All straight from BOM, which very few others provide. And of those, in my opinion, this is clearly the most usable, with the cleanest, best interface. Plus support from the developer is exceptional. We highly recommend this app (& often do recommend it to others). ### 4/5 — Very good, but relies on only BOM data *2026-04-21, version 4.7.4* I used to find BOM derived weather forecasts good but for where I live now, Caloundra QLD, Apple Weather is far better. The BOM says it’ll rain all the time and it doesn’t, Apple is more conservative I’d switch back to Oz weather if it could use Apple Weather API and turn BOM forecasts off. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-04-16, version 4.7.4* Great modeling , Thankyou ### 5/5 — Still the best! *2026-04-08, version 4.7.4* Visually appealing & always accurate. I’ve tried all of the other weather apps but this is the one you want. Thanks goes to the developer who has continued to improve the app year after year ### 5/5 — Better than BOM *2026-03-13, version 4.7.3* Been using this app for years. Extremely user friendly. Can be extremely detailed if you want it to be or just the basics if that’s what you’re after. Its radar is really perfect for anticipating storms etc, and way better than BOMs radar. Radar has a variety of coverage diameters right up to National. And multiple radars available if one is offline. Weather available for wherever you are in Australia. I bought it years ago . Was a couple of dollars . Hasn’t cost me anything since despite many upgrades. Don’t know what it costs know but do yourself a favour and just get it. ### 1/5 — Biggest wet day in Adelaide and app doesn’t work? *2026-02-28, version 4.7.3* Useless ### 5/5 — Easily the Best Weather App *2026-01-27, version 4.7.3* Been using it for years on the iPhone and iPad. Easy to read and understand information. Uses BoM data so it’s as accurate as it can be. ### 5/5 — Best of all the weather apps *2026-01-24, version 4.7.3* Never fails in my experience. Provides all the recent historical information and forecasts that I want. I check it and rely on it constantly. Brilliant, a first class app. ### 3/5 — Complications not updating on Apple Watch series 11 *2026-01-08, version 4.7.3* Don’t know if this is an iOS 26 issue but complications on the Apple Watch Series 11 are not updating With Watch OS 26.2 ### 5/5 — Upgrade needed as overdue *2025-12-25, version 4.7.3* Still a great app. Satellite overlay on the radar screen would be a nice addition.
