User Reviews

Users praise BOM Weather for being easy to use and good for Australian location coverage, with some reviews noting it handles forecasts across multiple locations and resembles familiar apps. However, recurring concerns center on data accuracy and humidity details: some reports indicate local data gaps and overall forecast inaccuracies, while humidity/dew point data is lacking or unreliable. A few users also report stability issues (crashes) and frustration with forced updates. Overall, the app appears user-friendly with broad location support, but accuracy and data depth remain key areas for improvement.
Pros
  • Easy to use / user-friendly interface
  • Great app for weather forecasts
  • Covers weather for multiple locations in Australia
Cons
  • Inaccurate forecasts / local data gaps
  • Humidity and dew point data missing or unreliable
  • Stability issues (crashes) and update friction

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 for a Luca. thank you for the good radar anyway :-)

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?

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.
