BOM Weather App Reviews

i've had several different weather apps over the years. This one I find most accurate although we don't have a weather station here. It's over in Grafton that receives a lot of rain. It misses us most of the time so it's difficult to get an accurate weather reading for ILUKA alone even though we are just across the river. I watch the radar on this app your app that's the only way I can see if it's actually going to rain here, hope that makes sense. I wish we had one here where the station just f

Great app. Very easy to use. Very similar to the AccuWeather app but this relates to Australia.

Great app for weather forecasts especially even where

Provides fundamental weather info but without all that much detail. In particular, it doesn’t really give much info about humidity and dew point, so it’s not a great guide to how uncomfortable it feels in Brisbane.

Great app, but it needs an update to read the orientation of the device and not just assume a constant orientation. I use my iPad in an inverted orientation so I can have the charger cable at the top of the screen not digging into my stomach. This simple fix would make this app a 5 star app.

Pro tip: make sure you have “precise location“ turned on or the widget won’t work properly. Otherwise great!

Flash floods can be a big problem in the Australia’s Northern Territory and Uluru gets the spectacular lightning storms and same does in Alice Springs and be safe to watch at the Ayers Rock Resort village in Yulara and so many trees are attracted to lightning strikes. And do not swim or boating in the water in places of Australia when the water conducts electricity when lightning strikes. Lightning is one of the most powerful forces of nature. I love watching lightning storms.

It's really nice to be able to cycle through the "confidence level" of the rain predictions. Most times I just want to know what's likely to happen, but sometimes when you make plans you need to know if there's any chance at all of rain.

Raining in Sydney all day while the app shows cloudy/sunny, and “50% chance of at least 0 mm” - does that make sense to anyone? Humidity today is ~90% while the app shows 46%. Such gross inaccuracies are very common in my experience. Too much development effort on security/updates and so little remains for the point of it all?

Although it’s a great app showing weather of different locations in Australia, the app crashes at least several times daily on my iPad Pro, please fix this bug ASAP 😤
