Does Exactly What it Says

Have been using this app for many years now. It’s only for rain and it’s always my go to app to check rains around Australia.

Bring back the old distance buttons

The new distance selection button is terrible! You have to click twice instead of once. What is the point?? Please change it back.

Bring back radar animations

5 Stars until radar animations were removed at the latest release. These are so important to know direction. Now 1 star unfortunately.

What happened?

This was the best rain radar but the new version is terrible still pictures of the current rain situation instead of a rolling is a step backwards..

Best weather radar around by far

This app has been a constant reliable source for up to date weather radar images for years! Since the BOM have recently ruined their web site, this app is now more important than ever. It’s also great to see it getting regular updates now to keep it on top of the BOM screwing everything up. Well done!

Glad You’re Working Again

I’ve been using this wonderful app for years! Sorry the BOM jerked you around when they redesigned their dreadful website recently. Keep up the good work.

Still the best

It’s been my goto since it was written forever ago. It still seems to be the easiest for me to interpret. Others try to look prettier - or smoother, but that doesn’t help.

Thankyou to the developer! Full credit :)

Thanks

I’m so grateful you’re chasing the ios26 bug. This is my only and fav radar app and have used it for years and years. So pleased you’re still supporting it. Well done.
