Comments on MetService Rural Weather App for Android

★★★★★ Dean Miller · Oct 1, 2017

Works just like the original Met service app. Quick to load, easy access to rain radar etc. Highly recommend this over the main Met service app if you live (or live close to) a rural area.

★★★★☆ Jane Donovan · Jan 19, 2020

So much more than Google or AccuWeather. Seems a day behind but NZ weather does play fast & loose! Thanks for this freebie, NZ Met Service. Jan'20 wouldn't open! Cleared cache, still 'couldn't connect with the server.' deleted & reinstall. Wait.....

★★★★☆ Katarina Tawiri · Sep 7, 2025

I used this app for many years, but this week it doesn't work anymore. It keeps saying it can't find the server. Updated the phone, re-installed app, it still doesn't work. Just have to look outside to find out about the rural weather now 😑

★★☆☆☆ Peter Buxton · Sep 6, 2025

Edit: used to be great, now just getting a prompt to connect to their server. All other internet connections are fine with other apps. It was great. This app is great. It has everything the evening weather has and more. When used in conjunction with WINDSURF you can be almost 100% sure of what's happening. Cheers FMG for making this app free. :-)

★☆☆☆☆ luane brauner · Sep 21, 2025

Has been the best, but recently it doesn't work. I hv been uninstalling it twice and downloaded again. After a few days it can't find its server. A friend says it's now only gives one day forecast. Waited.

★☆☆☆☆ Pat Fairhall · Nov 25, 2021

Had been a great weather app but now keeps crashing. Will not open at all. Message says Rural weather has stopped. Close App.
