User reviews

Works fine

I use this app every day for my weather updates. Is it 100% accurate? No. The thing is though, the weather is unpredictable so 100% accuracy is unreasonable as a user experience. Therefore I treat the BOM as a great general guide instead.

Love it!

The BOM app is easy to use and generally correct.

Weather not

I live in the north west of Tasmania, I could honestly say this is the worst weather app I have had generally when I go to map it is ok some days, when the weather is bad it is always not working or under maintenance, and this is when u need it the most👎

So accurate

Always so accurate with rain and temperatures I really need to know about when I’m trading people outdoors as training and administration officer

At last!

Edit…
Thanks BOM for finally fixing that !%#@ing mismatch in time and display for QLD weather and the stupid 3-mode only display mode for iPads.
I know you had plenty on your to-do-list, so thank you 🙂
……
6th report (3rd update later) and the QUEENSLAND time is still wrong for horizontal displays for ‘today’ and ‘past’ page.
Rather important to the function of the app one would have thought?
Not surprising. BOM doesn’t read or respond to reviews anymore (last Dev response +2yrs ago!).
…..
Edit…
5th review after 2 updates and still no fix to BOM’s issue.
The TIME displayed for ‘today, tomorrow etc” horizontal menu for QLD is WRONG
One would think this would be deemed a significant problem, alas not so for BOM.
Ignored for 2 updates now.
*Feedback form on app is either ‘offline’ or simply ignored, as are these reviews - nobody is checking the AppStore reviews anymore. Shock!
I won’t be posting about this again.
…..
I used to be a proud BOM supporter but it seems you’ve lost focus on the main objective - accurate weather forecasting. Now you obsess over unnecessary details in an app. Let those who love the weather minutiae find it on your web pages. De-clutter the app and maybe it will help you refocus. Good Feng shui I hear.
