✓ Great appPreviously I had an App called Rain? It was great. Then one day they stuffed it up busy replacing the radar images with something that looked like a crayon drawing on your screen. So I deleted it. This app brings back the original maps from BOM to your iOS device. I am happy to pay the small amount to get it. Seems to also have wind too.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Yah!Update: new version is even better The BOM radar is excellent. I once used the web version to replace our roof while it was raining, cause I could tell basically how much time we had for incoming rain patches. Been waiting for this App cause the BOM animated radar doesn't work too well on iPhone. I guess the dev felt the same way. Thank you so much. Note: the app is a front end for the Australian Federal Government Beauru of Meterology website, rain radar. It is limited to BOM's limits, (to explain the Hobart issue) and not every point in Australia is covered full time. Complain to the federal government if this app has made you aware that your location is not monitored to your standards..Version: 0
✓ Great potential, but obsolete due to time delay...This is a great app to have a reliable 'mobile' reference tool, especially when coastal weather reports are never accurate! That said, it claims to be the 'most recent radar maps', but they are 10 hours old? It makes the functionality absolutely benign... here's hoping updates will change this, or is it just my iPhone? K.Version: 0
✓ Outdoors Enthusiast ? get this APP now!If your an outdoors enthusiast get this APP now! At work today a guy was looking at the sky and said.....looks like we might get some rain, I took out the iPhone and showed him the BOMRader and his eyes popped out :) told him we WILL get rain in about 1 hour, and we did. Thank you ZethosOrg for a great APP.Version: 0
✓ The bestThis is the best australian radar app I have ever seen. You can pinch/zoom so the suburb labels are a readable font size and you can enable major roads and rivers to aid in finding small towns that are not labeled on the map. It can also simply find and display the nearest radar instead of requiring you to search through the entire alphabetical list like some other apps..Version: 2.0.4
✓ GreatExtremly accurate! A must get!.Version: 0
✓ Great, but needs a new feature.This app is amazing and my mum absolutely loves it. I think that if you added an option to show you current location on the map, so if I was looking at the Melbourne radar, I could then press a button and it would show me exactly where I was, just like in maps. If you did this I would recommend this app to heaps of my friends. Thankyou. But overall, a great app..Version: 0
✓ You beauty!Exactly what I needed! Works as advertised!.Version: 0
✓ AwesomeWhen is this going to be made for the United States?.Version: 0
✓ Brilliant App for pilots!!THANKS A MILLION for your BOM radar app. I am an airline pilot and find it incredible useful to quickly have a look at the radar picture for our destination while sitting in the flight deck during a quick turnaround and there is simply no time get off the airplane to access a computer terminal. Well done, and I can tell you that I have showed this app to several other pilots and it has been the last convincing argument they needed to go and get an iPhone for themselves!! Thanks again - your work is a real contribution to improve flight safety..Version: 0
✓ Great application, accurate, worth the moneySuper application, I use it all the time. I'm able to check the weather to see if it's raining or if the rain is coming and I can get the clothes off the line before the rain hits. It's very useful especially to see if there is any rain about before I decide to do my washing. I use it to check the sydney/wollongong area for weather updates. It updates the rain radar every 10 mins or so. Worth the money!!.Version: 0
✓ Exactly what I've been looking for . . . .This app has just what I've been after. I have other weather apps with radar but the colours are different to the BOM site which I am accustomed to using. Also, I love that I can add my most commonly used radar to the favourites and then in settings, make it so that when I click on the favourites button, it opens my top favourite. Unlike my other app where I have to navigate to my home radar from the beginning of the app each time. The only thing is the radar map is quite small for my old eyes. Perhaps I need to move to an iPad LOL.Version: 1.1.14
✓ Great AppThis is a great app, I really like the gps dot, gives a better idea of the coming weather. Any chance you could add an address finder to plot a location other than your current location?.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Love the red location dot!!This is such a handy little app and it's easy to use. I use it all the time to see if I should put the soft top up on the car or not. The new red dot that shows your exact current location is amazing! It takes the guess work out of knowing where you are on the radar. Can't fault this app at all :).Version: 2.0.1
✓ CoolThis app. is ridiculously hot, but what about the U.S. ? N.Y. baby ! !.Version: 0
✓ Really impressedYou're right, Safari doesn't cope well with BoM radar pages & this fits the bill perfectly in my opinion. Easier to view radar maps than in Safari ... and it is priced right too.Version: 0
✓ Still the best bom radar appSo simple and easy to use. Please keep updating!.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Awesome!I love this app! I check it several times a day living in Darwin. So handy. Only gripe is with the new upgraded version of having to go into your state and city every time you start it up. Last version just automatically went to the last place you checked. Still love it but! Five stars from me!!.Version: 0
✓ CoolOh yeah, it's really nice, unusual! As an Aussie this is good to see what happening back home. Bit slow in loading the images but still worth having. Sorry for the Kath & Kim reference ;).Version: 0
✓ Perfect for outside workersI've been used to checking the BOM radar from the office in the mornings. This interface means I get to see things any time of the day. It just needs to parse the forecasts so i can finally get rid of that yahoo weather app. Thanks for a great app..Version: 0
✓ Great software, one suggestion....This is great, especially for us Motorcyclists. Just one thing, can you consider putting the Canberra Radar under the state ACT? We know the Canberra Radar is at Captains Flat NSW, however people still reference, Canberra by the ACT. Thanks Chris.Version: 0
✓ One of the best Rockhampton-bred iPhone Apps aroundSeriously, tho, latest version is fantastic! Good to check on the way to the golf course but being radar, of course, it only shows where it is raining. Not where it's about to rain. Realised that the hard way. My fault tho, not the app.Version: 0
