### 5/5 — 🇦🇺 the Brisbane app 🇦🇺

*2026-02-12*

I think it can change Brisbane by keeping it the same or changing it because of the app where you can like Brisbane. and the Queensland government can then change our community. you can give it stars in Love hearts in the same way, but they’re the same thing.

### 2/5 — App keeps on crashing

*2025-04-13, version 1.7.3*

Every time you click on any tile, the app crashes.

### 4/5 — Ios18 icon support please

*2024-11-01, version 1.7.2*

iOS 18

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-02-23, version 1.7.1*

This app is so flawed - a waste of public money. So many out of date listings. So many pieces of council comms, but nothing of actual use. Delete. Delete. Delete.

### 2/5 — INFANTILE APP !

*2023-11-07, version 1.6.3*

Starting from the basic and very boring logo, (I used to design in college 23 years ago)… c’mon guys we’re in XXI century, jazz it up asap!

Like anything government, specially websites; it’s not very user friendly, over complicated and some features don’t really work ‘cause of these. 

You must hire a design consultant, then a developer (not a government big brick-head, wannabe developer, trying to be a part-time designer)😉

Think of your target audience, not impress the boss, ‘cause he’ll never use it!

### 2/5 — Like a notification

*2023-07-09, version 1.5.0*

Unable to like anything that was sent as a notification from the app

### 2/5 — Not user-friendly

*2023-03-15*

I SO wanted this app to be easy to use because Brisbane has so much going on, but alas, it just doesn’t do it for me. I want to search activities by day only (Wednesdays) and can’t seem to filter that, or at least I couldn’t find out how to do it. Being a busy mum I need something simple and easy to use, unfortunately this ain’t that… yet!

### 3/5 — Zomato Doesn’t work

*2023-02-10, version 1.4.1*

Zomato is no longer available in Australia. So that link won’t work.

### 3/5 — App logo… sexy it up please

*2022-11-01*

Yet to use the app… but sounds like a fantastic app!! BUT… come on guys… surely marketing can come up with something more sexier / enticing than a boring blue font on a white background … this is an app about amazing restaurants, bars, social haunts right? Make me feel like I’ll miss out. And make me want to recommend the app… yeah? We all judge a book by its cover (even those that say they don’t…) and even more so those days. Make the B hot pink or purple? Currently looks like an app for a boring library event or somewhere random to catch a bus…

### 1/5 — Won’t open on iPhone

*2022-10-03, version 1.2.4*

Doesn’t open on iPhone, just perpetually loads. Until you eventually get the error message - ‘an error occurred while loading data necessary for the app to launch’. I can see someone else has previously posted this feedback, so it clearly isn’t being addressed. 
Unusable.
