Horizontal scroll dates
In the horizontal scroll, it is difficult to determine which day the 3 hour block is referring. Is there a way this can be made easier see?

Zoom the map
I have no idea if the radar is showing rain over my location or not. I can’t even tell where my exact location is on the map (it doesn’t show my suburb).
Zoom in on the map to show details makes the information really relevant and useful. So far, I’m using the weatherzone radar map more than this one.17 votes -
Radar times (and predictions?)
It would be good to have times going along with the radar images, as seems to be common with most apps. Just makes it easier to estimate how quick rain will arrive/pass on that screen as well.
Also, the Weather Channel app has a radar prediction loop as well, which can be very useful.
Yours is certainly the nicest animation of all the ones I’ve seen, so would be great to add a few common features.
27 votesThe current design focuses on keeping the design clean and removing any information that is not required. The point of the radar page is that it is always up to date, and will let you know when the next image is arriving. The prediction page tells you when the rain is arriving.

Radar sensitivity.
Are you able to turn down sensitivity on over excited sites e.g. Namoi ( Black Jack Mountain). The two lowest indications are not actually rain, just heavy cloud. I have logged complaints with BOM a number of occasions to no avail. Their techs. could fix this easily as sensitivity is adjustable. Even shows major bushfires as rain!
2 votesI have thought about such a feature, as this may be a way of removing noise from the radar. It’s quite a lot of work, but I will keep it in mind for a future update.

The radar has a limited resolution, so zooming in doesn’t give you any more data, it just makes the image blurrier.

About page
Relocate the About page to Settings or Feedback and Support.
Love the app and would love to support the developer. But I don’t think this page warrants a separate section on the main navigation menu.
:)9 votesYou don’t need to go to that page, there is no need to go there if you don’t want to. Anyway it is looking like that page will be removed in a future update anyway

Share.
What about adding the ability to share a forecast?
9 votesStay tuned!

48hr forecast icons are difficult to see
+Make the 48hr forecast panel larger or clickable to show more details like a percentage likely hood of rain and at what time the rain should occur per hour or 2hr. Also show wind speed, wind direction, temperature etc. It's convenient to plan the day around this info.
8 votesWe are working on some design updates and I’ll see if we can integrate some of these ideas.

Hourly temperatures in horizontal scroll
Expand the current days temperature to be in hourly blocks rather than summarised over 3 hour intervals. It could even be included in the settings as a more detailed option for those that might prefer it
10 votesUnfortunately getting data this accurate is tricky, typically when you see this feature they may be using tricks like interpolation (averaging) between two 3 hour data points. I have been looking for a data source that can give this but it get both expensive and technical to implement.

Refresh in Apple Watch app
It would be useful to be able to refresh the forecast from the watch with pull to refresh.
29 votesI don’t have an Apple watch at the moment to test this on, but I’ll look into it when I can.

Show rainfall history
Provide rainfall amounts for the past week
17 votesI’ll see if I can add this, but that information is freely available online

Nicer looking appealing widget
A better more eye-appealing widget is necessary (Key word "Eye appealing")
15 votesI’ll look into it if I get time

Add more radars
I am in the Lockyer Valley and Toowoomba, the app is using Brisbane radar and saying I am too far from the radar for accurate predictions (It has rained and no notifications at all). There is no option for me to use the much closer Marburg radar.
27 votesAt the moment there is some complex logic for choosing the correct radar – I’ll look into tweaking it if there is a closer radar, even if that is of a lower quality image.

I take it yo mean the force touch settings – that could be interesting, maybe once I get a new phone I’ll look into it.

Apple Watch complication.
Would be great to have a complication for Apple Watch advising how long until rain starts.

Ability to change the alert to a ringtone
I often miss the short alerts especially if my phone is not on me. Having a long alert like a ringtone would be fantastic and set this product apart from all other rain alarms. I need an alert that can wake me at night if I have my telescope setup.
40 votesI have considered adding additional sounds – I’ll keep it in mind for a future update.
