade that is LOW on readability and requires way too much scrolling to find anything. I'm sure this app paid a pretty penny for this redesign and they should demand a fix. I also paid for MetService and am now seeing ads... no, not how paid apps work. So disappointed.

Useless eye candy makes getting details impossible for knowing what to bring or whether to drive or bike. If you get the display to show rain and wind, you can't easily swipe back and forth between differ parts of the region. Combined with interface freezes and feature loss (where'd the full national radar picture go?!), I'm really sad I "upgraded".

New app is slow to load. Seems to have less info - or maybe just uses more real estate to display it. Bring back the old one please.

The design is smart and it conveys all the info I need without too many clicks.

Not a bad start, but still leaves much to be desired. MetService is buggy and crashes each and every time I try to view the hourly data. As it stands, the mobile version of the this app web site is far better, and presents information much clearer. You can create your own app to take you to the site by visiting www.this app.co.nz on your mobile phone, click OK, when asked if you'd like to view a mobile version of the website, then select your Town. When your town or location appears, use the Share button at the bottom of the Safari app and select Add to Home Screen. Viola, you have your own app. It has a better layout and design too than the real app that you must purchase. Not worth the money in my estimation until they fix the bugs and the overly 'busy' design of MetService .

Takes an age to load, location services do not work and continually tells you that you are "offline" even when connected. Do not bother!

Why so slow to load? Using mobile website is faster. Defeats the whole point.

Please remove all the ads off this paid app.

Originally you'd pay for ads free, now switched to ads everywhere. No longer worth buying.

I paid for MetService , now it has ads. Complete bait and switch. Will be deleting this as it is now worthless to me.

Slow, sometimes doesn't load at all, and UI requires too many taps for simple tasks.

Why should I have to suffer the ads when you charge for MetService ?

MetService is very slow loading and this is using an iPad Pro.
