Bought my own weather station so I can get local weather. ### 3/5 — Nothing *2026-08-24, version 6.14.0* Nothing ### 2/5 — Terrible *2026-08-17, version 6.13.3* The more updates there are, the worse the accuracy seems to get. I understand that weather predictions can never be 100% certain, but the forecasts are noticeably less accurate than they used to be. ### 2/5 — Going Backwards *2026-08-10, version 6.13.3* We don't even have an expectated temperature now, logo/emoji's for weather gone... Go back to how it was. ### 3/5 — Accuracy *2026-08-06, version 6.13.3* It’s good to know the weather but accuracy should be. better ### 1/5 — Frauds *2026-08-05, version 6.13.3* BOM takes pleasure in canvassing false readings and forecasts. 2400 persons employed to inform Australia it might rain tomorrow. What’s sinister about this incompetence is that the bureau inform policy. Very dangerous. ### 3/5 — Prefer API access to all data *2026-08-03, version 6.13.3* I understand (but may be mistaken), API access is only to limited data sets of my data. I would prefer if I could access all my data via API. ### 4/5 — Thank you *2026-08-03, version 6.13.3* Grateful for this app ### 5/5 — Frederick M *2026-07-30, version 6.13.3* After a few false starts, I think BOM has nailed this app. Lots of info and brilliant Rain Radar. Easy to get Forecasts and Map for anywhere in Australia. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO BOM??!? *2026-09-02, version 6.14.0* Great app functionally, but the prediction accuracy is woeful. You could previously use this app to predict rain time and mm accurately down to the hour… but everything has been watered down in 2026 so now BOM app is about as helpful as looking out the window 😩😩 ### 1/5 — I’d prefer the old BOM *2026-09-01, version 6.14.0* I’d prefer the old BOM ### 1/5 — Red location instead of blue , wow *2026-08-28, version 6.14.0* Map detail - still useless. Rain prediction - totaly useless You made accidentally deleting favourites easy Congratulations , you made it worse Idiots ### 1/5 — This app *2026-08-27, version 6.14.0* Go back to the old version, please ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-08-25, version 6.14.0* The App hasn’t been working the last few days, I miss it ! ### 1/5 — Careless, sub par, non-professional *2026-08-22, version 6.14.0* You guys have prob sacked all real men and women and are using ai. The app got butchered about 4 updates ago, landscape view was messed up. A.I. ain’t the best at web design🤣 If it was a real person, I’d question their skills and qualifications. The landscape issue has been fixed in this most recent update, great! Now I don’t have to pull the view to the left to see current details… BUT… The bot messed up portrait view now 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve used free tier bots and even they double check themselves. Looking forward to see how much more this ai bot y’all are using can mess things up more🤣 🌪☔️⚡️🌩⛈⛅️🌤 ### 1/5 — Awful user interface, not well designed *2026-08-20, version 6.14.0* Skeuomorphism has been replaced with counterintuitive flat ‘design’. ### 1/5 — The worst weather app *2026-08-20, version 6.14.0* The BOM was already bad and after the 96 million $$$ update it’s even worse! Get Accuweather, it’s got way more features and information, faster, looks better, everything about it is better. ### 1/5 — old app better *2026-08-16, version 6.13.3* rain map only works 50% of the time need to reload app harder than old app to get around if it ain’t broke don’t fix it old app better what a waste of money!! ### 1/5 — BOM bombed - Are they kidding? *2026-08-10, version 6.13.3* An app that mysteriously excludes my iPhone 13S??! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accurate *2026-09-02, version 6.14.0* Vast majority of the time. ### 5/5 — At last! *2026-08-20, version 6.14.0* Edit… Thanks for today’s update BOM. For finally fixing that !%#@ mismatch in time and display for QLD. 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. ### 5/5 — Please just leave this app alone. Thank you. *2026-08-17, version 6.13.3* Please don’t ruin it like the main site. ### 5/5 — Bom is da bomb *2026-08-12, version 6.13.3* So good ### 5/5 — As good if not better *2026-08-09, version 6.13.3* Replaced my paid app. ### 5/5 — Trustworthy and Reliable *2026-08-08, version 6.13.3* A science base weather forecast service funded by the public that should serve the interests of the public and the country ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-08-06, version 6.13.3* Speedy and accurate ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-05, version 6.13.3* Super easy to use, Wouldn’t pick any other app! All weather observations and predictions are allll accurate. ### 5/5 — Great Info *2026-08-04, version 6.13.3* A very easy and informative app. I like that you can just type in any town in Australia and get the information for that town. I also like that I am informed approx 30 before the rain (substantial) comes down in my area.
