          Not a great mentality to have with Android apps. Not saying there’s anything wrong with this particular app, but in general, just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to install it.

        wow, that bad huh. TIL. I stand corrected.
        I know he's jumped-up as (profanity) and a prolific beggar, but his free posts usually tells me early in the day if I need to get the car parked undercover when I leave for work.

        On other hand, the warning sms I got from here and reading BOM alerts are usually too late to be of use. A warning 50 mins while its going to take me 60m to where I parked my car in an open lot.

        • Agret on 20/09/2021 - 20:02

      It'd be great if the BOM app could represent the hourly forecast in graphical format like the Weatherzone app. It's much easier to read.

  • Wakrak on 16/09/2021 - 20:32

      I honestly think you're best off just sticking your head out the window, or standing outside for a minute to judge things.
      Maybe lick your finger and stick in the air, for good measure.

      I'll stick with BOM either way!

      • Nickelback on 16/09/2021 - 22:56

        If the reviewer is from UK, he shouldn't even bother sticking his head out of the window or download a weather app for that matter!

  • Flyerone on 16/09/2021 - 20:46

    New app by a Melbourne based dev called Local Weather (Australia) for $2.49 was released this week and he's taking feedback and suggestions on WP's Android/Weather Apps thread. It's not free but it's a nice looking app and uses the BOM API.

    • Agret on 20/09/2021 - 20:11

      I find the 5 day forecast much harder to find/read quickly on the new BOM design than the old app, now you have to scroll down to see it :(

  • SnowDragon on 16/09/2021 - 20:53

        When your willy is:

        Hard to see - it's foggy

      I haven't used Aus Weather.

      I do use Willy Weather - has it all - tides, wind, humidity, UV, etc. in a beautiful interface. Ads in the free version are pretty unobtrusive.

      • slipkord on 17/09/2021 - 11:13

        A while ago I was looking for a replacement for the popular-but-then-went-defunct Pocket Weather app / alternative to Dark Sky on my Android smartphone … and after looking on a few forums, I came upon Aus Weather Australia.

        As xiangtan mentioned, it uses BOM data, and I've been pretty happy with its uncluttered and easy-to-glance-at interface on both the app UI, as well as its widget variants (3 to choose from)

      • bohn on 17/09/2021 - 11:31

        re ads, if you use Adguard, there are no ads in the free version of the app.

        • ripprind on 18/09/2021 - 07:33

          how much does adGuard cost?
          is says 7 days for free but then what?

          • bohn on 18/09/2021 - 09:55
            +1

            @ripprind: I bought a lifetime license years ago using a VPN and it was quite a bit cheaper than it is now. Adguard appears to be asking about 90$ for lifetime.
            I only bought adguard android, I don't use the PC version, it really is worth the money. It removes ads from almost all apps, not just the browser.

            You could look for coupons or VPN options to get it cheaper, but it's worth having in my opinion.
            I did just find this https://www.g2a.com/adguard-premium-pc-android-mac-ios-3-dev… for about $21 AUD.
            There might be others

  • Cloudwarrior on 16/09/2021 - 21:27

    Don't most weather apps just pull the BOM data anyway?
    It's just a matter of the app usability

    • bmerigan on 16/09/2021 - 22:00
      +10

      Surprisingly no, most don't. They get weather data from some US company and it's rarely accurate.

      • dbmitch on 17/09/2021 - 02:56
        +4

        Australian weather from US data is just a massive inaccuracy and delay waiting to happen.

        BOM for life.

    • phabez on 16/09/2021 - 22:05
      +2

      No, IIRC BOM charges some large fees to use their data, so it can be harder for app developers to justify using BOM

      • ripprind on 18/09/2021 - 07:38

        don't know if the charges are "large" but definitely hard to justify for a free app.
        I support BOMs decision to ask for a licence fee though.

        • Agret on 20/09/2021 - 20:15

          BOM is already funded by our tax dollars so i'm not sure why they would charge for API access. It's not like they are losing ad revenue since their app has no ads.

    • Agret on 20/09/2021 - 20:14

      A lot of them use The Weather Channel (Weather.com) as their data source which is US focused and often incorrect for Australia.

    I just use https://weather.bom.gov.au installed on my Android phone as as lite app (essentially a shortcut to the webpage displayed in full screen and without the address bar etc). Nice simple layout and does everything I need - hourly forecast, seven day outlook, warnings and radar.

  • repeat on 16/09/2021 - 21:43

    Many "weather" apps collect location data which is sold to data brokers.

    I do not know if BOM does that.

    I use weatherzone. Better presentation for my taste but the widget bugs out not updating and now has ads… still looking for a similar replacement.

    • neonlight on 17/09/2021 - 07:12

      Yeah but like I said before don't pay for it. Who knows what the developer will do with your purchase. Google or Apple shouldn't allow that to happen. You have paid for app you should have full version for it forever. However developers abolish old version release as new with same app name so they get more money. You should not support these developers

      • jebdra on 17/09/2021 - 10:15

        You still have access to the old version.

        It's not in the main Google store, but it's still in your app list. You can install from there.

        I'm still using the old version. I really dislike the new version, for lots of of reasons.

    • Soothsayer on 17/09/2021 - 00:03
      +4

      If it doesn't use the BoM for weather data then it's not worth using in this country.

      That goes for all weather services (Apple/Google stock weather apps, Windows weather app, etc) and not just Samsung.

      Just compare the forecast between BoM vs any of these apps to see the accuracy difference.

      • Zapwap on 17/09/2021 - 13:45

        Yes, that's right and to answer my own question, I am not sure if Weather app on samsung uses BOM weather data as many times as I can recall, the weather data was inaccurate.

        In short, BOM is best and from my experience, Weather from samsung is inaccurate.

  • Homr on 16/09/2021 - 22:49

    Just FYI in case anyone else would find notifications for when it's going to rain soon then rain alarm has been working super well for me, it's pretty much always accurate and gives me enough notice to go and put my tools away, if you require a lot of advance notice it's not that great, as you get maybe 30 mins at best, also don't bother buying the alarm settings feature because there's nothing remotely useful in there.
