Doesn't work, fails to load the relevant pages, on Android 6.01 moto g3
Gets to initialising (with no interruptions) with round symbol going round and that's were it stays. Have rebooted, uninstalling etc but no luck
I have tried to update the app and will not get past initializing stage even after reinstalling app
Thank u guys its help us a lot :0)
Would be good if it linked to radio broadcast and had shire spesific informatin on app rather than going to Internet
Works for me on Bauhn Android.
This app needs google maps for every state. Why no maps for WA and NT
Nothing here that isn't already in my favourites or on Twitter. DFES, ABC radio, etc links. No feeds like I expected or worthwhile maps. One of the few apps I have tried and deleted. Android version only gives you a sliver of a screen with a big red headline Are you bushfire ready? Obnoxious advert. Satellite image doesn't have any info on it. Go to Myfirewatch.Landgate for mapping stuff.
The app looks and perform well so far. I have only used it for a short time, but time will tell. One thing I would like to see is the red bar are you prepared, at the bottom of the page. It would allow the screen to be better utilised, save some scrolling time and less overshoots.
Not working properly. Link from fire bans to rfs isn't working.
Easy to find relevant information quickly without all the hand holding, out of date rubbish that comes with Fire Ready.
When you take a day off and head to the Dunolly bush to gold detect and smell smoke! Downloaded this app and found all is well, but I was ready to evacuate, nice to have when needed, great app. Saved a lot of panic.
This app is an excellent source of information for me. As a fire researcher in Germany, getting information from all Australian state agencies is a time consuming task. This app brings all the relevant information into one easy to use app. 5 stars.
Great app very informative.
Awesome! Instead of downloading separate apps, it's all in the one!!! Great for the nomad community! Thank You!
This does not alert me to any fires in my area and is not as good as fire ready which I will now return to
Great App. Worth the download
Functional better than can app
Rating team… that's backdraft stuff… NYFD… fire supervisors supervisor… an Pct.Captain of OUR TEAM !!! Win my fifth star… ooh… like the supports… GUESS…. &product… 10-4… #51**… 1970's Whoo, Whoo, Whoa, Whoo, Whoo…
Very informative and loads quickly.
Told me where a fire was tonight as smoke was filling the house.
Very detailed and informative!
Fantastic information thanks
Great app with lots of useful information.
No fires shown in QLD. Fires everywhere else are always the same and never updated.
No updates since 2014, all links and RSS feeds broken in Western Australia. Look elsewhere for bushfire alerts.
