My understanding is that both Willyweather (which I use) and Fishranger obtain their data from the BOM

A guy I spoke to once out fishing said inaccurate weather reporting was related to less airplane traffic (not getting as much data) - don't know how true that is

Meteye,
its a 7day 3hourly prediction on the BOM page, select from a map or enter the post code.

FishRanger for me, seems pretty accurate so far.

They are as accurate as the BOM will allow, because that's where they source their data. Same as Willyweather.
The only difference between the apps is how they present the info
