Description
*** There are two version of Pocket Weather: World and Australia. This is the Australian one and has AUSTRALIAN DATA ONLY. ***

INTRO:
If you have relatives in Australia, or your an expat, then you should know that there's only one reliable source for Australian Weather -> the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). Your built in iPhone Weather App doesn't use this source, which is why Pocket Weather AU exists. We only have Australian Weather, but really, it's the best in the world, so what more do you need?

FEATURES:
- Forecast & observation data for hundreds of areas around Australia. Select it via GPS, Map or list.
- Push current temp, text forecasts and warnings to your iPhone (NEW in 2.0)
- Tide graphs for hundreds of locations around Australia
- Animated weather icons
- Sunrise/sunset times
- All of the BOM rain and wind doppler radars with Find/Track me function as well as the ability to have it auto update (Live Radar in settings, NEW in 2.0)
- National rain & cloud radars & Synoptic chart
- Extended forecasts for regional areas
- Give your locations custom names (NEW in 2.0)
- Shake to skin, simply shake your phone to switch between four different skins
- Realtime UV support for some locations (NEW in 2.0)
- Last update is always cached, so you don't need a network connection to check the weather for the week, once you've got it once.
- Updates are tiny (less than 10kb) so you don't have to worry about your iPhone data cap.
- Supports landscape and portrait view, and in landscape you get all the information on a single page.

Version 2.1.1
Visually pleasant and chock full of information. I've had no trouble finding various locations and the list view makes it especially easy to access weather info at various locations on the fly. I look at it daily and never had any troubles.
Very very nice application!

Version 2.1.1
This is a brilliant application for getting the latest BOM weather for Australia. I have used several other weather applications, some of which have terrible weather forecasts for Australia (ie Weather.com) and others (AeroWeather) have a lot of unwanted info or unfamiliar units. Pocket Weather does not have any of these such issues, based on the strength of the BOW forecast, it presents the current weather and forecast information in an easily viewable & navigatable manner. The additional feature of BOM radars also is very nice. Well worth the price!

Version 2.2.2
The top app for Australia. This was the app that (before the iPhone) was common, was one of my 'demo' apps that never failed to impress on how great of a platform the iPhone was. To this day, the developers have continued improving, based both on user feedback and their own ideas. Simply put, it has a coveted position on the first page of my apps.
Fantastic
