## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2023-06-02*

The app sends out a notification, but doesn’t show the information sent to you for the update.  It should show each county or area with a color status if allowed or not allowed for fireman’s or ATV use.

### 1/5 — Functions don’t work

*2021-04-29*

Search function doesn’t work. App is glitchy. When you try to swipe up to read the ban information it automatically zooms you out of  the map so you can’t read the info. Overall isn’t very useful, about what you’d expect  from the Alberta Government.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2020-05-12*

Keeps zooming out when swipe up to read description/bans witch makes app useless.

### 1/5 — Needs some tuning

*2018-07-15*

Great potential. Will be very handy when the bugs are fixed. 
 Can not zoom in on the map, instantly returns to home icon screen when attempting to zoom in.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2018-05-27*

For starters, apps need to load to work, quickly if you want people to use them. This one will load, after spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to connect and download the new data. Obviously designed for places with faster internet and not country internet. Once you get into the app you will find you still need to traverse through all the different websites looking at what fire bans and advisories are on because this app fails to collect the data it is supposed to and display it in one place. 

If they fix these 2 issues it has the potential to be a great app.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-05-16*

Tries to download maps and alerts but crashes before doing so. Useless until this bug is fixed.
Has potential but unrealized until de-bugged.

### 2/5 — Colour chart and map dont match

*2025-06-16*

The colours on the map and the legend to determine fire hazard don’t even match. Poorly designed app.

### 2/5 — Good app, poor performance

*2020-05-19*

The layout is good but it is slow, glitches and does not consistently deliver notifications

### 2/5 — Works...sorta

*2018-05-16*

Doesn't work on my iPad but does work on my phone.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-05-11*

This does exactly what a member of the public would need to know for fire ban information. Will be using this on a regular basis!
