Great app, cheers ### 4/5 — Great app! *2023-09-21* 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. ### 1/5 — Lacks information *2020-12-11* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Good start but needs work *2020-01-13* 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. ### 1/5 — Grrrr *2020-01-11, version 2.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Useless for WA *2020-01-09* On a day where the biggest state has some form of serious emergency across atleast 60% of the state (bushfires and flooding as well as weather warnings) opening the app and finding that current evacuations are not available, there is absolutely no details about current warnings and advice. Additionally, updates to emergencies that span large areas have just been added to the area, so finding the current warnings is frustrating and time consuming. Sorry guys, but it's just not an effective app. It's disappointing, given the importance of the information. ### 4/5 — It’s good *2020-01-05* This is a good app. It appears to be optimised for use based on your phone’s GPS location, rather than remote searching. You can use it remotely, but it’s not mega easy. A few suggestions: 1) when searching list the previously searched locations as suggestions 2) default to Australian locations 3) after searching automatically zoom out the map to show the nearest incident 4) on a specific incident’s details, show the distance to the searched location, not just the phone’s GPS location 5) have an option to keep the map centred on the searched location when zooming. 6) notification when a there’s a new incident within a specified distance of a search. Nice app, thank you. ### 4/5 — Great start to a good app *2020-01-04* Hi there. I love that the app consolidates the information from all states and territories. I noticed though that when clicking on a black number consolidation icon that it doesn’t always zoom in and show the individual incidents. However to be a good fire app it would be good to have the following: - Icon Legend; - Icons that more closely represent what they stand for; - More information on the fires like the emergency VIC app shows; - Show state warning alerts; and - To be able to draw a personal incident radius to get notified if something happens in that radius. Keep up the good work! ### 3/5 — Useful but a distance scale would be handy! *2020-01-03* I have relatives in Ballarat but map gives no idea of how far away the nearest fires are. Mike S ### 4/5 — Essential app, needs fine tuning *2020-01-01* This app is a must have for every Australian. Would suggest some some tuning: Icons for map need to be rethought. There’s too much going on to get an easy big picture. Perhaps rather than image icons it would be much easier to think about abbreviations. Eg. GF - grass fire, HF - house fire, BF - bush fire etc... Also it would be helpful if closed events disappeared as to not cause confusion. Thank you for creating something for the people of Australia! ## Frequently asked questions about Australian Fires.
