We use Bureau of Meteorology forecasts, Weatherzone's high-resolution Opticast model and our meteorologists to produce accurate forecasts for Australia and the world.
We are also an internationally award-winning weather app as recognised by the World Meteorological Organization (an agency of the UN) picking up 3 awards in 2020 for quality of weather information, warnings and user interface. This reinforces our passion and commitment to developing weather apps that people can rely on wherever they go.

– Brisbane City Council Early Warning Alert –
Brisbane City Council has partnered with Weatherzone to provide Brisbane residents with free severe weather alerts. The alerts are location-based, so you only receive warnings if you may be impacted.

Lightning is detected by the Weatherzone Total Lightning Network (http://business.weatherzone.com.au/products/total-lightning/). This is the most advanced lightning detection network in Australia. Lightning data displayed for consumers is delayed by up to 10minutes.
– Where does our data come from? –
Our data is sourced from a variety of sources including our own lightning detection network, in house forecast models and the Bureau of Meteorology. More details can be found here: http://business.weatherzone.com.au/science-and-technology/information-sources/

Great, accurate app!
Nov 15, 2015 Love this app! I work outside with horses & it is imperative that I know what the weather is up to. It has great insights thanks to using the BOM weather. It even tells me what the pollen is up to. If your looking for an easy to use, informative app for weather in Australia then look no further. I only wish it would notify you of weather alerts issued for your area. It does however show them. I just have to keep checking back.more -
Apr 9, 2021 Good app, nice layout and good info......but, getting charged every month is a bit of an ask. And if I'm paying monthly for a weather app then the rain radar function needs some work. Very patchy. -
Apr 9, 2021 Great scope of information, but details differ slightly from the BoM app. But i don't know if that is good or bad in terms of update frequency, etc. -
Apr 17, 2021 Excellent weather app and I love the dynamic radar view. Can be a little buggy ironically, buggy mostly due to the ad content not refreshing properly -
Apr 20, 2021 Overall really good. Does go blank sometimes and crashes for no apparent reason. But it has all info I look for easily at hand.
-
Apr 12, 2021 The app is slow, frequent "not responding" messages. I like the app as such, if only it did what it is supposed to do in a speedy responsive manner. I contacted the developer as requested but did not get a reply at this stage. -
Apr 4, 2021 Very average app these days. It is cluttered and the ads throughout ruin it. I just upgraded from my old Samsung S8 and miss the old paid version of the app that I used to have. The newer version sucks! Hope it gets a makeover as I am looking for a new weather app without the clutter.more -
Bring back the weather app!
Sep 1, 2020 Just awful. This used to be Australia’s best weather app by far, and I paid for premium because I loved it so much. It was just PERFECT. Two years ago it changed and now it puts photos in the foreground with weather as a secondary feature. Is this a weather app or a photography app? Can’t stand it.more -
Apr 6, 2021 Not acurate. Full of ads now. Had it for years. Paid for it originally so it had no ads but now it does. Looking for something better. Shouldnt be hard now. -
high res pictures instead of weather info
Feb 25, 2020 It’s such a good thing to use all my data, on a slow connection, to download high-res pictures of my current location instead of showing actual weather information. Smart move right there. Meh...

Apr 2, 2021 working great just trying to get composite radar working The way I'm used to in the old Pro version getting better All the time. Keeps getting better all the time. -
Apr 3, 2021 Very accurate weather information, it's the best app I have found and I have tried quite a number. It has the most updated information, and is easy to use. -
Fancy Weather app
Jul 9, 2017 It gives you so much information other than just weather. Super easy to read and understand and great little video clip to watch. I love joining them on their Facebook account to have my pictures being used for the background when looking up what the weather will be like. 😃more -
Yes, for users in Australia
Sep 26, 2015 I'm on vacation in Tasmania and found that none of the weather apps on my phone worked for this part of Australia, so I went in search of an app specific to Australia. This is the most comprehensive weather app I have ever used, it is nothing short of amazing. I wish my US weather apps had this much functionality!more

Apr 4, 2021 It's slow to load and update. I've emailed about another issue and have had no reply. Prefered weatherzone+. -
What happened to the zoom feature?
Jan 10, 2015 This used to be a good app but now they've taken away the ability to zoom right in on your local area. It only allows you to choose state as a zoom option and you're not able to drill down very far to get the details you need on your area. Hopefully they will fix this issue in their next update.more -
Apr 8, 2021 Good app but the radar is zoomed in too much and can't see all of the state (Tasmania)

Clunky interface
Jan 19, 2021 After Weather Jelly closed down its app, I thought I’d try this. There’s too many screens to move through to get a quick at-a-glance screen. Needs to be more condensed, with less clicks to get the info I want. -
Apr 16, 2021 To many ad's, and when you try to exit out of the radar it goes to more ad's. It used to be good, but now very average. -
Went from fully paid to subscription only
Dec 31, 2019 Sorry, won’t be held hostage, to keep ads away. There is now much more choice in the market for these apps. -
Something wrong w/ this app
Feb 21, 2020 Can’t access app
What’s Groovy
I’ve found this a very helpful app on both the iPhone and iPad. It packs a lot of information into a clear format. It’s also more graphically appealing than some of the other weather apps I’ve tried.

What’s Subpar
paid for this app, then they stopped updating it and started a new store entity... no now im forced to look at ads as well as poor functionality that keeps warning me about sheep? one star. also note, don't suggest a subscription like you did to everyone else you took the money and ran from... our payment was for lifetime updates and this app is still living...

Love this app!
Very accurate and dependable. When my partner is overseas I can monitor the weather at their location and send them accurate and important notifications when needed! Easy to use and maneuver around through. Highly recommend! -
Best weather app in Oz
Most accurate weather forecast app. My friend has a different one that never is as accurate. Great layout, easy to read, and changes based on your location, genius! -
A quick and intelligent weather overview
I had a local app that couldn't find my city! This app from the other side of the globe found it instantly. Such is the world we live in. -
After years of using this app I have found the temperature/radar/storm/flood warnings are highly accurate and always give enough time to seek cover. I recommend this app. (Recently with an update there was an issue that was fixed within an hour - first glitch I've noticed in years).

Great function and much prefer this layout to the iOS one. Could make the forecast text higher contrast to be easier to read
-
For users in Australia?
A very comprehensive weather app, but I live outside of NYC and it doesn't understand where I am, when trying to select 'my location'. It does understand 'New York City', but that is not close enough for a weather forecast.
-

was happy until increasing subscription by more than 100%
it was ok but just had my subscription increased. -
Its a good app, but i upgraded to pro for $5.99 a month, still get adds, or any of the pro features, this is the second time ive tried, RIPPED OFF AGAIN. They fixed my problem, and it was working well, would have given it five stars, but the last few days it has been terrible, it hangs up, is slow, so frustrating. I notice there was an update on the 22 Feb 2021, I wonder why things have gone belly up again.

Where’s the sunset times????? -
I remember paying for plus now I got the ad ridden rubbish version, I paid outright you discontinued the plus version and now offer a subscription, that sucks.
-
Why can I no longer turn off the stupid photo panel? I want weather information, not random data wasting photos. And the "news" articles at the bottom? Where did that utter garbage come from? Had to side-load an older version of Weatherzone to remove this junk and use Blokada to block the ads! Edit: already in contact with support and they couldn't fix anything.
