Excellent

Excellent to get live updates. But the map/location directions are completely wrong. For example an alert might say: Meelup Beach - NORTH of dunsborough
This is completely incorrect as Meelup is SOUTH of dunsborough
This happens all the time due to incorrect map reading
Other than that - highly recommend

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you like the app. With regards to the location of Meelup Beach, I think confusion has potentially arisen as Meelup Beach is further along the coastal route than Dunsborough if you are following the coast south. However, if you have a look at the map again you can see that this part of the coast, heading out along the peninsula towards Cape Naturaliste curves in a northern direction from Dunsborough, therefore Meelup is north of Dunsborough. If you have any further questions or suggestions on the app please let us know and thanks again for taking the time to write your review, we appreciate the feedback.

Great initiative

Fantastic to see the state government take a proactive not reactive approach to dealing with sharks 🦈. It’s in no way designed to put you off swimming or surfing, merely informing. App is simple, informative, customisable to suit your needs.

Shows sharks around you

There’s a lot of them hey.
