## What is Oz Radar Weather?

AUSTRALIAN WEATHER RADAR. This app only shows radars and weather for Australia.

***************************** 

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS APP. What the other apps don't have.
1) It uses GPS to show your location on the radar.
2) Oz Radar supports full screen landscape view.
3) National cloud and synoptic charts.
4) Local weather and rain forecasts
5) Rain notifications
6) BOM weather warning notifications

(But don't believe me, read the reviews)
***************************** 


Oz weather radar allows you to view the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) weather radar information located through Australia. Each radar image can be panned and zoomed to get a better look at the area you are interested in. Approximately 50 radars cover a large proportion of Australia to bring you the most up to date weather information. 

The information cycles through the last few images so you can get a good look at what is happening around you.

All views show the latest feeds directly from the BOM web site.  Dedicated weather watch radars provide the most up to date weather information every 10 minutes and in some cases every 6 minutes. 

You can also view the last 6 hours of satellite cloud imagery that is taken every hour on the National view.  

Features not seen in other apps include;
* Showing YOUR GPS location on the radar map.
* Listing nearby radars
* Cached backgrounds for faster loading and less data usage
* Pinch zoom with drag panning
* Selection of surrounding radar by direction
* LANDSCAPE View
* Animated national weather chart
* Animated national synoptic chart (The one with the lines ad arrows)
* Weather readings from hundreds of weather stations.
* Weather forecasts for all over Australia

Note : This app uses background location to generate alerts of rain in your current area.

### 3/5 — The old BOM radar site is still available

*2025-11-15, version 4.58*

Dear Administrators. Please adjust your settings or links to  or pick up the old BOM. imagery. Would make a lot of loyal users happy

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-11-13, version 4.58*

What is going on with this app lately?! It just won’t open to work and you keep needing to swipe away and reopen until on its 10th open it works then shows nothing.  Considering it’s a paid app I upgraded some support would be great!

### 1/5 — Continues to get worse

*2025-10-31, version 4.58*

Was good in the past. Time to move on

### 3/5 — Radars not working

*2025-10-29, version 4.58*

Has been a great app. However since a BoM launched its new website the radar feature is no longer working. Please fix 🙏

### 1/5 — No longer works.

*2025-10-27, version 4.58*

Bom updated their site and this no longer works.

### 1/5 — Rain radar

*2025-10-26, version 4.58*

The app used to be so good, but you DON’T seem to be able to handle the changes at the BOM site 
Other apps have been able to cope with the changes  ?

### 1/5 — Not loading the weather imagery to show rain and wind

*2025-10-26, version 4.58*

Just paid $2.99 for this app thinking it would be better than my previous Oz Radar lite which seemed to be having problems working. The purchased app is also not loading the imagery for rain and wind. How do I get my money back?

### 5/5 — Thanks bom

*2025-10-23, version 4.58*

Has always been my go to app for the weather and judging how far a storm was away , now that bom has dropped their “ update “ this app is pretty much useless so 5 stars for the app 1 star to bom !

### 4/5 — Tide data 2025?

*2025-03-28, version 4.58*

Oh, and could we please have a decent Autumn break, actually any time now would be great. 

Cheers 
Rob.
