Urgent update ASAP

Malenika44 on

Australia

This Vic emergency app needs to be updated as soon as possible as it is a very important app for people who live in Australia and also throughout Victoria. This is a very urgent and very important love for all people to use so we can keep track of is happening.

So many notifications

jcb.1982 on

Australia

Having so many notification takes away from the ones that are actually important.

Useless as the proverbial on a bull.

Today, and not the first time, a major accident I passed by. Dandenong Road and Warragul. Closed with cars everywhere, police, tow trucks. Traffic not moving. Go to VicEmergency app and zero on it. Zilch. Typical of anything the Vic Labor Government do it seems.

Five out of five star no drama

Good

Pls make a dark icon

Josh the Bosh on

Hey guys can you please make a dark version of the app icon because it's really messing with the vibe of my phone layout at the moment, all the other have really cool looking dark icons and this one sticks out like a sore thumb. Thanks 👍

Notification stopped working

Begaras on

Australia

Again! Literally on the bring of fire season and suddenly notifications stop working. They only way I have found to fix it is deleting the app and setting the whole thing up again. Pathetic.

Fire

what a crock app on

Australia

Worst ever app doesn’t update regularly hate to be stuck somewhere in a fire with no updates absolutely useless

Update

Koalagirl011 on

Australia

One thing I have found is that information on incidents stays on the App for a long time, even well after it occurred, yet things that are happening at present aren’t showing up at all. It’s been 2 years since the App was last updated and I think it should be done regularly.

Please add dark mode icon

Please add dark mode icon for iOS 18!!!

Desperately in need of an update

frankfil on

Australia

Upgrade iOS and once again find that notifications have stoped working. Gone through the whole delete everything/restart/reinstall/reconfigure process and still doesn’t work. The app hasn’t been updated in 2+ years so I suspect it’s too out of date to work properly. Considering how important this app is you would think (hope?) it gets some badly need attention.
