User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, accurate rain radar, and responsive developers, finding it handy for real-time weather checks around Australia. However, many are frustrated by intrusive ads that persist despite payment, inaccuracies in forecasts particularly with rain predictions and location relevancy, and limited radar interaction features like lack of pinch to zoom. Additional feature requests include widgets and enhanced weather data. Overall, the app is valued for its core functionality but could improve by addressing ads, forecast accuracy, and usability enhancements.

Pros

Simple, clear, and easy to navigate interface with good layout and usability.
Accurate and helpful rain radar with real-time updates and location-based features including GPS positioning.
Works well for quick checking of rain and weather near the user's location, improving planning especially for outdoor activities.
Prompt and responsive developers who address user issues and provide good support.
Reasonably priced with value for money, especially when ads are removed. Users find it better than official BOM website in terms of usability.

Cons

Persistent and intrusive ads, including audio ads early in the morning, even after users have paid to remove them.
Inaccuracy and issues with weather forecasts: sometimes showing weather from distant locations or unreliable rain forecasts.
Radar interaction limitations such as no pinch to zoom, slow loading times, and lack of intuitive map controls.
Some users desire additional features like widgets, tide charts, moon phases, synoptic charts, and better temperature info.
Map design issues such as wasted screen space, large location marker obstructing view, and no full screen mode for radar.

Still not working, uninstalled reinstalled still not working. There is no rain cloud movement. Everything is static. It used to work before updates. Waste of space on my phone.
