Sep 15, 2020 Too cluttered. The old one was better. Hate the adds. If I could download the old version I would. I still have it on my tablet and prefer it.more -
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 -
Sep 18, 2020 This is my second weather app that I've ever bought, ive been using this for quite some time and I like the widgets, layout it decent and the radar maps is good.more -
Sep 14, 2020 Excellent! Generally OK, but understandably sometimes forecast differs from actual weather conditions at a local level.more -
Sep 10, 2020 I find this app great when organising a game of golf or any other outdoor activities. This app was great during the recent extreme weather we had over the last 10 months of 2019 /2020 drought,fires, & floodsmore

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 -
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 -
Sep 12, 2020 Functionality of the app works well but the forecast on a number of occasions has been totally wrong and almost the opposite of what was predicted.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 -

For users in Australia?
Apr 10, 2015 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.more -
Great Aussie Weather App
Nov 16, 2014 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.more

Aug 11, 2020 RE: Your subscription will change from $1.99/year to $5.99/year on Sep 10, 2020. To continue your subscription at the new price, tap Agree. Wow that's a 201.005% increase in the price of the subscription! Pray tell us, will you be providing a similar increase in the provision of your application and service? Perhaps you could guarantee a sunny day on my birthday? That would be nice. Whilst I appreciate the offer to continue my subscription albeit at this higher amount, but with no obvious explanation for the exorbitant increase, I will have to respectfully decline. I wish you all the best & see you at the BOM.more -
Aug 17, 2020 Very comprehensive weather report but, the interface is a bit too crowded and, the ads obviously make it worse, which might be intentional. I would be happy to pay for an ad-free version if their purchase options were a bit more reasonable. For what I get and what's on the store, I I think charging an annual subscription of $6 for just removing the ads is way too expensive. Uninstalled and went back to BOM's official app. I really miss our beloved Pocket Weather though - RIP.more -
Aug 15, 2020 REVIEW UPDATE: Fixed this issue by uninstall / reinstall. REVIEW UPDATE: Is there any reason why this App occupies 10.04GB of memory? Seems excessive to me. How do I fix? ORIGINAL REVIEW: Been using this app over several years now. The chance of rain versus time of day chart is great for planning my cycling commutes, although it can err on the cautious side a bit.more -
Jul 13, 2020 App: 4.5/5, customer service: lacking. My experience unfortunately doesn't seem unique; paid for WeatherZone+ to avoid ads and gain features only for it to be discontinued. So, took the subscription option for years (great added functionality, btw), but no easy option to revise payment methods with a new credit card, and my suggestions for (simple) additions to the data presented (i.e. more usable historic data) went totally unacknowledged... nothing, not even a "maybe in later revisions".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
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.

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! -
I love this app as it gives you a rough estimate of the time when rain is expected.

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. -
Great app, way better than the BOM. I looked at it a while ago and wasn't that impressed but this version is much better than it was. It is worth paying to remove ads, although they are not intrusive/annoying. It loads much faster than BOM and lays out the data in a more useful way.

What happened to the zoom feature?
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.

The app ima pro subscriber does not provide the 10 day GFS forecasts from BoM, US NOAA, the Canadians & European these are our most useful forecasts for planning farm activities as the show the breadth, intensity & duration of an event. If all the models lineup the likelihood of the event occuring is high if the models don't lineup the intensity and extent of the event is far less likely to happen
-
I just changed phone and Weatherzone Plus has disappeared and isn't available. I would have paid a small subscription for that excellent app again. This new version is a cluttered mess. I've tried for a week to get used to it but I'm going to use the BOM app instead. Really miss WZ+

No longer recognises my subscription; gets stuck in a loop registering/logging in and have to force close the app. Edit: The issue is certainly NOT resolved; the loop issue is still present in the application.
