Not too Shabby

The app isn’t too bad. I like that I can set notifications. However I’d like if the region monitor size slider was replaced with the ability to type in the size because it is a little tricky to select a specific size.

great reference

educational

LAUGHABLE!

Raging California fires and NO notice on this stupid, wasteful app. SAVE YOUR PHONE’S MEMORY AND AVOID 🤮

Disappointing

I downloaded this app mainly for active fire information, because I live in Southern California and I wasn't too keep track of fires in my area. Although there have been several wildfires since I downloaded it, and fire services address fighting three fires right now, I have yet to see a single fire labelled in the app.
Looks like a waste of storage space.
