It is useless 😖😖 ### 4/5 — Nice for Tasmania *2025-12-18* For some reason, the app I use in the United States did not work in Tasmania as far as radar goes. This radar seems very accurate and I love that it has wind as well. However, I don’t know that there is a forecast, or I haven’t figured it out with the app, but it gives the current status which is nice for planning, vacation, etc.. ### 5/5 — Rain Radar *2025-12-03, version 9.0.4* Don’t change it. I like it the way it is ### 5/5 — Notifications *2025-11-30, version 9.0.4* Great app but would love to get hail notifications ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-24, version 9.0.4* Awesome app better than the BOM which is rubbish ### 3/5 — Better than BOM *2025-11-04, version 9.0.2* So much better than bom at least it doesn’t look like a Simpsons episode ### 5/5 — Best rain radar app out there! *2025-11-02, version 9.0.2* Thanks guys for promptly fixing the app back to its former state after the BOM caused it to stop working by butchering their website. I was lost without your app but so happy it’s back. Ten stars!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — Simple but brilliant app *2025-10-31, version 9.0.2* Works beautifully, my go-to radar app. Thanks for updating it after the recent BoM updates! ### 5/5 — Great radar *2025-10-30, version 9.0.2* The best rain radar there is. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-10-30, version 9.0.2* Been using for years. Easy access to the BOM rain radar. Working again after the BOM update. Definitely worth a look. ### 5/5 — Top app *2025-10-29, version 9.0.2* This is the best radar app and i am very grateful for its return thank you. ### 5/5 — Sad *2025-10-28, version 8.0.3* No radars anymore since BOM updated their website ### 5/5 — What’s wrong with this app *2025-10-28, version 8.0.3* I upgraded from an iPhone 8 to an 11 and the app didn’t operate after this Is there something else I have to do as I find this app very useful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No rain *2026-05-04, version 9.0.4* Can’t seem to get a clear picture on the rain forecast, or how much is coming ### 1/5 — Rain radar great - porn advertising at the bottom is revolting. *2026-01-06, version 9.0.4* Very disappointed seeing vile advertising at the bottom of the radar that I can’t remove. ### 1/5 — Not loading fast or. It at all *2025-10-28, version 8.0.3* Poor ### 1/5 — No maps *2025-10-28, version 8.0.3* I cannot download any radar maps. ### 1/5 — Too often issue with no radar images available North Qld. *2025-10-28, version 8.0.3* Too often has issues “cannot load radar images. Sometimes my local, other times like now everywhere. Not good enough guys, been days of nothing now! ### 1/5 — What’s happened *2025-10-28, version 8.0.3* What has happened to this app , cannot access the radar Is this to make us pay for this service Please advise ### 1/5 — No radar images *2025-10-27, version 8.0.3* Everything has stopped working for some reason. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-10-27, version 8.0.3* Since BOM changed data format nothing is displayed in this app anymore. Pretty useless now ### 1/5 — No Longer Works! *2025-10-26, version 8.0.3* Sadly thanks to BOM update, this app is no longer functional. ### 1/5 — No image available error *2025-10-26, version 8.0.3* I’ve used this excellent app for years and find its clean clear display and UI the best of the BOM-data based radar apps. It suddenly gave this error message for ALL radars and this continues after reinstallation. My guess is BOM have changed their data format per comments elsewhere but I can find no way to contact Verve to ask if they will update app. Even the AppStore developer link goes to a completely unrelated advertisement. So that just left this review as a plea for help - I’m happy to update the rating if the app is fixed. Meanwhile I’ve had to load another less appealing one. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Radar excellence *2026-05-26, version 9.0.4* Best radar I have found and used over the last 5 years ### 5/5 — Blue dot. *2026-05-25, version 9.0.4* Great radar but how do l get the location marker ### 5/5 — Quality App *2026-05-16, version 9.0.4* Find it very helpful ### 5/5 — Marty *2026-03-26, version 9.0.4* I like this rain radar app it is accurate ### 5/5 — Rainy Days *2026-02-08, version 9.0.4* The app gives an accurate picture of what storms are about to hit our area. I like the colours indicating the severity of rainfall. ### 5/5 — No image available error *2026-01-22* I’ve used this excellent app for years and find its clean clear display and UI the best of the BOM-data based radar apps. Late in 2025 it suddenly gave an error message for ALL radars - I believe BOM had changed their data format per comments elsewhere. I'm pleased to say the developer subsequently updated it and the app is back to to its normal perfect operation. My only minor annoyance is that the feedback/contact links both in the store and in the message about it being updated go to an ad rather than anywhere near Verve, so reviews seem to be the only way of contacting the developer. **Developer response:** A fix has now been released. Apologies for the delay & any inconvenience this has caused, noting that this is a free app maintained in my spare time, and breaking changes at the BOM are totally outside of my control. It would be much appreciated if you could update your rating & review based on the new version. ### 5/5 — Fixed! (No longer working) *2026-01-21, version 9.0.4* Developer was very helpful. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Everything fixed, works good again *2026-01-21* Was stuffed after an BOM update as it relies on their data. Now it is fixed and works again. Thanks for fixing it **Developer response:** A fix has now been released. Apologies for the delay & any inconvenience this has caused, noting that this is a free app maintained in my spare time, and breaking changes at the BOM are totally outside of my control. It would be much appreciated if you could update your rating & review based on the new version. ### 5/5 — Louie V *2026-01-14, version 9.0.4* I have finally found the best radar app, finally found what I’m looking for. ### 5/5 — Map *2026-01-12, version 9.0.4* Be good to see the whole map of Australia with the radar just a thought --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
