  1. API for developers like 'Dark Sky'

    With the imminent https://blog.darksky.net/ darksky shutdown, there are weather prediction apps that will have no API.

    Feature request: weather predictions available (at a cost) to developers e.g. mobile apps and home automation skills

  5. Timestamp on radar images

    Self-confessed weather nerd.
    Loving the app but would love for a timestamp to be on the radar images if possible.

    Would make it easier to see how quickly various fronts are moving!

    Thanks!

  8. Differentiate between smoke and cloud

    Just wondering if it is possible for the app to differentiate between smoke and cloud.

    Today the app seems to show lots of rain in fire affected areas, which would be awesome, but it seems the app can’t differentiate between smoke and cloud.

    I’m guessing this is hard to do...

  9. UV and feels like

    Please add UV forecast - we’re in Australia where getting cancer is unfortunately more of an issue than getting wet.

    Feels like temperature would really help too.

  10. Alarm Clock

    I want to go for a run so I set my alarm for 5am. But my new magic rain app says hey it’s raining soon sure you want to go. I’m up now can’t go back to sleep.

    I need you to sync or set alarm to not go off because of rain at 5am but go off later at 6:30.

    Thanks.

  14. Hourly rain percentage.

    BOM has a hourly rain percentage underneath the time and icon for predicted weather, a paid app using the same source should also offer this.

  15. Wind direction backwards

    Wind direction is normally given as direction it blows to, not from.

    Check Wikipedia to confirm.

    under review  ·  AdminRain Parrot (Support, Mobile Technology (WA) Pty. Ltd.) responded

    The problem is that the radar is centred on the radar station, so by centring the map you will have to crop the radar – we can’t make up the data from no-where.

    By moving the map, we’ll just expose an area of the map that the radar does not cover. So to do that, we need to then zoom in, or use data from another radar. If we zoom in, you don’t get more data, it will just get more blurred, and if try to use another radar, then there is a likely possibility that there is not coverage.

  17. Does the app offer atmospheric pressure (barometer)?

  18. Rain Parrot does not fix on my location

    I live at Little Bay (on the coast south of Maroubra) but Rain Parrot shows me the weather for Sydney Airport. Although the airport is a relatively short distance from Little Bay (around 10km) the temperature is quite different- coastal versus cement runways. I don’t have a problem with GPS recognition for other weather and GPS dependent apps, only with Rain Parrot.

    We are looking into some advanced ways we can merge our current ‘actual’ data with the predicted models, that other apps use, to provide a higher accuracy solution.

    There are loads of apps that ‘fake it’ by using these models, we prefer to give the real data where possible, however we understand that this doesn’t work for everyone, particularly if you are not near a weather station.

  20. Lighting tracking g

    I have seen that you have a few requests for this and I think it would be a great addition.
    I know that in Australia Bureau of meteorology has active lighting tracking. Other weather apps like weather zone and flight radar 24 also have this feature so the data source might be more available than back in 2016. Just an idea :)

    Love the app btw!
