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 -
Nov 18, 2020 I've generally been very happy with this app. It's the first app I've actually paid for to remove ads. So I'm genuinely curious about the massive increase from $1.99 to $5.99 to keep the app ad-free for only another year. For no tangible *improvement* (judging by critical reviews and no noticeable improvement to my own eyes), a 200% increase in that price feels a bit rich.more -
Nov 30, 2020 Great app but the ads are a little egregious and I had to disable severe weather alerts as most of them are too far from my location to be relevant imomore -
Nov 13, 2020 Radar should be morspecific to your chosen location so you can see what weather is approaching more clearly. My zones are always on the cusp so therefore the weather approaching is barely visable. I have found this to be more apparent since renewing my phone and downloading the app....is this an updated version? My old phone's weatherzone app was far more consise.more -
Oct 30, 2020 Pretty good. The follow me setting for weather seems to always be for the neighbouring suburb, but the interface is pretty clear. My only gripe would be that I don't really want to see a huge weather photo, I'd rather see four or seven day forecast information in it's place rather than having to scroll for it. Edit: Dev, thanks for the reply! Good to know that configuration exists in the paid version 👍more

Nov 30, 2020 'No advert' subscription price has increased from $2 per year to $6. No explanation for the 300% increase. Will be moving to the greatly improved BoM app.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 -
Nov 28, 2020 Used to be an excellent free app that I had been using before it was ad-supported. Over time it has become slower, buggier and with far too many and far too intrusive (read: full screen) adverts. For an app that for the most part just scrapes data from BOM the amount for ads has become a bit rich - blatent profiteering. Will be using BOM's own app from now on (which I found pleasantly excellent after all these years!)more -
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...more -
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.more

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 -
Love this app!
Mar 3, 2016 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!more -
Best weather app in Oz
Sep 30, 2014 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!more

Nov 15, 2020 Have always enjoyed this app but recently it is taking forever to open or update. Not sure whether this is an app or phone issue. Did not previously have any problems. I have a Samsung S10+ and as far as I'm aware, everything is up to date.more

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 -
Nov 1, 2020 Disappointed. The app itself works fine. Sometimes out by 2-4 degrees but not very often. I am disappointed that the main screen had a TAB gambling ad as the background. In what way does that relate to the weather? A small ad at the top as Weather Zone usually does would have been fine but the background is ridiculous. Quite disappointed by this.more -

Nov 4, 2020 Way to many ads! I get it's a free version so you expect some ads but getting full screen ads while using the app is not on. I could put up with the temperamental radar function and unresponsive close buttons but not the damn ads... I'm referring to full screen video ads that make it impossible to view weather forecasts. And why is it the apple versions has less intrusive than the Android version?!more
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
I was happy to support add free in the past. Now they have tripped the price with little to no improvement over the last year. Its now not worth the money. I have cancelled my subscription and am moving on to the BOM app.

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. -
Like the information and how it is presented. It is taking too long to load. The information on a screen being viewed shifts as other things are loaded elsewhere in the app. The daily max & min on the graph are not the same until the next day as recorded at the top of that page. Perhaps it could be updated during the day.
-
Great Aussie Weather App
The interface is good, easy to read and the 48 hour graph of temperature is helpful. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is a bit annoying to add new cities, but I don't do that often. -
Great for local weather
Much better than basic Apple weather app with reports in your local township rather than just major cities. -
Well made
The information in the app is clear and concise. The radar image is of good quality and design. Overall this is a well made app.

Disappointing. This use to be a once off lifetime fee. Then they "re-developed" the app and it changed to subscription based. I hate subscriptions based products, but on $1.99 a year i could deal with that. Now all of a sudden its $5.99, that's an overnight triple in price! I guess i'll move onto something free before it becomes $20 a year

This version is not as good as the old version. In the old version the national radar showed lightning. You couldn't see exactly where the lightning was, but in the general area; i.e. around Karratha area. This version the information is cluttered and to busy
-
The app is great when it works, however in the past year or so, the app has begun to crash frequently all due to bloated ads. I can barely run the radar anymore without crashes and even the main screen crashes when ads are loading. I understand you need to make money, but when ads are causing my app to run like garbage, it shows your profits are more important than your customer's experience which is highly concerning.
-
Poor experience as a result of ads. Different size ads force the screen to resize all the time. Plus always getting directed to ad sponsor's websites when clicking on control buttons in the app (not on ads)... no doubt a dodgy way to pump up their click through rates and engagement stats. Instead of focusing on short-term profit, how about focusing on creating value for users as a path to long-term, sustainable ROI for your shareholders?

Used to be an excellent free app that I had been using before it was ad-supported. Over time it has become slower, buggier and with far too many and far too intrusive (read: full screen) adverts. For an app that for the most part just scrapes data from BOM the amount for ads has become a bit rich - blatent profiteering. Will be using BOM's own app from now on (which I found pleasantly excellent after all these years!)

Went from fully paid to subscription only
Sorry, won’t be held hostage, to keep ads away. There is now much more choice in the market for these apps. -
Way to many ads! I get it's a free version so you expect some ads but getting full screen ads while using the app is not on. I could put up with the temperamental radar function and unresponsive close buttons but not the damn ads... I'm referring to full screen video ads that make it impossible to view weather forecasts. And why is it the apple versions has less intrusive than the Android version?!

Something wrong w/ this app
Can’t access app -
It’s okay
Where’s the sunset times????? -
Was good....until the widget decided to take up an extra row of space for no apparent reason. The widget used to be 5x1 sized but is now 5x2, yet looks identical to before. This means my home screen now has unusable dead-space above and below the widget where I can't place anything else. Why?

upgraded the app for the first time in years. Painful enough that it takes forever to open and the most un-aesthetic photo that hurts your eyes has been selected as the main background. That is replaced with a full page TAB ad promoting animal abuse/horseracing, and also obsures the most of the weather details anyway. Are you f-ing serious?!?! Uninstalling.... appalling in every aspect!!

Subscription increasing by 300%? no thanks, I'll go for something less gready. I love the response to another pissed off customer "we know it might not be popular but you can still use the ad version". That is so laughably out of touch. That price hike will certainly need. to make up for the lost customer base. And, no, I probably won't be using your app again. BTW. Get my name right weatherdrone.

What happened to the weatherzone+ app? Suddenly getting notifications that it was built for an older version of Android. Now after checking, I can see it lacking many of the features the new app has. I understand you've shifted to a subscription model now, but it makes sense to give access to early supporters with the + app. Please get in touch.
