Reviews for BOM Weather
now one day older
Often wrong, often useless
Raining in Sydney all day while the app shows cloudy/sunny, and “50% chance of at least 0 mm” - does that make sense to anyone? Humidity today is ~90% while the app shows 46%. Such gross inaccuracies are very common in my experience. Too much development effort on security/updates and so little remains for the point of it all?

Handy weather info
It's really nice to be able to cycle through the "confidence level" of the rain predictions. Most times I just want to know what's likely to happen, but sometimes when you make plans you need to know if there's any chance at all of rain.
