Poor design, useless information, annoying notifications
Click on a specific fire notification, it opens to a page with generic preparation subjects. To see the latest fire information you have to open a map, and find the fire yourself. Turning off notifications for a particular fire has no effect. It just carries on popping up unwanted alerts. Watch Duty is much more useful and useable.

Not reliable
I’ve been using this app for about a week and it’s so unreliable. I’m in Washington state and half the state is on fire. 3 hrs ago there was an announcement to evacuate a small down south of Spokane and this stupid app doesn’t even show the fire. When I initially login it will show a lot of different fires throughout the state but if I click on just one to get details, the other fire icons vanish and don’t reappear so I deleted it. It’s not helpful at all.

Trash
Doesn’t update in real time sends you “critical” updates but then when you check on them there’s literally no info oh and the fire map thing is laggy as all hell and doesn’t show the active fire you want to see even when it’s a fire less then 7 miles away from your house and it’s telling you you have critical alerts for the area but the map looks like it’s just fine? Trash don’t waste your time or space on your phone for this app

Not worth the time
Initially, we were notified of wildfires in and out of our radius but noticed the updates were completely inaccurate. We had a fire on our property a month ago, yet this app still shows it’s active. That’s the case for most fires reported on this app. You cannot depend on it. It’s free but not well maintained and send notifications that are old and a nuisance. We’ll delete it.

Now “Predicting” Fires?!
I’ve been using Frontline Wildfire Tracker for about 3 years and I’ve noticed the poor updates, time not appearing accurate, and other issues, but today was the final straw!
There is an active fire with smoke floating over my house and some ash falling, from a fire 10 miles away. But Frontline says the fire was discovered at 9:00 PM tonight, 5 hours from now, and the latest update was 9:30 PM, 5.5 hours from now. It also says the amount of area burned is 0.10 Acres, but the about 20 square miles of area covered by smoke says a different story.
I downloaded a new app and immediately found out the fire is over 150 acres and growing.
I just deleted Frontline Wildfire Tracker, total junk.
