### 4/5 — Dana

*2026-08-30, version 4.12.9*

Pretty accurate, and reliable information

### 4/5 — Location

*2026-08-26, version 4.12.9*

Sometimes the location where I am on the map is wrong and when I go to 25% it’s off me completely

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-08-09, version 4.12.9*

Good app but pop up ads are annoying.

### 3/5 — Paid for Free got add

*2026-08-01, version 4.12.9*

I remember buying this app, only to have adds put into it in later updates which I thought was a bit cheeky.

### 5/5 — Inconsistent data

*2026-07-15, version 4.12.8*

I love the app but don’t understand how it can be so different with its temperatures if you compare them to Willy Weather?  Always vastly different and they both source their information from BOM.  Not meant as a criticism just curious.

### 5/5 — Clear and simple

*2026-07-09, version 4.12.8*

The radar and forecast, simple not complicated. Just what’s needed.

### 5/5 — Accurate

The most accurate weather app I have used.

### 3/5 — Aus rain radar

*2026-07-01, version 4.12.8*

A good app. It was great before all the adverts. The adverts are super annoying to have to veiw before being able to see the weather.

### 5/5 — Better than new Bom

*2026-06-27, version 4.12.8*

Still better than new Bom

### 2/5 — Not loading

It’s also good to see your forecast when we plan a trip and destination😊

### 1/5 — Okay but frustrating

*2026-08-28, version 4.12.9*

The App itself is OK - actually not bad at all BUT IT IS SPOILED BY INTRUSIVE ADS THAT CANT BE REMOVED. I’ll find a better app

### 1/5 — Chance of rain

*2026-08-28, version 4.12.9*

How do you have a medium chance of showers at 30% a high chance of showers at 50% … it maybe better to look out the window

Being elderly, I find it very hard to understand how to use your Portal it needs to be more user-friendly for the elderly as well

### 1/5 — Disgrace

This app can’t predict the weather at all go back to the old way of predicting weather

### 1/5 — Advertising

*2026-06-01, version 4.12.8*

Hard to dismiss too intrusive

### 5/5 — Aus rain radar

Very accurate and extremely helpful when deciding the walk between showers. Very reliable.

### 5/5 — App Advice

*2026-07-27, version 4.12.9*

It’s a good App it lets you know the severity of Rain and Hail.  When it’s going to rain etc

### 5/5 — Rain Tsdsr

*2026-07-26, version 4.12.9*

App is very accurate and clear display

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-20, version 4.12.8*

I have tried many weather apps and this is the best one by a long way. I have 3 locations saved in Australia as we travel to these areas regularly so good to see the weather there whenever needed. Never once has it crashed or been unavailable as many others do. The pin of these locations is very accurate. Only negative is that I can’t use ‘family sharing’ and have to purchase pro version for each device. Having said that, it is a very low cost app. Highly recommended.
