Trash

App is not real time and possibly not even real

Disappointed

3 years ago, I found this to be informative. For the last year or so, with many fires with a last update 3 or more weeks ago. New fires are not shown for several days or more. Or not at all. Not much value to me.

Not listed

I live in South West Oregon & there has been a large fire in Agnest, Oregon for a couple days & wanted to find specific information on this fire & nothing. So far, not impressed

Not worth paying for..

I live in an area where there are usually active fires. This app did not display the two I know were burning in my area. There is another free app that had the fires.

Useless.

A fire started a mile from my house in the forest. Not a single mention of this fire. Homes were evacuated, still no mention of the fire.

Cripple creek fire

The fire nearest to me is not listed. It’s 386 acres.

Not up to date

The Colorado wild fires aren’t showing up 3 days later

No bueno

I have driven past active fires, and gotten texts from others first. This does not report much and if it does, it’s all over. Not what I want. I could read the newspaper for more timely notification.

Helpful

Great to be able to avoid fires when traveling

Fire status

We have had fires active for more than a week, burned homes and towns. And they don’t show up until the fire is almost out.
What good does that do?

Good display, not nearly enough selections

I like the maps. They let you know what’s happening and where. But there aren’t enough choices to focus on items or areas of interest. For examples, one cannot directly select by state or choose a distance around a city or the user’s own home or phone. Right now here in California, we have a smorgasbord of fires to choose from as topics. However, I would very much like to be able to get details between my home and San Jose so I can pick a route easily.

Not accurate

Does not show current fires on map.

Lincoln City Oregon

We are in the process of evacuating our hospital yet this fire is not visible on your app🤬

Great for quick reference.

I use this for quick yet detailed reference. Easy to use. Very satisfied.

Not Up To Date

Not up to date whatsoever. My whole area is being evacuated for a fire that isn’t even on the map

Fire app

I think another feature you may want to consider adding is a smoke overlay/layer and a layer to show burned areas.

Love this app though and we use it often because of where we live.

Where’s the fire???

There is a major fire 20 miles away from my family’s home and this doesn’t show anything. This app isn’t keeping up with most of the fires in Colorado or surrounding areas.

Lousy with updates

I bought this app when the LNU complex started near our home in the North Bay Area in August of 2020. For days it showed a small portion of the fire but hadn’t been updated as the fire spread. By the time we were under mandatory evacuation due to another fire that had been growing for a couple of days, it still didn’t even show it on updated maps. Save your money and use caltopo.com

Misses really major fires

Totally missed - for over a week - two major fires in Santa Rosa, CA area and another in Napa, CA area. Not a real app.

Useless

Does not show fires anywhere near my area and developer does not seem to care. I paid my money and got nothing!
