I love the idea of this app however it won't find my location. When downloaded you think there would be initial settings like allow data or images or location settings but it didn't. When I've gone into the phones settings and allowed the location for this app, it still doesn't work. Not sure what other phones other users are experiencing this same issue but I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. Please fix this fault as I would definatley use this app.

Error stating unable to find location as it does not.have permission to access location services means the app is more or less useless. Hopefully there is a fix for this soon as I absolutely love the concept and can't wait to be able to start using it and reporting

App is glitchy when trying to upload pictures. Really wanted to get you some photos of the small bits of hail we had and the cloud formations leading up to it, but had to give up and sadly photos lost.

Freezes phone. Can't find location, even when location permissions set. Can't report weather. Shouldn't have been released with these issues. Uninstalled.

App does not work, won't find my location even though permission allowed. Problem fixed, but you need to restart app after setting your location so that it shows on map

Pointless in a way, one would expect some information when clicking on an icon. Like a heads up. I understand it's not a warning app. Just a data collector.

About this app

Welcome to the WeatheX app!

WeatheX needs you, the citizen scientist, to watch and report severe weather events wherever you are using your smartphone.

Severe weather events are often missed by weather instruments and are difficult to capture. Why? Because weather radar cannot see close to the ground and surface weather stations are sparsely located. Your reports will vastly improve our ability to capture these events and contribute to better understanding.

WeatheX allows you to report the severity, location and timing of hail size, wind damage, flooding and tornadoes. You can also capture a photo or add a description of the event. This information will be used by weather and climate researchers, including the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, Monash University and Australian Bureau of Meteorology. All reports and photos will remain anonymous and no identifying information is collected.

The app also allows you to view the location and time of recent reports across Australia. Zoom, pan and investigate what's happening locally or the other side of the country. You will also see your own report on the map immediately after reporting too!

To get started with reporting, download and open the WeatheX, select the + button on the map and choose a weather type. Please provide a description if possible, or if you need to report a previous event.
