★★★★ Sharnell Sweeney 10/6/2025 v2.4.9
6 notifications now 🤬 So far it's been very good unfortunately I'm now getting annoying double notifications
★★★★ Kevin Pinel 11/24/2024 v2.4.7
There is a fire about 25km from me that was listed up until a few minutes ago. There are units in attendance but the app states nothing within 250km. Not good if you need to keep an eye out for fires
★★★★ Robert Morris 10/8/2024 v2.4.7
Always playing up. Not updating or keep sending message on same fire
★★★★ Shane Green 8/31/2024 v2.4.7
The app has stopped working and not sending me notifications
★★★★ Leo McDonald 5/22/2024 v2.4.7
Can't get information closer than 250km from home
★★★★ Bush Bunny 12/25/2023 v2.4.7
Not as expected.. More information about current bans would handy. Not everyone has FB..
★★★★ Kathryn Robson 12/20/2023 v2.4.7
Wouldn't even rate it 1 star, it's below that...have had nothing but trouble since I PURCHASED the app...still having issues...
★★★★ Gavin Dunkley 10/25/2023 v2.4.6
trouble setting radius, only 50klm never works , time to find one that does, *
★★★★ Jo Barkworth 9/8/2023 v2.4.2
Half the sections aren't functioning. Can't use settings. Big disappointment.
★★★★ Andrea Epple 9/5/2023 v2.3.0
Not up to date does not show all fires
★★★★ Cheryl Rasmussen 9/14/2022 v2.3.0
Not at all accurate! Have had fires burning around us for weeks but not one shown on the map
★★★★ Helen Reeves 4/14/2022 v2.3.0
Still no satellite map, just a generic map. Sacrificed what was good to stick in a rain radar that everyone most likely already has on a weather app.
★★★★ Gerry Phipps 2/8/2022 v2.2.3.2
Not a bad app, however is not a patch compared to Vic Emergency API, as this API requires notifications to automatically be deleted once any incident is finished from this app, the same way "Vic Emergency" API works.
★★★★ Johnathon Morley 6/5/2021 v2.2.1
Hi I'm a rural firefighter and use this app all the time but it has stopped working can you please fix it as I need it
★★★★ Dazz Thomas 5/29/2021 v2.2.0
I'm a fire fighter I use this app all the time to be kept up to date with fires in my area but it hasn't been working lately so it can not be used at all
★★★★ Nicole Thomas 5/29/2021 v2.2.0
This app use to work awesome and I used it all the time and now nothing
★★★★ chris vieritz 3/9/2021 v2.1.2
Broken ...
★★★★ A Google user 1/22/2020 v2.0.3.3
No information on notification
★★★★ A Google user 1/4/2020 v2.0.3.3
This is the crappiest fire app. It won't let you use it without location on. It's not worth the 99cents 😠 If I could give it negative stars I would
★★★★ A Google user 1/2/2020 v2.0.3.3
Every time I get a notification it comes twice. That's un-necessary. Also this app doesnt show extent of fire grounds (where the fire has burned so far) like the nsw app. Or rather I can't get it to show if it's supposed to. Only able to see pinpoints where fires originally start.
★★★★★ Steve Hume 4/4/2026 v2.4.11
Not real useful. Same info as the free web page. You can't set a region area for alerts.
★★★★★ Free Press 9/10/2025 v2.4.9
is there any way of just showing local watch zone fires instead of all Qld? map defaults to far nth Qld.
★★★★★ Jason Shean 2/23/2025 v2.4.7
Needs an updated version for Android
★★★★★ Craig 8/29/2024 v2.4.7
App keeps loading old incidents. They keep notification every 20 mins and can't get information of incident
★★★★★ Matt Allsop 8/16/2024 v2.4.7
I have had the same notification come over about 150 times today its a bloody joke
★★★★★ Warren Wieck 8/16/2024 v2.4.7
It's been a grate app but now I'm getting 20 plus notifications for a incident that was cleared off the map hrs ago
★★★★★ Tim Laurie 2/8/2024 v2.4.7
Notifications are useless and do not work. Would prefer to use the app to its full capabilities but it's impossible
★★★★★ Tammy koole 12/30/2023
I needed an app to track fire ban notices for my region but unfortunately it doesn't even have my town location. Clermont is under isacc region, and yet this app stops at Moranbah. Get it together!
★★★★★ Vicki Trewella 11/3/2023 v2.4.7
I feel this app is very poorly designed and is not user friendly. It's also VERY different on other phone types. Eg: Android and iPhone. The information is lacking and very late in updating. I'm very disappointed with it considering that I had to pay for it!
★★★★★ Tracey Stark 10/25/2023 v2.4.6
This app would be great but struggling with settings and setting a radius. I only want to see what is local to me. Not all of Qld.
★★★★★ Simon Moeser 10/24/2023 v2.4.5
Not much info or search settings, maps aren't very good
★★★★★ Tonina Bourbon 9/18/2023 v2.4.4
Settings isn't working
★★★★★ Bob Cullen 8/26/2023 v2.3.0
As a Qld RFS Fire fighter I find this App is very slow to update. Even with a 5 min update setting some displays are 9-10 hours behind.
★★★★★ Barry Masters 3/16/2023 v2.3.0
Hi there I have had this app on my old phone for a long time & I had to get a new phone and I went to download the app on my new phone and I noticed that I had to pay for it and I did but I would think that it would be free to all they rual fire badge as it is a handy app for us to watch & find out where the fires are .so I think it should be free.
★★★★★ Sue Burgess 3/22/2022 v2.2.3.2
Used to be great, but maps suddenly stopped working. Please fix.
★★★★★ S Hobbs 10/12/2021 v2.2.3.2
The app get stuck and continues to alert you of incidents that took place days ago.
★★★★★ Jaynne Plumridge 5/27/2021 v2.0.3.3
Not updating correctly. Can not set watch zone. Notifications come through with incorrect information. No current fire information can be found, yet QFES have had updates on incidents on their website
★★★★★ A Google user 3/26/2021 v2.2.0
I just updated now I'm not getting a map and my watch zone is not showing up.
★★★★★ Tracey L Smith 5/7/2020 v2.0.3.3
Today I can only give a 2 as the app is not working. At other I would give a 9 as the app is really easy to use.
★★★★★ A Google user 12/19/2019 v2.0.3.3
Not up to date. Fires nearby that arnt on the map. Very disappointing
