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.

Tracking for Severe Thunderstorms

Flash floods can be a big problem in the Australia’s Northern Territory and Uluru gets the spectacular lightning storms and same does in Alice Springs and be safe to watch at the Ayers Rock Resort village in Yulara and so many trees are attracted to lightning strikes. And do not swim or boating in the water in places of Australia when the water conducts electricity when lightning strikes. Lightning is one of the most powerful forces of nature. I love watching lightning storms.

Great!

Pro tip: make sure you have “precise location“ turned on or the widget won’t work properly. Otherwise great!

Widget needs work

Was so excited to have a BOM weather widget on my Home Screen. Unfortunately it doesn’t work so well. The colours don’t change with the light/dark mode transition. The temperature only updates perhaps twice during the day. Which is most frustrating when I go from home to work an hour away and the location is still my home (and with the temperature last measured there). Groan. It also doesn’t update properly when you edit the widget location (the widget goes blank, I guess until it decides to update in a few hours?). It seems all of these are connected to the update frequency. Even with all permissions given and background refresh on, it’s glitchy. Weather updates should be every hour at the very least. Please fix.

Awesome app, now with widgets!!

Love that I can now get my BOM weather on my Home Screen with the addition of widgets. Thank you for adding that! Could you please add a dark version of the widget though? When my phone switches to dark mode after sunset, every widget changes colour EXCEPT the BOM. Glows like a bright beacon :)

Fix orientation bug.

Great app, but it needs an update to read the orientation of the device and not just assume a constant orientation. I use my iPad in an inverted orientation so I can have the charger cable at the top of the screen not digging into my stomach. This simple fix would make this app a 5 star app.
