### 2/5 — Buggy as hell

*2017-04-04, version 2.0.0*

The problem that I have with this version is that
1.  If you click on a favourite it gets stuck "loading data"
2. It only stores 3 favourites
3. No landscape mode

### 4/5 — Good update

*2017-03-27, version 2.0.0*

Very nice looking update and easy to use. I would however like to see more than 3 favourites as I live close to or visit 5 different lakes. Much faster than the old version too.

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-03-22, version 2.0.0*

Nice to see the app updated after 6 years of inactivity (?!)
App is quick, and stylistically in keeping with BOM weather app. But why oh why is there no sharing options???! I wanna be able to quickly share a favourited storage site. Add that for the fifth star!

### 4/5 — Great app but needs updating PLEASE

*2016-09-24, version 1.1*

Great ap, but has never been updated to the larger screen size and has the nsw central coast dams missing. Can you guys please update this, it's a brilliant app that needs TLC.

### 3/5 — Weather App

*2014-08-13, version 1.1*

Although we all need water, this app is quite irrelevant to a lot of people, how about a dedicated BOM Weather app? That would be awesome.

### 1/5 — BEHIND THE TIMES

*2014-02-18, version 1.1*

Dam heights are WEEKS old. They need to be live, otherwise what is the point of the ap!

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2014-01-27, version 1.1*

No support for IOS7 for iPhone 5S

### 2/5 — 2 days behind

*2014-01-03, version 1.1*

This app is 2 day behind, Melbourne Waters App is up to date.... What is the point of this app?

### 1/5 — Missing information

*2013-04-06, version 1.1*

Previously there was information on all the dams in the country. Now all I see is the total water storage for all of Australia.
Fleetingly, on opening, the App gives a glimpse of what used always to be available. I have tried reinstalling numerous times, but always it is the same: just total national water storage. Maybe it's just my old iPad; maybe it is the App itself.
I am hoping this is a bug that will be fixed.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2013-03-18, version 1.1*

The app is great. Just need an iPad version and a weather forecast app.

### 3/5 — Update more often!

*2012-07-09, version 1.1*

I like this app, but there hasn't been an update on the Melbourne water storages for nearly two weeks now... What gives??

### 2/5 — Review

*2012-03-02, version 1.1*

Great idea but terribly behind (days) with updates!! Wouldn't bother

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — All states would be helpful.

*2021-09-28, version 2.0.0*

Not all states or water storages are included.
Hume, Eildon
Missing from Victoria.
WA, NT and Tasmania missing.
No point having it now.

### 1/5 — Info out of date

*2020-02-13, version 2.0.0*

Best to go online for latest dam/water levels as this app is never up to date.

### 1/5 — Formerly useful, now not working

*2019-11-15, version 2.0.0*

This app no longer works. When opened you get the message “Loading”. However, no data ever loads. Furthermore, the feedback sections will not send the message.

In this time of severe drought and concerns over water, it would be helpful if this formerly useful app still worked.

### 1/5 — Mmmm

*2019-06-29, version 2.0.0*

Is this working I site loading for 15min with no data on screen , re installed it 5 times ???

### 1/5 — Information not updated

*2018-03-10, version 2.0.0*

The information on dam closest to me is 2 weeks old!

### 1/5 — Not so flash

*2017-09-10, version 2.0.0*

The old app was great. I've had no luck with this one. Can only have three favourite dam sites. It frequently locks up. Nowhere near as friendly as the old app.

### 1/5 — Where's the favourites list gone!

*2017-03-29, version 2.0.0*

I use the app to keep track of water levels in my local area. Now the favourites list is gone! Please bring it back how it was!

### 1/5 — Where are my favourites gone!!!

*2017-03-23, version 2.0.0*

I liked the app the way it was...bring back my favourites list- I select them and it only shows the last 3😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Level updates

*2016-06-26, version 1.1*

The app in not updated regularly enough shouldn't be 4 days off needs to be more current don't see why it can't be updated within 24 hours!

### 1/5 — Why? Why you do this?

*2014-09-25, version 1.1*

Worked flawlessly with iOS7. Now can no longer navigate on the screen whatsoever. 

Makes it impossible to use anything in this app. 

Also correct scaling for iPhone 5 screen would be n

### 5/5 — The best app ever super accurate dam levels

*2020-03-10*

Super good I mean extremely extraordinary that’s your app to me 

Thanks for your dam levels

### 5/5 — Quality update

*2017-03-26, version 2.0.0*

Great update. (Very long overdue however). Styling is greatly improved and much easier to interpret.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-03-22, version 2.0.0*

Totally invaluable water tracking resource. Very well designed since latest update... thanks BOM you've done a great job

### 5/5 — It's Dam Good!

*2014-07-16, version 1.1*

This app is the most riveting   app I have ever encountered. Unfortunately I have neglected both my marriage and children due to my never ending search for the elusive ninety-five-percenter. No longer do I need to wade hopefully through dam after dam equipped with my ruler, snorkel, night vision equipment and family. I can now confidently keep my log books and personal almanac up to date from the relative comfort of my basement.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-06-13, version 1.1*

This is one of my favorite apps.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2013-02-13, version 1.1*

This app is very easy to use, great layout and simply the best.

Im very surprised that a public service can develop such an app. Keep up the good work. 

Love to see BOM's own app for weather forecast?

### 5/5 — Way cool

*2012-06-13*

Whoever thought of this understands that the future is coming. Good work.

### 5/5 — Great app but....

*2012-06-07, version 1.1*

Needs retina

### 5/5 — Well done BOM

*2012-02-24, version 1.1*

Sometimes a little behind with the level updates; BUT great App..!

### 5/5 — Water Storage

*2011-11-28, version 1.1*

Perfectly made app, never a glitch or bug. Really good.
