### 1/5 — Grr

*2020-01-11*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Uses data from the gov site

*2021-09-24*

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 :)

### 5/5 — Essential

*2020-08-22*

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.

### 5/5 — Reliable data

*2019-11-20*

Necessary and accurate information. Timely app available for summer

### 5/5 — Does Exactly What It Says

*2019-11-20*

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 😄

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-11-18*

Important information and a great app for staying safe!

**Developer response:** ♥️
