### 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

### 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 🙏

### 2/5 — “Not enough”

*2024-08-23, version 4.58*

A farmers daughter 
Always interested in weather
Live in Perth Western Australia
primarily your map shows weather approach from west moving eastwards 
One can’t determine what or when to DO things because your weather maps do not give us any predictability -in Perth!
I’d be grumpy as this applies more to life on Rottenest. 
Not saying BOM APP is better but one can pinch the image on BOM and be able to see speed of movement of weather fronts or heat resistance lows (my mental words of certain weather patterns) 

Can you please offer us ENOUGH of a map to be able to  “”READ”” the approaching weather of what is approaching the coast of Western Australia AND AT WHAT SPEED?!?!? 

By example when I was living in YALGOO For 20 years and Esperance for 20 years I would be able to ID type and speed of approaching weather!!! Simply because geographically there is enough “map” to read. 
Since I NOW live in Perth versus Kalgoorlie or adelaide hills (born in Strathalbyn SA) or even better in farmland & mining  regions of East coast Victoria and New South Wales ——you offer them days of approaching weather patterns!! 
In perth one can wake up at any hour and POW it’s arrived OR WORSE passed over. 
My dearest friends own a million acres in SW of QLD even they can predict as much as you are since one can your maps with enough lead time.! 
In Perth and all coastal regions of Western Australia as you awake POW it’s not a prediction for preparation it’s there ON TOP OF YOU! 
Can you give us some MORE map to at least demonstrate you are pretending to offer the “whole state” predictors- instead of open your eyes anywhere in Perth regions and it’s not a prediction it’s ON TOP OF YOU or worse past?!?!?!

Same same from Perth WA to the  coastal areas of Hobart, Sydney etc etc
Stop pretending to offer “predictions” when it’s actually overhead.?!?!
Please.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2023-08-04, version 4.51*

Use to love this on my iPad, but crashes every time. Come on, one job people

### 1/5 — Needs a major overhaul

*2023-05-27, version 4.51*

Used to be great. Now can’t even load radar images without crashing. Spend your $$$ elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2022-10-26, version 4.51*

Buckland park radar image is unusable don’t bother

### 1/5 — Crashing and needs updating

*2022-02-28, version 4.50*

App is continually crashing. Time for a new weather app I think!
App hasn’t been updated for a long time. Time to step it up.

### 1/5 — Not worth $3.

*2021-10-25, version 4.50*

This has less functionality than the free version in that I can’t see a way to change the radar range. Also the Help link is broken. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Why did it go black?

*2021-09-26, version 4.50*

After working well for years, the map backgrounds have all suddenly gone black??

This app is in desperate need of an update please.... it keeps crashing and I can’t open it on the iPad.

### 1/5 — What happened to this app

*2020-08-24, version 4.50*

Where is the creator of this app doesn’t reply never had an update used to be a great app maybe he’s made his money and did a runner

### 2/5 — Update your app

*2020-06-09, version 4.50*

Please for goodness sake update your app! It’s continuously crashing and shutting down! It’s beyond a joke!

### 1/5 — Crashes can’t change radar

*2019-11-22, version 4.50*

Terrible constantly crashing can’t find how to change radar location and radius 
Give my money back 😡😡

### 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

### 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?

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-02-14, 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 up I upgraded some support would be great!

### 1/5 — Not good anymore

*2025-01-30, version 4.58*

Have been using this app for many years because I prefer the map look but it’s not working well now. I have to swipe it away and then reopen every time now. Is there an update??

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2024-11-26, version 4.58*

Love the app but please update. I have to open it twice to be able to use it. Also my 128 km Sydney radar shows the same picture for the last few months. 64 and 256 is ok

### 1/5 — Used to be ok, now not so much…

*2024-04-03, version 4.58*

Has always crashed heaps but for months none of the radars have worked for me. Have deleted tiles and the app then reinstalled but still no luck :(

### 1/5 — MIKE

*2023-12-02, version 4.52*

Disappointing App - I have an iphone 14 & it doesn’t work BUT it works fine on my OLD iphone 6 & my very old ipad…. go figure ??
Tried all fixes, & had help from the App people as well but no solution????

### 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 !

### 5/5 — Still the best weather app!

*2021-01-19, version 4.50*

Been using this for years on all my iOS devices, not about to change.  Best radar screen for storms & rain density.  
Thank you 👍🏻 😎

### 5/5 — Great Support

*2020-04-29, version 4.50*

The people behind this app are super helpful and listen to any ideas. It works brilliantly and is really reliable. Couldn’t be happier with this weather app.

### 5/5 — Pilots choice

*2017-06-16*

The weather app of choice for pilots. 

It's been updated. G2G again. 

Recommend.

### 5/5 — Needs update for ios8

*2014-09-30*

Please can we have an option to get the BOM radar in the  notification today  window

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-12-17, version 3.06*

When living in Queensland with its wild weather. Super reliable & so easy to use. Latest addition of weather also very worthwhile. A specific iPad app would be very welcome!

### 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.

### 4/5 — Tide app

*2022-05-20, version 4.51*

Yay back online and easy effective Tile, maybe a one hit button to return to “Today”

Great overall wether app

### 4/5 — Go to weather app

*2021-04-03, version 4.50*

I have been using the oz radar light for over five years and it has been very reliable. I’ve just purchased the full version and the tiles are a good way of having multiple views of the same place or creating an extended map around your location. I’ve noticed there’s a few bugs when moving down the menu structure and the app has crashed once or twice while I was configuring. 
A big concern is data privacy and security and I trust the developer will address this issue as soon as possible. Noting the last version upgrade of the software was a long time ago.
Overall, I’m giving this app 4 stars based on my consistent 4 - 5 times a day use of Oz Radar lite and my limited use of the paid app. If the paid app is anything like the lite, it will continue to be my go-to weather radar app.

### 4/5 — My go-to app

*2017-10-08, version 4.49*

My go-to weather app for several years. Melbourne radar station was recently upgraded by BOM so it went offline for some weeks in Sep/Oct 2017 so some issues with all weather apps in Melb. The app should now default to Broadmeadows or Melb Airport. A wonderfully feature full app. Thx :)
