Comments on BOM Weather for Android

★★★★★ Keegan Lillo · Oct 27, 2026
Version 6.15.0 broke the ability to drag the time indicator on the radar screen. It was already painfully hard to actually hit, but now you can't manually scrub back and forth at all
★★★★★ Paul Buz · Nov 3, 2026
Easy to navigate and has all the necessary information
★★★★★ Ian Freeman · Oct 5, 2026
Easy to use and reasonably accurate for the wider region. Less accurate for specific localities but still acceptable
★★★★★ Harley Springer · Oct 2, 2026
Pretty much right on info every time I look up the forecast, thank you .
★★★★☆ Kieren Walsh · Oct 16, 2026
Would be 5 star if they add the Synoptic chart MSLP overlay to the Map tab :)
★★★★★ Rachel Arroyo · Oct 12, 2026
One of the best... I always end up at this site when I need weather info 👍
★☆☆☆☆ Simon Ashdown · Oct 5, 2026
So we keep getting rain alerts for rain that doesn't exist. It's not rain, it's evaporation and radar artifacts. Something the BOM has been aware of since weather radar was invented. But we still keep getting these phantom alerts. Windy doesn't have the same problem, despite the fact that Windy use's the BOM's own data to make their extrapolations... Pretty much ready to uninstall and just use Windy exclusively now, whether it's paid or not.
★★☆☆☆ Jimmy Bob · Oct 24, 2026
Only writing this for feedback, why the dragging the dot for the map is taken away?? Use to be able to slide it back and forward freely
★☆☆☆☆ W D · Oct 28, 2026
Useless and pathetic. Why is this costing Australia billions of dollars per year, and they get it wrong multiple times a day. Are the retards of the world working at bom weather