✓ No complaints here.One of my most frequently used quick reference apps. It was playing up for a bit but the latest update has fixed that..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Well worth the $Application is quick and easy to use; fantastic when trying to decide wether or not to go on a fishing trip on those days when you just can't tell. I got this when it was a freebie (12 odd months ago) so it was a great little find, but I'd still happily pay for it if I wasn't so fortunate knowing what I do now..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentThis app has saved my cars from hail damage a number of times now. I check it out all the time and see when the storms are coming giving me enough time to get the cars up to the undercover parking at the shopping centre! Thanks :).Version: 0
✓ Brilliant, almost perfectI have had this app for some years and it has only got better. It is now almost perfect! If it would provide the option of displaying wind speed in knots then it would have achieved perfection. Regardless, it is absolutely brilliant. Thanks..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Fantastic AppThis is a Fantastic Weather Radar app. Thank you soo much for building it, to use BOM data. Well worth installing. I look at radars all the time at BOM Website. Now I can see it wherever I am..Version: 0
✓ CoolThis is great and I suspect the next update will make it even better. It does take a whilst to load even on a WIFI network, almost too long to load. Would be great if you could zoom in too, other than that it's great and I use it all the time. One other suggestion that would be cool would be a ticket tape or a tab where you can view any weather alerts / warnings, that would be cool. I look forward to the next update..Version: 0
✓ Missed itHave been using this App for a long time,then it disappeared pleased to say it is back happy to pay for it this time round.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Great resultThis app is quicker and therefore more responsive than the safari access. The zoom is instantaneous, not jerky as it is on safari and the full screen picture is much better. Wind, temp and rain indicators are good. Well worth the couple of dollars. Thanks mate. PS National cloud page would be good..Version: 0
✓ Latest version rocks !Fantastic new update with wind speed / direction, rainfall since 0900, current temp mashed over the map. Being able to set a favourites list is a great feature. Would like to be able to give this app 6 stars !.Version: 0
✓ AwesomeGreat app. Just what I was looking for. Would it be possible to have a pause after the last frame just like the BOM site? It's a minor thing, but it makes it much easier to spot the first/last frame without having to look at the times..Version: 0
✓ Give me the windAs a professional aviator and avid cyclist this is a grat iPhone application for a quick look at your local radar image. This should not be confused with the BOM service on a professional level however the addition of some Map Features most notably "Weather observations" that includes wind direction would help determine the direction I depart on my morning rides. Great app highly recommended at this price..Version: 0
✓ Food for thoughtI open this app up and look at it a few times a day. But the one thing it needs is to have a little blue dot telling me where I am. I love this app but it's not finished yet and please fix the crashes. I'm getting a little over it. If you don't have the money to get it done put ads in the app. I'll look at an ad for 5 seconds to see when a storm is coming right at me.Version: 1.1.19
✓ It's back!This app disappeared much to my dismay. It has returned bigger and better and even though it now costs $1.49, it is the best I have used..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Fantastic & reliableThis app and the navionics charts are a small boat owners dream come true. It gives you wind speed as well as rain. The latest update even tells you where you are on the screen. Handy if you travel out of home radar range.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Fantastic Application!Great app for Australia. If you disregard the bad ratings from shallow thinking yanks who believe the USA is the centre of the Universe, everyone gives this 5 stars. Great job..Version: 0
✓ Simple and still the bestIf you want simple rain and wind details, this is the app. It combines the wind directions on the rain radar and this makes all the difference. Synoptics and national radar is easy to access. Two thumbs up!.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Fantastic!Great app. Thanks for making this free. my only suggestion would be to add the full Australia veiw radar that BOM offers..Version: 0
✓ It's a beauty!Incredibly practical piece of application for anyone planning any outdoor activities eg. Cycling. One quick glance and the decision is made..Version: 0
✓ Australian Weather RadarEasy to use access to BOM weather radar by state and location. Works as a weather radar app, and is easier than accessing the BOM web site. Deleted because the more expensive Oz Weather provides additional weather report functions..Version: 0
✓ Cool appNice to seeb a free app with moving radar. First Review!!! This app is going to be huge!!.Version: 0
✓ Can't live without it!Just excellent. Thank you!.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Much betterI downloaded the original version but deleted it soon after because it was frustratingly slow and never seemed to be up to date. This version is fat better laid out, and much more polished. Hopefully the developers will be able to incorporate the BOM's forecasting into future versions. Then it would the ultimate (and most accurate) Australian weather app..Version: 0
✓ BOM app is win!I have had BOM radar in my bookmarks for a year or so now, iphone app is wicked! goes hand in hand with my surf report app. btw, Melbourne radar has been down for a while now, its not the app, its the actual BOM radar, i cant access it on my home PC wither..Version: 0
✓ Needs Location ServicesPlease consider adding location services and push notifications, so we can get a minutes warning before it starts to rain! This beats opening the web site though. Thanks.Version: 0
✓ SwishGoes straight to where you want to be without all the extraneous stuff. Is it going to rain? Is it going to stop? Will I leave home/work with a light spray jacket or a diving bell? Simple and to the point. A wishlist item would be to take advantage of the options on some of the enhanced radar locations (i.e. Doppler images) but that's not a criticism..Version: 0
✓ Worth every cent....er its freeThis is the most used piece of software. I have to rely on the weather and storm fronts coming through for work and this is spot on. The only problem I found ( if there was really anything to complain about ) is its a wee bit slow, but Im sure that might be fixed one day..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic!!!!I already loved this app but since the update all I can say is - WOW!!!! The features are perfect and I especially love the my current location red dot & the fact you can add on railway lines & roads. You have some very happy customers!!!!!!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Simple and SlickSimple, easy to use, with just the right about of features, including favourites menu and shows your location on radar map..Version: 2.0.1
