Amazing
This app is amazing but to make it better than need to add widgets so then we can see it on our phone homepage
Doesnât function usefully
Seemed like it was going to be useful, but as it just ignores your settings for which notifications you want to receive, itâs actually just annoying and useless. Oh, and it loves to notify you relentlessly about the same thing over and over, at any hour of the day or night. It especially loves to make noise at night. So Iâm deleting it and will just take my chances when an actual emergency eventuates. Yet again, government produces archaic useless results at huge taxpayer expense.

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 doesnât change on the map, Iâve 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 âburn noticesâ for your area but can not check on when they are scheduled for or where they are.
Wonât 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.

Useless app
Canât setup a watch area for alerts. The form submit button does not work no matter what you do. The back button also navigates out of the form if you hit the â?â button and are finished reading it.
A real shame taxpayer money is used to create an app with an experience this bad.

Great idea down by multiple alerts
This is a Great idea down by multiple alerts. Every time tome it sends you an alert about something it sends it 4 or 5 times. It is so annoying needing to acknowledge the same alert over and over and over.
River Derwent River
Misnaming?
Hayes was borne in Cumbria and named the river after the Derwent that flows into Derwent Water Keswick ...

Rubbish app
Rubbish app spent $500k to update it and it send you three notifications for the same thing. Click on the closed roads and no link with info.
Know your river name !
Great App⊠but!!!
The river flowing into Hobart is called THE RIVER DERWENT and NOT the Derwent River. It was first named by John Hayes in 1793 because it reminded him of the River Derwent bordering North Yorkshire in England. It is named on Tasmanian maps as THE RIVER DERWENT. Please check this. Every time you mention it in your alerts you misname it.

Not Great
Government spruiking as a new app but AppStore says over 4-Years old.
Feels old and poorly designed. Not user friendly at all and hard to understand whatâs going on.
Probably what youâd expect on a low budget from a government.

Happy days
This is such a great app - where has it been all my life? Makes understand warnings happening in my area so much easier - thank you!
Great initiative
Well overdue, well done. My new go-to app, especially when fire season arrives!
Use WillyWeather
Exactly as expected from a government app, so Iâm smugly satisfied that I didnât expect much.
What it does well is highlight alerts on a map so you can see threat levels, description and the area itself.
However, trying to navigate the map is clunky and the app crashes often. Thereâs no alert notifications because it doesnât have an option to track your location when youâre not using the app.
This app already does what other apps do, itâs just been paid for by the taxpayer and does both a worse job, has more issues and probably costs more.
Get WillyWeather, itâs free and gives accurate updates and warnings based on your location. Keep this crappy app too because it still does its job even if itâs poorly.

Extra alerts
It would be good I think, if TAS network outages could also be on this app
Warnings??
Just installed app, BOM site currently shows 4 warnings, TasALERT shows none? Weather warnings are showing under âincidentsââŠ..
Adding a alert location doesnât work
Why release an app if it doesnât work properly please check and fix
