User Reviews

Overall, users praise BOM Weather for accurate information and its usefulness as a go-to weather app. They highlight a clean, at-a-glance interface with information on one screen and data richness (including satellite data). However, multiple reviewers report reliability issues, citing inaccurate or outdated data in some conditions and times when temperatures or forecasts don’t match reality. Some users also note performance problems after updates, such as UI glitches and slow loading. Despite these concerns, many still rate it highly for accuracy and usefulness.

Pros

Accurate and reliable weather information.
Clear, at-a-glance interface with information on a single screen.
Very useful and frequently used by users as their goto weather app.
Rich data features, including satellite data.

Cons

Inaccurate or outdated weather data in several conditions.
Performance issues after updates and slow loading / map performance.

Recent reviews

Far too slow. Always incorrect. Requires too much location data even if you opt out of precise information. The widget never works and takes up so much space with so little info. There is no reason to use this over the free Pixel Weather app except for the radar (which never works)....
