Great app!

Worth the $2. Very handy and informative.

Should be able to see Road Rescue And all others blocked out as per your selection

Qld Fires

Since I just downloaded it yesterday, it's still early days, but so far, this fire position app looks pretty spot on. We'll see how it performs over time!

Super buggy

Won’t load the pixels on map. Freezes on each screen. Used to work but doesn’t anymore

Thank you

Followed our bush fire and was kept informed

Good concept… but needs work

The app does a good job of bringing information to one place, however is extremely unstable and slow. In most cases, I’m needing to force quit the app up to 3-4 times before it loads correctly. Then when it does load, the app is extremely slow, just pressing the back button from a fire can take up to 20-30 seconds before the action happens. It would also be nice if Aircraft could be displayed like ‘Bushfire.io’ does. As well as wind particles instead of the indication arrows. The wind particles give a much better indication of fire behaviour.

Back button not working

Hi. Anywhere there’s a back button it won’t work. Settings, more info etc, back button does nothing. I have to go out and back in to get back to main screen.

Can’t delete watch zones

App keeps adding watch zones I can’t delete.

Fabulous

Get notified immediately of a fire or crash in your selected area.

Repeating notifiction

App generally very good how ever at this time I am getting a repeating notification of a permitted burn in my watch zone. It is not registering on the list or map and just keeps advising of the incident. Really annoying.

No live map with google option?

When did the live map change to apple maps only? Needs google maps with life traffic to come back.

Sadly it doesn’t always show areas in the lockyer valley region

The lockyer valley seems to be a blind spot when it comes to this app there is a fire atm which is about 5-8 kms away and ems is in attendance yet nothing on the app it’s been going for a while given that end are there. This is often the case for fires in the area and road crashes where fire trucks are in attendance out here nothing appears on this app

Map won’t load

Map won’t load, tried closing and reopening and still won’t work.

Great update

New update brings it into line like the other states with the same mapping detail and icons used for fires. It seems all bugs are fixed, like the constant map freezing and freezing from changing from map to data.
Looks great and Scrolls effortlessly.

Excellent coverage ✅✅

Great App

Great informative app. Can be slow or freeze completely when moving from maps back to main page.

Highly recommend - simple, informative, clear

Love the map view for understanding what’s going on, and the ability to set a watch area & get alerts when fires happen close to home. This app was recommended to me by a QFES worker, very glad to have it.

Review

App is very laggy, and doesn’t load

Good info… but keeps freezing

A very important app with good information. However it often freezes when viewing maps which is very frustrating.
