Made in Melbourne from local and imported caffeine.
Was stuck earlier this month, giving old forecasts, but is working again now. Also, it's really good how it works offline.
It's a great app and i use it all the time and the radar is great as well but lately the radar isn't working at the moment and would like you to fix it please because it's always good to know how big or bad it is.
1-week forecast stuck on 9th December and today and tomorrow on BOM say 33 and 36 but app says 25 for both days. Loved it till the latest update. WAS the most accurate app out there. I'll have to uninstall if not fixed quickly.
This is a great app and the fact it's free is even better!! The only thing is there should be more areas to select in each state some of the main suburbs are not listed. Please update with more areas the main areas in south Australia are not listed!! Also there is something wrong it's not showing the 7 day forecast it's still the weather from last Wednesday.
As with other users, previously found this app to be great. But now the 7 day forecast is stuck on Wednesday 9th Dec. Very frustrating!
I was good but got stuck on 9th wed and tried to re-install and now unable to even download it total crap
I wanted an app that showed the weather for my suburb. Not one 20km away from my house. Isn't the best app I have seen. Uninstalling it.
Been using it for years. Always shows me the accurate BoM forecast and always links my location to the nearest available BoM location. The weekly forecast seems to have been frozen for about a week so BoM may have changed something, possibly update needed. Love the App, thanks! I get around the lack of menu button on S5 using Nova launcher and holding the switch window (bottom left) button to bring up old menu. That's more of an S5 issue but this App could workaround it with an on screen menu button.
Was my favourite app, but hasn't been working for weeks now. Doesn't update the forecasts correctly.
The app has become inaccurate as it has glitched on the weekly forcast. This needs to be fixed asap. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it didn't help. Please fix it as i used to love this app
Semi accurate that glitch of wrong temps was a pain as I work outside if that hadn't of happened would have been a 5
great app has everything you need to watch the weather i work outdoors so i use it everyday. All you whinging about menu button on an s5 hold the button down on the bottom left of your phone simple!
The forecast has been fixed and I'm extremely happy to have a full functioning weather app again! This is my favourite weather app but like others below, the 7 day forecast is stuck on wednesday 9th. It looks like the overview is now outed also. I've reinstalled it several times to no avail.funtopia aren't replying to emails either.....fix the app please!
suddenly warns me to turn on GPS and if I don't it gives me random location and random weather. Even setting the location explicitty does not work. Previous version was stable.
It was a great app but stuck for the past week. 7 day forecast is now 7 day past! Shame I will have to find another app to replace it after all this time.
Like everyone else said. This was great until the forecast got stuck and it no longer updates (making it pointless for me to have). I was annoyed when reinstalling didn't fix it.
Like others, I've been very happy with the app, until the future forecast date has been stuck on 9 Dec. I'm going to re-install the app, but I'll delete it for another if the error isn't fixed.
This was a great app on my Galaxy Nexus, but it doesn't work on my S5. I can't change the location anymore, it's stuck on Melbourne airport, and the weather there is useless to me
Been using this for years - totally free, simple layout, accurate BOM weather and the best - and outdated forecasts now fixed. There is one other tiny glitch. Main Overview page always shows 100% chance of rain in forecast heading (though real % is listed just below it.) As for others wanting it to show every suburb and town like some bogus US weather apps, it only shows BOM weather station locations, like the BOM website.
It's stuck on Wednesday.Possibly because the BOM has just updated with new mobile site etc. Who knows. Uninstalling now. It simply does not work for today's weather.such a shame.update 18/12. Now working again! Nice.
Have been using this app for some time now and as others have observed, it is no longer getting updates and as of today, it no longer connects. BoM must have changed the XML formats so the app is no longer able to parse it. Please get it fixed ASAP. BTW, I have notice every other app that relies on the XML files also cannot connect. Giving it 3 stars due to the update issues. Also, Johanna, you cannot have every suburb listed as BoM does not have a weather station in every suburb. I use the closest weather station to where I live and where I work and that is usually within 5km which is good enough for me. Everyone, please use the support email to lodge a fault with the app as the author does not read the reviews.
This app has been fantastic up until late. The week forecast is stuck on last week. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and didn't help. Would be 5 stars if it wasn't for this! Especially during storm season!
i use it every day. great substitute for BOM.. as far as the hickup on 9Dec goes yes it was annoying but nothing works perfect all the time. make allowances. even the 'mighty' BOM site shuts down occasionally.. i live 40km out of Canberra n my town is not covered of a weekend so i just go to Canb site of wkend. i survive.. n the Canb radar extends to cover Yass so its good.. life is too short to stew over 'nothings'.. if u want a more 'accurate' app. go pay for one.. Simples :-)
Been using this for years on different phones, highly accurate usually no more than 1.5 degrees off my weather station. Just wished the data for the radar display wasn't limited to the last 30 minutes and fix the 24 to 72 hour past readout, seems to be stucked between the 3rd to the 6th of Jan/Feb? Uninstalled and reinstalling app solved my latter problem :)
Have had this app for 18months & have had no problems until now unfortunately have the same issue as others, remains stuck on 9/12/15 useless app now!
Got a bit of a fright there, but the app is now running properly again. Hands down, the best Australian weather app. I did look at some alternatives (inc the new mobile BOM site) when the updating stopped recently, but none have this one's killer feature: the 7 day forecast on one screen. If you want the expanded details for a day you can get them, but having the whole week on one screen (or one tap on the widget), no scrolling, is great. Also, the "current" weather details including dewpoint are in the best, clear format. Well done Funtopia.
This app Was So easy to use and spot on all the time. And definitely WAS the best app on android. But not anymore I can't get the widget and auto update and auto location is not working correctly. Please fix
The app is a great one but it needs you to refresh the different pages and what's with the refresh button being put in different places on different pages. Now stuck on 9th Dec fed up with this crap uninstalling.
Usually an excellent app, usually highly recommend however something has gone wrong... hope its fixed quickly...
It frustrates me that typically I'll see in the summary the chance of rain is (100%) and in the body of the synopsis text, chance of rain is (70%). So, guys, which is it? Otherwise a very handy app, love the integrated radar and the simple four-option layout.
Was a good app - what happened? Since 25/12/14 it won't update or do anything it used to on either my phone or my partners. Disappointed and uninstalling :-(
It has been days now that I have had no radar service for any of South East Queensland. Help!!! Not that it rains here ever but would be nice to have a bit of warning!! :-(
Works fine on our android Sony/Samsung 'phones, but although downloaded to our Samsung tablet (supposedly compatable), on a number of occassions - zilch happens!
Having trouble changing to the correct suburb. Yes gps is on but no method to refresh. It's OK otherwise but better apps elsewhere.
Terrible! Was saying it was 24° when it was actually 36°
Used to be really good, then it just stopped updating, dont want to know what the weather was 12 hours ago!! Keeps saying that im out of range. When its not on auto detect!!! Would of given 5 stars! The way it used to be
I used to like this app, but recently It very poor due to not get apdated.
On second thoughts I will delete this app. The chance of rainfall given is a number plucked out of thin air and bears no resemblance to BoM figures. The current weather information is frequently over 30 minutes out of date. Do yourself a favour and give this app a miss. A web browser and the BoM website is all you need.
I used to be able to select the location I wanted the weather to be reported. Now I cannot, which is seriously making me consider to uninstall.

Have had this app for quite a while now, and until last week was pretty accurate. It has been stuck on wed the 9th dec, and no matter what I do, it's not moving from that date?
