When travelling it's not always convenient to use the computer to seek weather information so I was considering weather apps for the phone.
There seem to be dozens available so I seek EO experience and opinions.
One that caught my eye was "Oz Weather" as it appears dedicated to Oz.
Any thoughts?

I have been using Oz Weather for years. I have found it to be the best and appears to get the info directly from www.bom.gov.au and to be the most accurate. The rain radar is very good to.

Oz weather is good but does not have tide information.
Pocket Weather has everything that Oz weather has plus the tide information.
I have them both.
Good Luck

Use AU Tides Pro to find daily predictions of the times and heights of high and low waters for locations around Australia in 2012-2013. No connection is needed as the app has its own database.

Sounds bizarre I know, but the best one I've found is yr.no
I think it's from Norway but is uncannily accurate; especially regarding rainfall....
