About Rain?

You're in Australia? You want to know if it's going to rain? You want to know quickly, because you're too busy, or you want to use that new/old hipster-brolly you bought on Sunday? Us too.

All this app does is show you the latest rain radar data in your area, kindly supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology. Nothing more - no weather forecasts, no finding out how flamin' hot it was in Yabbie Creek in 1894.

Just rain. Or no rain.

Please note: if you notice a missing or decommissioned
radar, please email & let us know!

Full internet, tried Wi-Fi and data but app won't load data as it thinks there's no internet connection. 2 x phone, same error motog and lg f5. Useless app until it's fixed.

Only had the app for 6hrs. So far so good,but wish that roads and main rivers/lakes could be displayed if required. Also be able to zoom down below 100km would be great.

I like the App, but it does crash upwards of 50% of the time. Installed on a Samsung S3 4G (3G Sim), Android 4.1.2. Appears to work well on my Acer tablet using WiFi only. Hopefully the problems can be sorted out soon.

Used to be great! Now it won't connect anywhere. Says can't load radar data check your connection. Doesn't matter if you're on WiFi of just mobile connection. Big shame.... Used to use this app almost daily.

On numerous occasions, just when needed the most it fails to function. Similar apps with Bureau of Meteorology connectivity work fine, but this app does not!! Used to be very reliable but seems to have issues of late.

Great app but has issues connecting with the internet to retrieve data. Happens often, but unpredictable, on both mobile internet and WiFi. Wasn't working earlier today but is now. Increased stars when this issue is fixed

Q70%
by Q####:

Won't open when storms are prevelant (kind of the reason for having it). Very frustrating. Constant connection issues. Otherwise is a very cimpetant system.

O70%
by O####:

Was working really well but last few days... says no data. It's connected to wifi and everything else is working. Un installed then reinstalled, no change. Apparently there is no weather happening here. :/

E70%

Great in principal and when it works but nearly everytime I open it it screams I have no internet connection and cannot load data. Shame.

X70%
by X####:

Only works when there is no rain in area. If it looks like rain the app comes up no internet connection. Frustrating.

S3lte This app seems to work great, untill you need it the most, then it craps out and tells me I don't have an internet connection....wtf? Please fix asap as we are now in the midst of a bad storm season

Map is centered on Sydney, no way to move it. No pinching, flicking or scrolling. I can zoom in and out, on Sydney. No good in rural Vic. Great idea, esp if you live in Sydney.

Works great, location is simple to change, sure is annoying not being able to drag screen around lol. Thanks for your hard work making this application.

10/10 would do. This app has a killer body, beautiful face and smart and witty personality. I would even let her do me ;)

M70%

Tells me where the rain is coming from and when we will get wet. Simple and easy to use.

P70%
by P####:

I have had this app for a few years now, but there have been no improvements what so ever and recently it tells me that I have no Internet access, please try again. Why don't YOU check your Internet connection.

This app used to work well, and I used it frequently. However, it now fails to work in my area (Sellicks Hill).saying "no recent data could be found". I still appears to work for NSW. I reinstalled it, but it still does not work. Needs an oil change and lube.

It's the worst you can only see in the one country which is somewhere around Queensland and I am with my dad part time in Wollongong or I'm in Canberra with my mum and step dad

Yes, it's just about rain. But below par against anything else. How about at least have a "your location" marker?

U70%

Since last update can't change radar locations, stuck on sydney

U70%

Does as advertised, functional with no cruft.

U70%

Shows exactly what the BOM website does and a lot easier to access on mobile. I use it daily without a problem

U70%
by U####:

Static radar, unlike iPhone version. Sometimes wont load radar images when rain gets close to my location (brisbane). Just nitpicking, but overall still a good app with no ads!! :)

Great app but would you mind adding the 64km radar to the Cairns page please?

T70%
by T####:

Seems to work fine for Melbourne but it won't let me choose anywhere else and I don't live in Melbourne. So basically useless.

A70%

When you push on the map of Australia there's ALL the radars except the Australian national one.

Y70%
by Y####:

When it decided to work, its works good. But majority of the time comes up saying no Internet connection when my other apps work fine on the Internet. This problems needs fixing before I'll rate it higher!

F70%
by F####:

Ok if you have android 2.2 or older with no support for "rain alarm app'

Y70%
by Y####:

Sometimes you do not bells and whistles, getting to the right info fast is needed. This does that and well.

I live in the Mornington Peninsula Victoria. Which should be detectable. However you take me way of up the coast no good to me might as well be in Africa.

Recent update has done something weird coz when I click on the app, it says its not installed. Otherwise I'd rate it 4 stars

Is there a problem with the Serpentine radar for days now I've been getting no new data found.

R70%
by R####:

Doesn't work when there is a weather warning. Their app can't handle the load from everyone trying to check the radar.
