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.

Unusable
The tab that says Get Started is not visible on the screen and when I try to pull it up, I still can’t click on it.
App sucks
Can’t open it!
Thanks for the great info
We use this to track fires in CA.
Great app for CA fires
My whole family uses it. Thank you.
Doesn’t track anything.
This app does not track any fires. There is no boundary or live updates as they promise. They don’t tell you how much is contained. They don’t remove fires that have been put out. They can’t even keep track of one single fire, and the app is very glitchy and buggy with words being stuck on my screen in multiple places.

Happy with it
Happy with the recent updates, haven’t had any issues for a while now, more reliable
Straight up bad considering how important it is
Nope nope nope. Horrible. Stupid. Poor execution. Can’t trust it, other than that….no, it sucks.
Love it
Very easy to use and set location radius so you can get alerts in your area
Junk!!
Latest review: I finally got the app to install, but it’s awful. It reports a fire as active that was put out the same day over a week ago. Today it reports a fire that doesn’t exist anywhere within my area, but says it’s 58 miles from me. We don’t have any active wildfires today.
This app must be just something they threw together along with the services they sell. I use PulsePoint and Google Maps to get up to date fire info. I deleted the app.
First review: I downloaded the app to look at Colorado fires. I can’t get registered because the app doesn’t fill in the field when I type. I attempted to contact support and ended up leaving my contact info with sales. There is no Contact Us on their website.
When companies do this kind of stuff, I have no need to use them for anything!!

Can’t register
So many steps to just look at a map? Why do you need all that info. Can’t even register because last name field won’t accept any input and it’s required
Junk!!

Don’t bother
Requires you to create an account but won’t let you fill in required fields in order to do so. No way to view data as a guest. You’re required to enter email address, name, home address etc in order to get any info at all. Deleted app 60 seconds after installing. Don’t waste your time.
Loses passwords on updates
After updates requires sign in. Forgets passwords and will not send reset until 2 days later.
Really good info
This app is great! I think the older reviews were from when the LA fires were going and there were server issues. Seems really stable and has great info and even wildfire camera feeds.
Map on website is better

Won’t work without an account
Useless.
Fire tracker
It will not let me set up an account because it won’t accept my phone number
Broken
Don’t waste your time dumb app doesn’t let you even make an account says phone number is incorrect like it knows what my number is
Absolutely terrible
This is hilariously bad please whoever made this do not make another app. I’ve gotten 30 alerts in ten minutes for a fire that doesn’t exist lol. The last 3 in under a minute. Absolutely trash. Wait since I type in under a minute I got two more. I take it back now keep up the good work! Wait one more this is so helpful :)
