Australia Weather Radar Widget
Free, no ads, light on system resources, and easy to use. What more could you want? ;)
NOTE: This is a widget. After install, go into your apps list, select the 'widgets' tab (not 'apps'), and add a widget of type 'BOM radar'. After configuration hold on the widget to enter resize mode, the widget can be resized to any dimensions.
PERMISSIONS: Network access to load the images. Play store billing for (optional) IAP donate function. Device start notification so it can start the alarm to update the widget.
This is not an official BOM app
- it's a fan-made widget.
To come in future versions:
- UI overhaul. I know it's very bare-bones at the moment, but you don't need to use it after you setup the widget as the image is the only UI you see regularly.

Awesome! ...but needs an update. Android says it is using a lot of battery & on restart the images don't load occasionally. (I would PAY for this widget!)
really like this widget but unfortunatley it stopped working once the andriod one UI came out for my samsung phone. needs an update if possible,
love this app, but it needs an update, as has issues loading on restarting your phone.
Widget is now broken for android11, will not update anymore. Had to uninstall sadge.
Needs updating as android says it must shut down as it is using too much power.
Widget is constantly not showing updated weather in Townsville
No longer working with android 10 update
works as described, nice to see the radar at a glance.
Useless. I have added this so called Widget to my phones homescreen and all it does it show a very small 'radar'. I was looking for something that allows me to select my city and display the current temperature. Clicking on the "widget" opens the Bom (non mobile friendly) page. Better off to install the official Bom weather app.
Widget doesn't work. Installs and sizes correctly but after an hour or two stops working and just shows a cloud picture
Seriously, I have no idea why every OS doesn't include this standard.
For 4 years now, the widget still crashes within 24hrs. Use BARRY, it works heaps better.
Just installed this widget. Perfect, exactly what I'm after. Love that it's re-sizable, so you can choose how much real estate it takes up.
You can only pick areas in Australia. Worthless.
Hard to tell if it is any good as unable to select image of anything smaller than entire country. Now widget fails to open! Deleted, reloaded, still useless for Hobart
Useless won't even work
Great if it worked all the time
My phone wouldn't put it in the widget list. Stayed as an app, restarted phone several times. Maybe I'm just stupid. I wanted a BOM widget too, bugger. Android 4.2.2, Huawei Y511-U251
Will not go past settings, about, donate!
Needs to be updated. No longer refreshes rendering it useless
Can you please add the Melbourne Airport back up radar as Melbourne's main radar is closed until early October
Brilliant widget.Weather at a glance. Getting the widget image to display on smartwatch would be great goal for future.
To all those that want a international radar go elsewhere this is a truly great Aussie one
Need to able to see the backup radar from broadmeadows in melb as the other is getting an upgrade
Great app, thanks developer!
A good no fuss one touch widget that gets ya straight to the Aussie BOM.....FORD POWER ;-)
An excellent widget. I have used it for over a year. I have it twice - once for my State SA (adjustable size) and on the next page a full country view.
