The best
Just finished a 21 day roll and did weather every hour on the hour. This app saved me so much time and headache. Would gladly pay for it but it’s FREE or was when I downloaded it a few years ago.25498326
Not bad
App is okay for $5. You do get a lot of helpful stuff and is perfect for rookies and those that need extra guides to help with retention. Could use more pictures in some areas. Biggest problem for me was how the pack test timer was such a disappointment. I compared the pack test timer accuracy with almost every other app and it fails. I ran the app concurrently with others and the only thing that stayed correct was the time and almost the speed but the distance was off. I’ve completed the pack test many times with multiple apps and with the pack test timer always said I’ve only completed .03-.30 miles in 45 minutes.Show lessenter nickname 123
Awesome
I have used this app for several years
1:Great for expanding knowledge
2:Great for keeping knowledge
3:Great for rainy days
4:Great for quizzing and training Rookies, experienced Crew members
5: Easily identifying resources, fuel types, weather patterns
6: Refreshing during Preseason
7: I always recommend this app to anyone with an iPhone above all others( but wish my android guys could have it too)
8: Irpg backup
All in all, very useful, accurate app, hope to see expansions (task books, more class quizzes, 10 and 18 quiz (for memorizing), Pump/Saw troubleshooting, Hose lay calculations)etc.
If this app keeps growing, could be no.1 app for fire guys, keep it up and thank you!

Errors in FDFM
use App B or IRPG for correct number
Reads out in feet & not National standard of Chains per hourBC621
Developer Response
The numbers have been field tested for 10 years now. Can you email an example? Keep in mind that many of the tables in App B are approximations and in some cases more accurate math formulas exist. Most people prefer feet/min over chains/hour, and they are basically the same (within 10%, and the rates of spread are rough approximations anyway). The few people who prefer chains just convert to feet/min in their head anyway.Great App
It’s great to have a consolidated grouping of all the forms that I need, but the price is a little high in my opinion.chafemeister21

Hey, it's a cup of coffee! Try out the fire behavior stuff, that's where the real value comes in.Not enough info for $5
Definitely not worth $5! Trust me. This is a basic app..®
A must have
Great field resource. Accurate fire calculation tools, quick and easy to use.Jwhisler
Decent app, but lacks accuracy.
This app is pretty good; useful is quickly calculating weather observations, fdfm, and PIG when precision isn't crucial (ie. to get a general idea). However, the calculations aren't as accurate as using an actual belt weather kit. Also, with the recent addition of the firefighting aircraft, there is at least one error. The Blackhawk's nomenclature is incorrect, and coming from a military veteran who fights fire now, that disturbs me. The correct nomenclature is UH-60, not UH-50. There has never been a UH-50 blackhawk. Errors as simple as that in this app make me question the accuracy of the rest of the app features.Show lessmohgo

You can input numbers from a belt weather kit if you like, or use a kestrel, it's up to you. The source of your data doesn't affect the accuracy of the calculations that follow.IRPG on iPhone... Perfect.
Good reference tool. Purchased to support dev in hopes of ongoing development. Thanks.SCHKR

Great app. A lot of useful features. However the calculations used in the fire behavior portion are wrong.Thresse
