*****************************
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS APP. What the other apps don't have.
1) It uses GPS to show your location on the radar.
2) Oz Radar supports full screen landscape view.

5) Rain notifications
6) BOM weather warning notifications
(But don't believe me, read the reviews)
*****************************
Oz weather radar allows you to view the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) weather radar information located through Australia. Each radar image can be panned and zoomed to get a better look at the area you are interested in. Approximately 50 radars cover a large proportion of Australia to bring you the most up to date weather information.
The information cycles through the last few images so you can get a good look at what is happening around you.
All views show the latest feeds directly from the BOM web site. Dedicated weather watch radars provide the most up to date weather information every 10 minutes and in some cases every 6 minutes.
You can also view the last 6 hours of satellite cloud imagery that is taken every hour on the National view.
Features not seen in other apps include;
* Showing YOUR GPS location on the radar map.
* Listing nearby radars
* Cached backgrounds for faster loading and less data usage
* Pinch zoom with drag panning
* Selection of surrounding radar by direction
* LANDSCAPE View
* Animated national weather chart
* Animated national synoptic chart (The one with the lines ad arrows)
* Weather readings from hundreds of weather stations.

Note : This app uses background location to generate alerts of rain in your current area.

Ratings and Reviews
Bugs and crashes
Needs updates for crashes, double screen when looking at radar and background image of screen settings. Used to be my best weather app but you seem to have dropped the ball.
Go to weather app
I have been using the oz radar light for over five years and it has been very reliable. I’ve just purchased the full version and the tiles are a good way of having multiple views of the same place or creating an extended map around your location. I’ve noticed there’s a few bugs when moving down the menu structure and the app has crashed once or twice while I was configuring.
A big concern is data privacy and security and I trust the developer will address this issue as soon as possible. Noting the last version upgrade of the software was a long time ago.
Overall, I’m giving this app 4 stars based on my consistent 4 - 5 times a day use of Oz Radar lite and my limited use of the paid app. If the paid app is anything like the lite, it will continue to be my go-to weather radar app.
BEST “TIME” SIZE IVE EVER for old eyesight
Any chance to add an indicator ON THE DAY OF FULL MOON? AND ANOTHER OF NEW MOON?
EXPLANATION-:- they are all there but without trained eye who heck would know FULL MOON OR NEW MOON? Anything even N For new moon and F for full?
Used a lot of years. For me using an American site is unusual as rarely do American sites that address all Australian needs. This one is close.
I appreciate now my eyesight is poor that the TIME feature gets first position for my eyes as it’s exceptional with a size that’s readable by even poorest eyes
