User Reviews

WillyWeather is widely praised for a clear interface and strong radar maps, with many users preferring it to BOM and valuing BOM data and planning tools. However, forecasts can be inconsistent, including location-specific errors, and some updates have reduced readability or made the UI harder to learn. Overall, it remains popular for planning and alerts, but accuracy consistency is a recurring concern.
Pros
  • Clear, easy-to-read and user-friendly interface.
  • Strong rain/radar maps and radar-related features.
  • Often considered better than BOM, with BOM data integration/added info.
  • Comprehensive planning information and helpful weather alerts.
  • Generally accurate weather info appreciated by many users.
Cons
  • Forecasts are often inaccurate or unreliable, including location-specific errors.
  • Readability can deteriorate after updates and new UI changes.
  • The layout and data presentation can be confusing (for example estimating vs real values).

Please remove dark view! It's too hard to distinguish between night and day.
