I am writing this review at 10:40pm. WTF. ### 4/5 — Non stop of same notification *2026-06-25* I love this app, but just after lunch today a notification that came through just after 9:00am started coming through again about every five minutes. It is nearly 7:30pm and they are still coming through. Will have to turn the app off tonight to get some sleep. ### 4/5 — Mr Chris *2026-02-20, version 4.1.6* Should be able to see Road Rescue And all others blocked out as per your selection ### 2/5 — Good concept… but needs work *2025-10-03, version 4.0.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Mr Cris *2025-08-23, version 4.0.3* Should only be able to see Road Rescue And all others blocked out ### 3/5 — Back button not working *2024-11-08, version 4.0.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Sadly it doesn’t always show areas in the lockyer valley region *2023-11-17* 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 ### 2/5 — Good info… but keeps freezing *2023-10-29, version 3.0.1* A very important app with good information. However it often freezes when viewing maps which is very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Has is been updated for latest iOS *2023-10-29, version 3.0.1* App keeps freezing on my iPad running iOS 17.0.2. ### 3/5 — Useful, but performance issues *2023-10-29, version 3.0.1* Very useful, and glad it is available, but freezes often. Need to restart to resolve. ### 4/5 — Notifications - app closing *2023-10-27, version 3.0.1* Is there a problem with this app? I am able to open app but as I’m reading or go into map the app closes?? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Super buggy *2025-10-21, version 4.1* Won’t load the pixels on map. Freezes on each screen. Used to work but doesn’t anymore ### 1/5 — Can’t delete watch zones *2024-11-08, version 4.0.3* App keeps adding watch zones I can’t delete. ### 1/5 — No live map with google option? *2023-11-28, version 3.1.2* When did the live map change to apple maps only? Needs google maps with life traffic to come back. ### 1/5 — Map won’t load *2023-11-01, version 3.1.1* Map won’t load, tried closing and reopening and still won’t work. ### 1/5 — Review *2023-10-30, version 3.0.1* App is very laggy, and doesn’t load ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-10-29, version 3.0.1* You really need to take note of the app NSW use and copy it. This app is all but useless, constantly freezes, gives you pretty much zero information. I have a fire near me at the moment, the app won’t work. Do better. ### 1/5 — It’s a fail at the moment *2023-10-28, version 3.0.1* Every time I open the map the app locks up . Cannot zoom in to a fire location app just freezes. Till this fixed the app is useless ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2023-10-27, version 3.0.1* I have just downloaded this app and am unable to use the map or anything there after because it freezes up. The only way to exit is to close out. I wouldn’t have spent the $2 knowing that it is otherwise useless to me. ### 1/5 — QLD app fail *2023-10-27, version 3.0.1* Your state map keeps freezing and cant zoom in or out 🤷🏻‍♂️ In this day and age or even 20 years ago, this issue shouldnt even exist, how hard is it to get things right 🙄 ### 1/5 — Steve *2023-10-27, version 3.0.1* There is bushfires all around my area download this app for $2 bucks for our safety as per previous reviews it’s a waste of time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-02-21, version 4.1.6* Worth the $2. Very handy and informative. ### 5/5 — Qld Fires *2025-11-05, version 4.1.4* 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! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-10-10, version 4.1* Followed our bush fire and was kept informed ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2024-10-06, version 4.0.3* Get notified immediately of a fire or crash in your selected area. ### 5/5 — Repeating notifiction *2024-08-29, version 4.0.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Great update *2023-11-01* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent coverage ✅✅ *2023-10-31, version 3.0.1* By ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-10-31, version 3.0.1* Great informative app. Can be slow or freeze completely when moving from maps back to main page. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend - simple, informative, clear *2023-10-31* 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. ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2023-10-28, version 3.0.1* Always useful and accurate a great app for staying up to date --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
