What's New in Bushfires in Queensland

3.1

October 31, 2026

What's New in Version 3.1 Bushfires in Queensland is now optimized for iPhone Duo. The map, fire details and menus adapt as you fold and unfold your phone, and nothing hides behind the status bar along the edge of the outer display. On larger screens, the legend, search and settings panels keep a comfortable width instead of stretching across the whole display. Fixes: the welcome message can always be dismissed, and fire details stay fully on screen instead of being cut off when there isn't room below the map. This version requires iOS 17 or later. Stay safe out there!

No fires data actually showing on map

The promo looked good but on downloading the app for QLD there is no info on the map. It’s just a map! I gave a donation but now wonder what for!

Response from developer

This is strange. Tap the button and select the ? Button. In the bottom there is my email. Please send me an email of how it looks, what device and iOS version you are using and I will help you. Thanks for reaching out. Cheers Sebastian

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.

Response from developer

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!
