### 5/5 — Fire mapping for dummies

*2014-08-31*

Love this, keep it simple!

### 4/5 — Great when it works

*2014-07-01*

When the app works properly it is great, but every now and then it crashes and you lose everything.

### 3/5 — It's almost there!

*2014-05-06*

App needs to provide the ability to draw in fire lines and control line. 
Currently it's not worth the $5 bucks without the control line and fire line function.

Would be four star plus if the fire/control line function is added in.
