NextImg:After NBC10 Boston, meteorologists Matt and Danielle Noyes launch free weather app: ‘We’re thrilled’

If you’ve missed Boston meteorologist power couple Matt and Danielle Noyes on your TV screen, you can now see them delivering weather forecasts on a new free platform.

The local meteorologists have officially launched their app called the “Noyes’ 1DegreeOutside Weather Network” app.

The Apple iOS app is now out, and their Android app will be coming soon.

“We’ve been hearing from a lot of folks that they’re so happy and thrilled with our new venture, but they miss seeing us give them the weather forecast,” Matt told the Herald on Friday.

“Well, you don’t have to miss us anymore,” he added. “You can wake up and watch our weather forecast right there on your phone. We’re right there.”

Matt and Danielle rolled out their weather website 1DegreeOutside weeks ago after Matt said goodbye to his NBC10 and NECN family following a long run there. Danielle, who has been freelancing with NBC10 Boston, previously competed against Noyes when she was with WBZ.

After their website went live, the app is now available for download. It was already up to No. 23 in the world for free weather apps on Apple.

“We’re thrilled to announce the Noyes’ 1°Outside Weather Network App has now launched on Apple’s iOS,” they posted on their website this week.

When making the change from TV to the digital-first weather market, Matt cited a YouGov poll that showed only 43% of respondents turned to local TV news for weather information, while 53% of people used an app. However, only 34% of respondents found those apps to be very accurate.

“When building this app, we wanted to make sure it’s getting the best information out to the greatest number of people possible,” Matt said, also noting that their core principles are “accuracy, transparency, honesty and a good user experience.”

“We have a simple, straightforward platform,” he added, saying how many weather apps are cluttered with ads and pop-ups that can get in the way. “We put new videos at the top, so you see a meteorologist you trust, and you get an explanation about what’s going to happen. It helps folks digest the data right out of the gate.”

The meteorologists plan to do livestreams in the app if there are significant storms.

The app shows current conditions in your region, radar, hourly forecasts for precise detail, and a 14-day outlook for an idea of upcoming weather trends.

When setting up your app, you can plug in your community and then pinpoint your home to get a personal forecast. You can compare the weather at your residence versus your kid’s school, for example.

“It’s empowering for the user to set this kind of precision,” Matt said, noting how weather can be very different depending on where you’re located in a community.

Users can opt in for direct alerts about different weather events. People are also able to send in weather photos and videos through the app.

Making the app free was very important for them, Matt said.

“If you build a quality product, the rest will take care of itself,” he added. “Everybody should be able to get this, and by doing the right thing and putting the user first, the rest will take care of itself.”

Google’s approval process for their Android app has been slower than Apple’s process. They expect that the Android approval will be done soon.
