Oz weather converted from old to new
I'm a bit of a weather buff and it took me several weeks to decide on whether to convert to the new Oz weather app. Having done so, the enhancements made to an already great app have been great. The small investment is well worth it.
Update : 6-Aug-2017 : Glad app is being updated regularly.
Update: 03-Nov-2017 : The App just keeps on getting better. Sometimes you wonder how the app could get any better than it is already.

Still missing one important feature
I do like this app, the information is detailed and accurate but I have no idea why, after all these years, the developers have still not included the 3 hourly forecasts available from the BOM. Pretty much every other weather app does this which also means they support Time Travel on the Apple Watch.
Because the temperature pattern across the day matters to me to plan what I need to wear or bring to work at multiple sites (offices, warehouses and open areas) during a long working day I can’t use this as my everyday weather reference.

Response from developer
Thanks for your considered comments. Sadly I doubt 3-hourly data will ever be added to this app. As it stands, BoM charges about $5k p.a. to obtain that data, and then it would probably cost a lot more than that in app redevelopment costs. Unlike the good-old-days, this app doesn't even cover its costs any more - there are way too many free (mainly ad-subsidised) alternatives, including BoM's own free app. I continue to maintain Oz Weather despite that only because I am a weather enthusiast and would hate to lose what it provides me and the many others who use it and appreciate it daily.
Fabulous
Accurate and quicker than loading the BOM page.
Excellent App
Best Australian weather app. I have used it for years. Highly recommended.
Reliable
This app typically has accurate info, and I like the interface. My default weather app.
Using it for years
Have always found this app great for capturing bom information in an easy to track manner.

Excellent App
Use this App every day and love it!! Enough detail and easy at a glance.
No forecast
Just bought this app. Can't comment about the quality of the data, except that it's retrospective... I wanted to know what is going to happen in the next few days as it evolves during the day. This app just gives an all too brief synopsis - not sure what the "plus" means in the title other than I had to pay for it.
Really disappointed. Money back please. Utter rubbish.
