### 1/5 — Local weather stations unable to load data

*2024-02-21*

My local weather stations won’t load any data

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this issue. We just released a new version of the app that fixed many bugs and also added many new features. Please let us know if you try it out and still run into issues in the new version.

### 2/5 — 2 stars for the days it did work

*2024-11-13*

I live in the forest as a park ranger and wanted an app to alert me, in addition to the one I have.
There are 3000+ acres burning 4 miles away & the map is not showing it, nor is it pink.
Firefighters have died, farm animals are being evacuated, the wildlife is suffering & our homes are in danger & this app is showing nothing.
I’m getting more alerts from the standard weather app.
I recommend people put their zip code into nixel.us for alerts.
This app is a huge disappointment when you are terrified

### 3/5 — Extend watch length please

*2024-07-30*

Need to be able to set watches for longer then 1 week.

### 5/5 — The future of fire weather.

*2024-04-21*

This makes it so much easier to access the fire weather forecast from a mobile device. It is also super handy to set notifications for thresholds in your local area.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you're finding the app useful.
