Title: Which Weather Apps do you Use?
Post by: JennyLeez on May 31, 2017, 04:56:20 PM

Apps are slowly becoming a way of life and there is literally an App for everything. Needless to say there are hundreds of Weather Apps. Above is a list of Weather Apps most downloaded or most used both in New Zealand and Internationally.
You may tick as many as you use plus change your choices at any time.

Comments below are welcome especially if you are using an App not listed.

Waitara Weather[/url]

It looks good. My partner, who is in Waitara, has been using your site for weather info for ages, and reckons it is excellent and far more accurate  than the MetService one.

I use that Weather for Cumulus as it reads my own realtime.txt and hence my station.

I presume those 2 Weather Display ones do the same.

I also have "Weather 14 Days"  it actually forecasts for Pauri Village which is where Wanganui Prison is 300m to the east.  Don't know where it gets it's data from but it is not consistent with this area but conforms to the coast (Airport) where Metservice station is.
Weather for Cumulus by Ales Veluscek can't get to work yet  points to both xml and txt files  danged if I know what it means by sunbird  txt location file.    S'pose i'll stumble over a solution, but stops me getting bored.
Home Weather, Partially works everything except trends....another project to stop me getting bored.
Pocket PWS, I point to my xml file but seems to not see it....another project to stop me getting bored
