Additional fees, no fema data for my property. Scammy

So…$5 for a moth of flood maps, but then another $3 a month for flood zone maps. Neither of which worked. I feel like I just got muggged.

We apologize that the app did not work correctly. Please try the newest version and let us know if the error persists. You can send feedback from inside the Flood Map app using the main menu and tap Send Feedback. This will provide our team with a diagnostic report to help fix any issues you've encountered.

Easier than FEMA website

If you need zone determinations this app is great and way better than the clunky fema site.

DONT DO IT

Very upsetting! I searched 3 different address’s and all say no fema data. What’s the point in paying for this app then. Terrible!

It’s a subscription

Didn’t realize that until after my purchase

Yes, there is a monthly subscription charge to keep the data up-to-date. We understand that this may not be desirable for all customers and apologize if we caused any confusion about the pricing structure. Thank you for the feedback about this.

Easy to use and does the job!

On my phone this app is easier to navigate than the FEMA site. The maps are clear and you can zoom in and show the structure in the zone. You need to know what you are looking at so that you can explain it to a property buyer, but all realtors should already know this.

Difficult to understand for newbie

No idea what blue, brown, or AE zone means. Should have overlay legend/description like typical maps. Reading map should be easy.

Thank you for the feedback. There is a legend in the main menu area, but it is for those who are already more familiar with FEMA flood map designations. We will update the descriptions to be easier for everyone.

White letters

When I use the search bar my only option is to use white letters on the white background. I have to guess what I’m typing. In the photo of the app it shows black letters. Waste of $9.99.

I apologize that the app did not work correctly. Please try the newest version and let us know if the error persists. Open the Flood Map app and tap the main menu (three bars in the upper left) then tap Send Feedback.

BE CAREFUL!!

This app requires a subscription which they burry the details of at the end of the descriptions. You only get to see flood maps for 1 month before you have to buy the subscription which is basically the same price as the app every single month. What a joke. It worked for a month. For this price it’s not worth it. I can go online and get the maps for free from FEMA. Was willing to buy the app for convince but not a monthly charge. You gotta be kidding me. Rip off.

The app is a geared toward professionals who need to have NFIP and FEMA information quickly available on their mobile device. There is a monthly subscription charge to keep the data up-to-date and the app is priced as a professional tool. We understand that this may not be desirable for all customers, and convenience is not a primary factor for some.

Can’t do a location search

I really like this app and find it is more useful and faster that the FEMA Flood Website. However, for quite a while now I have not been able to use the address search feature. Tried reloading the app but that doesn’t work. Hope the developer reads these reviews because I depend on this app with my job and couldn’t find of a way of reaching out to them about this issue.

Hello, I'm sorry there were issues using the app. Please try the newest version and let us know if the issue continues. If the problem is not corrected with the new version, please open the Flood Map app and tap the main menu (three bars in the upper left) then tap Send Feedback. Thank you.

Not at all what I thought

Was hoping to get realistic elevation for my home instead got what FEMA says. Every other map says I am 12-20 feet above sea level but this one just says what fema says.

Response from developer

Yes, the app provides FEMA flood zone map information and does not provide elevation. We tried to explain this in the app description and name. Based on your review it sounds like the app did work correctly and it gave you the FEMA information. Can you update your review to have more stars, since the app was fine? The current 1-star is quite damaging when we have a limited number of users. Thank you for the feedback and we will review our description information.

Maps do not work

The maps are not showing up. I have restarted the app and my iPad. How do I get my money back? This was a waste of money.

Useless. A waste of $10 plus Scription’s

I’m purchasing property on the Sprague river in Oregon. From what I can tell on FEMA maps, it may be in FloodZone C.

I tried searching with this app. All I get is “No FEMA Data”

I’ve contacted support twice. No response

I wasted $10 on app and another $10 on required subscriptions.

Poor tutorial.

The tutorial is very poorly provided. It doesn’t tell you how to layer FEMA maps. What good is it with map legends without knowing how to get the hazard maps. Poor and almost no response to my requests for help!!!!!

I’m sorry the app wasn’t behaving for you. Please open the Flood app, tap the main menu (three bars in the upper left), then tap “Send Feedback” so that I can help you personally. I would love to make the tutorial better.

Awesome customer service people

I had purchased this app a few days ago and the search bar wasn’t working. After contacting to the support team at Ikonetics, I received an e-mail offering a refund and regrets the app wasn’t working for me.
They didn’t stop there though! They continued to work on the problem and fixed the software issue with my phone. I appreciate their efforts and I look forward to using this app to help us relocate.
It is easier to use the Flood Maps app than relying on the FEMA maps alone.

Excellent app for home buyers and realtors.

If in the market for a new home that is near a body of water this app will help you in making an informed decision on how much risk of flood you would be assuming in that purchase.
