User reviews

Does it actually ring triple 0 if you press the button?

Could you please move the triple 0 button away from the information, it scare me half to death I’m going to press it. Great app, cheers

Great app!

Honestly, very great app. I would just suggest that if it had like a gps travel mode. Like google maps, but just so if I can see the route I will take will be close to a fire. It doesn’t have to guide me, just show me if there would be a fire along the way.

Lacks information

It’s ok if you’re happy to look at, a drawing of a flame on a map. Lacks relevant/any information. Despite the reply to previous feedback, this app is seriously lacking.
In the past there was another app, that has since vanished. It was far superior. It never let me down. This one is no where near it. Disappointingly.... my wait continues. Where did Emergency Aus go? I’m guessing it was Apple on their throne again. Can’t have the people actually having information.

Response from developer

Hi Hippapottapudd, in the latest release (1.6) additional details have been added for incidents in QLD, NSW, SA, TAS and NT. I'm currently working towards supporting more information for VIC and WA. Each state has its own unique way of cataloging incidents so creating a consistent way to parse and display that information takes a little bit of time. In future Australian Fires hopes to be able to display the most relevant information for all states.

Good start but needs work

To have an app that covers Aus Fires to the extent this app is great. If all you need is info on city areas this app will be of use. However if you need details on fires in the bush then you may be disappointed since the app uses Apple Maps on my Apple Notebook as well as my phone and iPad. Hence drilling down to certain areas leaves a lot to be desired. Apple maps just is not up to the level of detail in country areas. I hope that someday soon this app could be updated to give the user a choice of which map app to use.

Grrrr

I was hoping to bring up a map with the Australian fires. So I downloaded and when I clicked on it it came up with my area in New Hampshire, USA. Not good.
