## NIWAWeather Reviews in New Zealand

### ****- "Supports iPad but…"
Great app, would be better if iPad supported Landscape layout.
-- Msavory, 2024-12-25

### ***** "App"
Hi Team
Is the app still running, all I have been getting is the spinning wheel??
-- Mothy2, 2024-11-25

### **--- "Bug still not fixed for ‘please wat’"
Really great when it works, but hasn’t for months now…
-- 1love2read <3, 2024-07-27

### **--- "No longer works"
Just spins with “please wait”
-- Patrick-089458843, 2024-04-24

### *---- "Either broken or slow to load"
Frustrating
-- Acorngrove, 2024-01-31

### *---- "Not good"
Ministry funded to do one job.
Tell me the weather for a few days in advance. That’s it.
But NIWA says “no rain” while it’s pouring outside.
Can’t even get immediate weather correct, let alone what’s happening tomorrow.

Perhaps they need a window in the NIWA office.
-- moelb223, 2023-07-18

### ***** "Easy to understand"
Love that it has everything in one ‘bowl’ pretty accurate.
-- Kapai6270, 2023-06-14

### ***** "Great app"
Simple, easy to use and accurate. The data is presented simply and without any unnecessary clutter. It has a good amount of customization.
-- Stooj0, 2023-05-15

### *---- "Rubbish"
Claims no rain yet has been raining non stop and heavy for over 90 minutes
-- 2751387, 2022-12-14

### ***** "Awesome"
Great weather app. Simple and accurate
-- Willsmanjake, 2022-01-09

### *---- "Not a nice App to use.😞"
Just downloaded this app on my iPad. Unfortunately it was only developed for an iPhone doesn’t run full screen which makes it a bit useless. The detail and presentation when compared to the MetService App is not nice to use.
