Introducing Version 2.0.1 We are thrilled to announce the launch of Version 2.0.1, now offering an innovative offline feature and a refreshing update to our iconography for a more intuitive user experience. In previous versions, while you could access fire information within the app while connected to a network, you were left in the dark when your travels took you off the grid. The vital fire information you needed would simply vanish without a cellular connection, leaving you unaware of the current conditions. In Version 2.0.1, we've implemented a game-changing solution. The app now has the ability to store the latest fetched information locally, ensuring that it remains readily available to you, even when you find yourself without a network connection. Furthermore, we've updated the information icon from the traditional 'I' to a fiery flame image, better reflecting the nature of the data at your fingertips. This means you'll always have access to the most recent data available, keeping you informed of the potential dangers around you. We are confident that these new features will significantly enhance your safety and understanding while venturing into the wild. Stay tuned for more innovative updates as we continue to improve and expand our services. Enjoy your travels and stay safe with Version 2.0.1! 2.0.1 fixes an issue where the share button would crash on iPads.

Version 1.4.1 is here! This version was created after I got some great feedback from a person using this app. He had some things he thought would improve the app, and they all were great ideas so here's what's new! • The reported date in the map pin should be more visible and in the local time zone, now it is! • The map pins should have the last time they were updated added to them, now they do! • I should make it easier to give feedback about the app. So now if you click the "?" button you can see my email and Twitter handle so you can give feedback about the app more easily. • This version also fixes a dark mode bug that made the number of vehicles invisible when in light mode and some other under the hood improvements. • This version introduces a new button that hides all the other buttons so that all the buttons don't use up all the screen area and covers the map pins. The buttons have also been moved to the bottom right corner to not cover the compass that shows up when you rotate the map. • All time formats are now in Am/PM style. • Small UI tweaks and a helping hint if you press the updated date on the map. Thanks again for the feedback, this version would not have been possible without it!

Version 1.3.1 • This version is for all the people out there who have loved ones over in Australia, Queensland. If you’re not in Australia, then it’s kind of a pain to always search or scroll all the way over there. But with this version, you have the search option to always start the app at the search location! • Autocomplete on search! The search has been improved a lot! First of all, the search mainly focuses on Australia QLD so if you have similar names on towns that are near where you live the search will find the city in Australia QLD. Second of all, the autocomplete. Now when you start to type a search you will see suggestions in a list below. That way you know if you are spelling it correctly or if the map search will find your search query. • Fix for a timezone bug in the updated label at the top. Thanks a lot for the feedback, this version would not have been possible without it!  Stay safe out there!

Version 1.2 New in this version is • If you give a tip the tip button is removed from the map, so it doesn't use up map space. (To the ONE person who has payed for this app, send an email to sebastian.bolling at gmail.com and I will send you a promotion code that will remove the tip button from your screen ) • If you click a map icon, the text inside now starts with vehicles on site and vehicles on route. • A new statistics button! It shows the current number of vehicles on scene and vehicles on route in all of Queensland. The thought is to get an overview of if the fires are getting better or worse. Each time you launch the app the value gets stored and if you click the button you will get a graph of how the numbers are progressing. The graph will show 1 point of data per day, and 0 on the X axis is today, 1 is one day back, 2 is two days back and so forth. If you refresh or start the app multiple times one day the current value will get the average value for that day. As you look at the total number of vehicles out there it’s clear that there is a lot of good men and women out there fighting these fires. Thank them if you get the chance! Stay safe out there!
