Ratings and Reviews
Notifications
I have just tried to leave a review 3 times but been deleted out as nickname already taken.
There are too many warning notifications popping up. It is a constant barrage of repeated information. I've just cleared 9 which popped up in 8 minutes. And not to mention the 20 ish that I cleared about 15 min prior to that. It is just repeating the same thing over and over. There are no updates to the information. 4 a day would be more than enough if there is nothing new or changed. Surely the app can tell if it has already pushed this information to you & not keep repeating it. If it doesn't improve I'm going to turn off the notifications as they are driving me mad. Had to turn off going to my watch as I ended up ignoring it and was missing important messages. Just had 5 during the time it's taken me to write this.
Feeling very exhausted.!
Good enough but warning system not updating
I like this app but having trouble with the warnings. It’s only set for my area so I’m only getting warnings for here which is great as I need to keep an eye on the creek level with the flooding happening in FNQ atm as we have a major creek running down the back of our house. I get the notification for the warning, click on it and it opens into the app, I click on the exclamation mark then it goes into the warnings list. This is where I’m having issues, before I expand the warning it has the right time the current warning was issued, but as soon as I expand the warning, it’s still actually the old warning with the old time & warning number (from the previous warning issued by BOM) so I have to go to my Willy Weather app and read the new warning. I’ve tried refreshing & closing app on and off but still hasn’t updated to the correct warning time & number that was currently issued. Also what’s with all the different colour crosses for the lightning strikes? Is there a key somewhere to know what’s white, blue etc? I’m guessing it’s the time/how long ago they occurred but I can’t find anywhere to tell me.
Far from accurate
I’ve been looking for a new weather app for a few months after my favourite was no longer supported. Like others have commented the photos are nice enough but not worth the hassle when you really just want accurate and easy to read weather info.
The temperature forecasts haven’t been too far off but rain and actual detail about the forecast is quite often a day out. This week BOM is predicting up to 10mm on Saturday which it lists on that day then you look at the forward rain forecast down the bottom and it doesn’t even remotely correlate to the same info, it says 1mm rain on Friday and nothing on Saturday! Did the same a couple of weeks ago bringing forward rain forecast for the day after in the two week rain look ahead. Quite often the rain forecast doesn’t even match BOM. I’ve only been using this for about three months now but if the poor consistency and inaccuracy continues I’ll have to go back to searching for another weather app 😩
