Comments on Emergency AUS for Android
★★★★★
So upset that this excellent app has been retired! We would pay for it. It
has been so valuable in rural queensland to our fire brigades and
residents. Please come back!
★★★★★
Not sure about the other states but EmergencyWA is a Web page not an app,
so no audible alerts to wake you if a fire is coming. I always preferred
Emergency Aus
★★★★★
Sad to see it go. This app worked well until recently and has now been
retired. It's a shame it's no longer supported because it did what it was
meant to and it was simple.
★★☆☆☆
Rubbish, had a bushfire at the end of my street and the alert was there but didn't alert me being in the watch zone, same thing for a motor vehicle accident happened in the watch zone, no alert sent out so basically rubbish app no help at all. I did notice someone else mentioned it doesn't work unless on WiFi - I don't have WiFi so possibly why it doesn't do what I thought I should do by alerting me when an incident hsppens in a watch zone.
★★☆☆☆
as being state emergency services this app is needed highly and it not obviously working today so a 1 star since i cant hit and miss days it has to work completely
★★☆☆☆
Is there a problem with the sync between emergency services' feeds and your
app? No incidents showing up in app. I am not getting notifications on my
phone any more.
★★☆☆☆
Watch zones don't work... too many notifications from outside watch zone results in ignoring all notifications. Please fix as the idea is great particularly for those of us living in high bush fire risk areas.
