Bushfires in Queensland User Reviews

Uses data from the gov site

I love that this app uses the official QLD gov information stream in real time. It looks good as well, specially after the new ios15 update :)

Essential

Does what it says on the tin. Uncluttered design doesn’t get in the way of the official info. A timely download for the forthcoming fire season. One app I hope I don’t have to use much, but glad I have installed.

Grr

I was hoping to get a map app that has the Australian Fires since my brother lives Down there. Well I downloaded when I clicked on it I am brought to Deerfield, New Hampshire, USA. I even tried to search Proston, Queensland, Australian. It took me back to New Hampshire, USA.

Ok, first thought about the one star. PAIN! To make things even more painful, if I enter the search string you wrote in the review, it works for me… So how can this happen? I’m going to guess that it’s because of problems with the UI. A bug is that nothing happens if you press the return key. You HAVE to press the magnifying glass. This will be fixed in version 1.3. But furthermore, you raise a much valid point about how the app behaves when you don’t live in Australia. You have to scroll or search EVERY TIME which is a pain. I actually created this app for my brother who also lives in Australia, QLD. So, in version 1.3 there will be an option to always launch the app at a search location instead of just you own location. Finally, the search is pretty bad. To just enter a search query and hope for the best, that’s no good. So, for version 1.3 there will be search completion. So, if you enter “Br”, then it will show a list with for instance Brisbane. So, on second thought thank you so much for you feedback!!! I’m working on version 1.3 now and I hope it will be out soon. I hope you get a chance to try it when its done! Thanks again!

Reliable data

Necessary and accurate information. Timely app available for summer

Does Exactly What It Says

If you see a plume of smoke and want to know how close the fire is, download this app! Tells you all you need to know, in a very efficient interface! Dark Mode just needs a bit of work with readability when zoomed in but everything else is great! Next stop, all of Australia 😄

Great app!

Important information and a great app for staying safe!
