VicEmergency for Android

I made the mistake of updating to this current version. The first map is very small and the second map very disjointed when I try to re-navigate and/or zoom into the incidents. There are no details as to the size or type of "incident" and I'm finding the whole app very klunky and not overly helpful. I'm going to rely on the CFA website and radio otherwise I'll end up throwing my Android 4 out in frustration! ;) I really liked the old version though!

While on one hand an old Android 3GS isn't exactly a racehorse, there is nothing in this app that should require the added oomph of an Android 5. As it stands the app is klunky and non-responsive. Updates take forever. To put it flippantly: if you rely on this, you may find flames licking on your doorstep before it shows you a current status! Badly needs refactoring and performance tuning! For now I'll rely on the website on and on ABC radio.

Very innovative app and great content!!!! Would recommend a return/ back to app button when linked to website so you don't have to re-open app to explore other features.

Heard about this app through an Australian friend. Simply amazing. The developer and the government department who initiated this is to be congratulated! All fire authorities should make development of apps like this standard. Well done!
