The recent loss of forecasting seems to have been fixed now, but I suspect this was BOM reverting their data format rather than the developer of this app doing anything as they have still not responded to the support ticket I logged on their website. So be warned: this app may break again and there might not be anyone go fix it.
This works great on my HTC One M8. I was pleased to see that it is actually accurate. It updates to within a few minutes of the time you refresh it at, and it does it quickly. Lots of detail and settings to choose from. Can't vouch for way out country areas, but I travel around Wollongong/West Sydney areas and I've had no problems with it so far. I really like it.
This was a good enough app that did the job, but doesn't always refresh to the current day and forecast. This wasn't a big deal when I could manually refresh it, but my new phone (s5) doesn't have a built in menu key and there is none in the app. So I have no way to manually refresh and sometimes my forecast is up to a week behind. Disappointing.
Thanks for the years of great use. It is a shame that you gave up on the app. I have spent the last 3 weeks looking for something to replace it and there is nothing that came close to what your app provided in layout, user interface and preferences. Please come back, do a paid app and I will buy it for sure.
BEST EVER weather app and far clearer to read than the new BoM app. I just read that your app stops on 21 March which is such a shame. I'll especially miss the Extremes since midnight section. I'll have to search for a new weather app as too many are too pretty. Yours was the best being very clear and straight forward to read. Sorry to see you go. Thanks
This is my favourite weather app. Compact, clear and accurate. It also has a compact and informative widget for current summary information. I am beyond devastated that it is being discontinued. I've tried many others and none have the sleek, easy to use interface, and require too many unnecessary permissions. Hail and farewell, Weather Australia!
As others have said the forecast is now a week out of date. I emailed the makers of the app last Friday, but haven't even received a response. Don't bother downloadong this app, it seems it isn't being supported. I would recommend weatherzone instead which also has some great widgets.
The best I've found. There are no fancy, useless charts to drain data and the info updates faster than the other apps. The temperature also reads very accurate. If you want all the basic weather data, without the bling, this is the app for you. Sorry to see it go, was my favourite, by far! BOM has lots to live up to.
On second thoughts I will delete this app. The chance of rainfall given is a number plucked out of thin air and bears no resemblance to BoM figures. The current weather information is frequently over 30 minutes out of date. Do yourself a favour and give this app a miss. A web browser and the BoM website is all you need.
This was one of my favourite apps, but I've removed my 5 star rating due to the app no longer updating the forecast. The forecast is stuck on the week starting Wednesday 9th December. If this isn't fixed soon, I'm going to have to find another weather app.
I've had this app on my new phone for about a year thought it was great up until a few months ago. It started by getting stuck when updating, it would keep saying please wait updating but wouldn't completed until you tap the screen and since the 9th the 7 day forcast has been stuck and now won't up date at all. I hope these issues get fixed soon...
Like so many others my forecast is stuck on Wednesday December 9. Makes it basically unworkable. Surely you guys know about this and can fix it! Before would have rated 4 stats but only negativing now coz of the screw up.
Home page hasn't updated since 23/03/15 Works in all other towns but not here 😢 Will have to find an alternative for my home town, used to be good but no more.All other pages (radar,forecast etc) work but home page won't Update home page is still showing 23/03/15 after uninstalling again. So have uninstalled and wont bother any more
I am so sad, this app was one of the very first apps i downloaded when I got a touch phone. It has been 100% spot on, simple widget, easy to read tiny footprint and never any issues. Thanks Aaron....
Great app. Been using this for years to quickly access BOM.gov.au forecasts, but now that BOM has their own app, this is being phased out later in March 2017. Sad that this is happening, but just want to give a big THANK YOU to the developers for their work.
Over the past few days the app has stopped updating the forecast in the overview and forecast tabs. I have tried clearing data and reinstalling and still nothing. This has been a great app up until now, but will have to remove if no longer working.
Sad to see this app is wrapping up. I hope you send the code for your widget to BoM - they need help there. Thanks for being one of three weather apps on my device (yours for widget, GO Weather for dynamic background and BoM for accuracy). 5Star finale!
Samsung galaxy s4 had lollipop update a week back- more I continuously get "radar currently unavailable". A quick laptop check of the bom site shows the rain radar is functioning- please fix if this is an issue. And other s4 android lollipop users have the radar issue?
I love this widget and have had no probs with it until recently. Having the same issue as others with weather stuck on 9 December. Have opened a support ticket on your website but havent heard anything back as yet. 17/12/15 - Also have emailed the developer. Would easily give 5 stars if it wasnt broke :( UPDATE 17/12/15 - issue is fixed - thanks guys :)
