There is not. **Developer response:** Hey! There are numerous aircraft from Canada active in the app. Can you please reach out to my through ernst@mulde.rs to provide the feedback on what exactly you are expecting to say there is no Canadian data? This helps me to improve my app as a solo app developer, instead of just a 1 star review that doesn’t provide any more info! Many many thanks! ### 1/5 — No Canada coverage? *2026-06-03* Just paid for Premium and see no wildfire aerial assets at work anywhere in Canada? **Developer response:** There is no difference between the free version of the app and paid version in terms of coverage! There are a lot of Canadian assets in the app, so either your area isn’t properly covered by the receivers or I’m missing assets. I believe you already reached out to ernst@mulde.rs, but if you haven’t please do so, so I can get some more information! Thanks a lot! ### 1/5 — Retired 1st Responder *2025-09-07* This App is a pay for use. The important information requires pay for use- important potential life saving information. Hikers, Campers, & rural household’s are most at risk in mountainous areas. This App should just be honest a state pay for use. **Developer response:** All flight info is, in contrast to other fire related apps, for free. I don’t understand what you are talking about. Some additional info/features do require a fee, but that’s because I also have to keep the app running. Not everything can be for free.. ### 1/5 — Nothing in Canada still, *2025-08-16* Downloaded as we know waterbombers are fighting a local fire. Nothing, can see them on flight radar, If your in Canada this doesn’t help, just wanted to narrow down the planes **Developer response:** Hey! Can you please reach out to me via ernst@mulde.rs? I want to double check why they don’t show up, either I’m missing waterbombers in my dataset, or they are flying without transponder/out of receiver reach. Would really appreciate it if you can email me, so I can improve! ### 1/5 — Nothing in Canada *2024-07-26* Don’t bother. **Developer response:** Did you already have had a chance to check out the latest updates? Would love to get your feedback on those! ### 1/5 — WOULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS APP *2023-06-07* is your tracking a Airplane Flightradar24 is the app **Developer response:** Hey! Did you already find some time to check out the latest version of the app? It now does support Canada! Thanks for giving it another go! ### 1/5 — Won’t accept Canadian addresses *2021-07-15* Why is it in the Canadian App Store ? It won’t accept a Canadian address and the developers don’t tell you this in their App Store posting. I’ll be deleting it now that I’ve posted this review. **Developer response:** Hey Randy, A lot has changed in the app by now! Would you mind giving it another go? Would love to hear what you think! ### 2/5 — The app was great during the ‘23 fire season, now, it’s useless *2024-03-04* I loved this app when I first found it last year, I was able to track planes working fires near us, as well as other large fires in the state. Imagine my surprise when I opened the app, only to find California aircraft were the only ones showing. With my state operating on a million plus acre wildfire, not having flight data is a bit annoying. **Developer response:** Hey! That sounds strange, since the launch of the app I only added aircraft it tracks, never removed them! Can you email me at ernst@mulde.rs so I can check what’s going on? Thanks a lot! ### 2/5 — Add to canada *2023-07-08* If it showed Canadian to it would he a golden app…but it doesn't so its not a golden app its quit merely useless. **Developer response:** Hey! It does fully support Canada by now! Did you already have had a chance to check the app again? Would love to hear your feedback! ### 3/5 — Canada app *2024-07-08* Anything for Canada yet? Specifically Saskatchewan **Developer response:** There is a batch of Saskatchewan being added in the next update which I’m currently testing. Give it two more weeks! Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love WATERbomber *2025-01-12* Love the app, but the lifetime buyout is way too much. There is no other app that does just firefighting aircraft so this app has got this genre cornered. Lower the prices and myopic can take this along way. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I get that you want a lower price, who doesn’t want a free lunch right! The problem is: live aircraft data doesn’t come cheap. Neither is app development. So there’s little I can do about that without turning it into a loss for myself. Thanks for your understanding! All the best, Ernst ### 5/5 — Great Info *2024-07-23* Quick updates providing quality info ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-22* Great app ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2022-11-17* This is a great app great to tell wildfires and stuff and shooting of wildfires a really good helecopters help me know so if a fire comes to burn my house I feel safe also Waterbomber is super cool and if you have a fire in california you can use it mostly that is impressive no more countries needed and also wildfires I will say I reccemend for the next update try to make more Waterbombers so I can see all or almost all of them prefer all so I know if a fire comes also if they say offline you should see everything all of them so you know that your in a safe place like california for example and some other places try to make me see all of them so I can be able to keep track their are fires in my area that have never shown up on Waterbomber maybe try to make sure to see all of them to keep people safe and know where their is a fire that would be great ### 5/5 — App is great so far! *2022-08-23* Would love a web based version. Also, an option to see the aircraft form an over head view like all other tracking apps. Everything else has been really nice. UPDATE: I noticed a lot of the SoCal choppers aren’t coming up on the map. I’d love to see these added. I’ll list some here, N141FA N17LA N76CG N15LA N43CU **Developer response:** Thanks!! I’m going to fix this (and many more) in the next update! ### 5/5 — Water Bomber *2022-06-05* Needs ability to see all bombers at once MVP1105 ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2021-08-27* This app is great! I only wish that the developer could add Kern County copters 407 and 408 on the list to track so I can get notifications on them taking off. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks! No problem, can you mail me the tail numbers of those aircraft? I’ll add them! Ernst@mulde.rs. ### 5/5 — Love It *2021-08-14* Any way you can make a web based application? Web Browser would be great. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I’ll write it down as an idea for the future. For now I’m focusing on getting more aircraft (and countries/regions) in the app! After that is perfect, I’ll look into it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
