Very useful

This app has been helpful since I use it. Thank you!

Useless App-don’t be fooled

AB gov, you can see the poor rating for this App; why aren’t you fixing it? Ppl want an app to show wildfires in real time; this may be ok for the researchers who study wildfires but useless for travellers & residents. AB gov, do better & offer an App like the BC Wildfire Service Mobile App!

May 2025

Not showing any wildfires??? There Evacuations occurring in northern Alberta all this week yet it shows no wildfires except two that are under control that are holding movers from 2020 in one case. Either fix it or take it off - unreliable.

NOT Accurate

This app doesn’t match the AEA app. Not exactly sure why it doesn’t. Where does this app get its info????

Im more inclined to trust the AEA app.

UPDATE:
Also I just learned of a fire that isn’t even on this app! It started yesterday. People were being evacuated and this app showed NOTHING!

This app is a joke

Go see how BC does the same thing but in a different league.

Real time?

Jasper Alberta is actually on fire and the app shows nothing. The reason I want an app is for real time updates. This one doesn’t work that well.

Filter by date

Hey guys
I working in Alberta Wildfire
From experience of using this great app - we need options to filter fires by date.
I see you have data stored showing when fire was foun
Would be great to attach filter by date
Like today, this week, this month and so on
Thanks for your work it’s great app

Poor info

Why does this app still have fires on it from 2023??

Good app but…

Only reports on specific areas of Alberta, (forest fires only?). So, no grass fires and no fires outside of Alberta borders that might be moving into Alberta.

A wildfire is an unplanned, unwanted fire burning in a natural area, such as a forest, grassland, or prairie.

If the app is only going to show fires in forested areas then it should be called Alberta Forest Fires.
If it’s has the Alberta name on it shouldn’t it include all of Alberta.

Way better then acgris

Honestly most people complaining don’t get the fact that A: it’s based of the governments website and B: OF COURSE ITS NOT GONNA SHOW GRASS FIRES its literally called Alberta wildfire, anyways nice ui

Most useless App ever!

What a waste to spend our tax dollars for such terrible designed useless App.

wildfire updates weeks old

Many of the wildfire on the map are outdated, many of the fires on the map show active but in reality the fires have been contained or are completely gone, yet app shows still active.

Fix it i’m evacuated and it dosn’t show the fire

DO WHAT THE TITLE SAYS OR ELSE I GIVE THIS A 0

Useless

What a useless app. There’s a monster fire on my doorstep and the app doesn’t show it. Deleted!

Accurate?

This app doesn’t match the AEA app. Not exactly sure why it doesn’t. Where does this app get its info????

Im more inclined to trust the AEA app.

Ok app

Needs to
Be updated frequently to keep everyone informed better.

Alberta wildfire

Worst app l have on my phone not worth the time to down load when you try to expand the map the towns are unreadable typical government work put it out in the private sector where it's done right the old fire appp that dosent work anymore was 100 times better

app does not update wildfires

i live in the northern part of alberta. we have 3 active out of control wildfires near us. all of which have not been updated in over 3 days. my father is working on the largest one. the wildfire that is twice as large as what is stated on the website. this is absolutely unacceptable. especially for a government website. keep us safe, UPDATE THE WILDFIRES.

Bad no info

This app is terrible no information on if person are being evacuated no when you try to zoom in because the writing is too small to see it just gets smaller no I could go on and on typically what you would expect from a government app
