About 2 hours late to notify for fire in area
Fire in 20 mile radius that was pretty bad got notified after 2 hours. Likely i use non profit app and they notified me 5 minutes after fire started
No info for large, nearby fire.
There’s a wildfire that’s burned 1,300 acres less than 10 miles from my house; started more than 10 hours ago. The incident doesn’t show up in this app at all (neither on the map nor in the list).
Good updates to mas
I have enjoyed this app. I have followed numerous fires and have found the information reliable. Fast interface. Comprehensive coverage.
Amazing app! except for one thing.
So this app is AMAZING at tracking fires except whenever I use it for a few minutes it starts glitching out and the screen freezes. I don’t know if it’s my device or the app itself but it is very glitchy and my device has not had that problem. Other than that it is an amazing app! I recommend this app for people who want to know if there is a fire near the area, people who have a lot of wildfires, and people who like to plan early and get prepared for a wildfire.

Decent app
The app is pretty good but the only thing I don’t understand is the camera option, when you turn on the camera filter and select a camera it doesn’t show anything and I don’t know what it’s suppose to show , it doesn’t work
It’s All We Have
Better than Facebook for factual updates, infinitely better than Cal Fire for timeliness, it’s a literal lifesaver
Not accurate
There was a fire yesterday where people were being evacuated and this app doesn’t even show it!!!!!
THE app to keep track of weather and fire conditions
The title says it all
Idaho
I was in Stanley Idaho for a couple of days and the smoke was like breathing in a barbecue . I imagine it was a lot worse for the fire fighters and people right next to the fire . I would not advise traveling there if you can’t handle the smoke and headaches.
Amazing app!,
I live in the most places with forest fires or around and this app tells me everything thanks!
Nice app
Works great
Its OK. Funky UX, expensive
Was disappointed in the UX and the timeliness of the reporting. Data seems slow to populate. UX is kind of funky. Its also kind of expensive.
Now fixed…
Addendum #2: Glad I kept nagging. The problems described below are now fixed (+3*s). I look forward to this app providing warnings for the upcoming fire season.
Original review: This app is sending me alerts that satellites have detected fires in a large area of E. Canada that I have delineated… yet absolutely nothing shows up on the map for any sensor methods. Then today: “a fire near you.” Nada. The lists are even worse — all categories totally empty. Clearly this app has been abandoned. Complete waste of a $30 subscription. (Dev: please don’t suggest uninstalling, reinstalling, blah, blah. Done that twice. No difference.)
Addendum #1: Yes, the lists populate now. But the map in Eastern Canada, still nada. The alerts for the large portion of western Quebec that I outlined now zoom in with a detailed little pop-up but NOTHING shows up on the map.

Response from developer
The problem was on our end- there was a data outage that affected agency-reported fires. It's fixed now. A quit and reopen of the app should show all the current US and Canada fires.

Information in a hellish time when decisions to flee and which direction must be made. Mistakes cost lives.
Great tool
Very easy to keep up with where the problem s are
Worked great at first, now useless
Like so many others, we’re dealing with fires cropping up constantly right now. We live on a horse farm and need as much possible advance warning as possible if we have to load horses. This app started out great a few weeks ago when I subscribed. I used it everyday. Now, for some reason, it no longer shows any fires anywhere. And, it keeps dumping my subscription. I bought an annual subscription about 4 weeks ago. I have tried every adjustment, I’ve restarted my phone, I’ve dumped and reloaded the app. It restored my subscription once. Now, nothing. I tried contacting the developer and got no response. Nothing left to do but ask Apple to refund. I’m sad because when it worked it was great. Now it’s completely useless.
