What's New in TasALERT

1.7.2

July 6, 2026

* Minor updates and bug fixes

User reviews

Needs upgrades

The app is ok, but very basic with information.

Would be good to have road names and places on satellite view, helps with identifying where incidents are with more accuracy.

When selecting or deselecting layers, it doesn’t change on the map, I’ve deleted app multiple times and reinstalled with no changes.

More detailed information on incidents, especially bush fires would be useful.

Wind layer and lightning layer would also make the app much better.

Burn notices

Essential in an emergency however you keep getting notification of “burn notices” for your area but can not check on when they are scheduled for or where they are.

Won’t update

Routinely returns to the first day it was installed and will not update. Definitely cannot depend on this.

Screen size

This app used to support fullscreen on iPad. Since update mobile format only but still does job intended. Not as easy to search as older version.

Needs Work.

Way too many needless alerts that keep repeating. Turned off alerts for permit burns and still get them again and again. I must have received 50 alerts for the Promise Land in the last few days. I also receive alerts for outside the watch area I set.
Great idea but needs some serious fine tuning and more option buttons that actually work.
