Lots of potential
I’m in SE GA with a large wildfire about 10 miles away from me right now. At the moment it seems to be moving away. I like your map, but have a couple questions:
1. What’s the difference between the orange and yellow dots? There is no legend.
2. Can you incorporate wind direction and speed? It would be great to have a visualization of both in relation to the location of the wildfires. Thanks for providing your app.

Ever Heard of the Palisades Fire??
Title pretty much says it all. I just paid .99 for an app that is supposed to show wildfires and it doesn’t show the largest one currently burning the you-know-what out of SoCal. The fact that I can see it when I look to my southwest is helpful, but I’d love to know if my recently evacuated house is among the 27k acres it has burned. Yes, I know that there are reasons the app might not show various fires blah blah blah, but this is inexcusable.

Fire app
Worthless for this
You’re keeping us informed on the Point fire and we are grateful.
Thanks for continual update on point fire and all othrts
US “only”
Until last summer (2023), this was the only fire-reporting app I had or needed. But in the aftermath of the wildfires in ON & QC and their severe downwind effects in the Eastern US, this app is now effectively sidelined because of the lack of coverage of Canada. I’ll be using another that does have this coverage, which tells me that the data are readily available and that the dev just needs to incorporate them. I hope that will happen, at which point I would gladly change my review to 5*s. I have two of the dev’s other apps — Snow Report and River Levels — which are great. I expect this would be as well with inclusion of Canada. 🇨🇦

Abandoned?
I hope this is not going to be another abandoned app. I'm not saying that this specific developer has abandoned his/her/their apps, but other developers have been abandoning theirs and I feel that I’m just wasting my time and money on them. It makes me sick to my stomach, and this is the only reason I hesitate to get any more apps than I need.

App not updating
Clicking on the inciweb tab makes the whole app shut down. Fire data does not appear to be updating. I’ve contacted the developer with no responses correcting the issues. I have noticed that all of the feedback is from a year or more ago. Edit 8/8/23: thanks for the correction. The app is working fine now, and the link to Inciweb is seamless and works nicely.

Response from developer
Hi, please update to version 1.3 and the issue you are describing has been fixed. Unfortunately I did not see your email or I would have fixes the issue more quickly. Lastly, please consider editing your review when you experience the app working again. Thank you.
Terrible for Canadian users
Doesn’t show any Canadian fire data. I want my money back!
The app doesn’t work
Look like a scam
Where is the information?
I tapped on every possible setting and layer (of which there are few to none) to set it up, and the fires currently burning are not even showing… the settings gears just links me to other apps this company offers. The informational maps cannot be drilled down into - they literally look like placeholders with nominal graphics. I cannot understand why the developer believes that their app is functional because appears to be a skeleton with nothing fleshing it out in a live interactive manner.
Please don’t tell me I need to update the version, as I just downloaded it an hour ago.
Utter facepalm. Deleting. You got my dollar.

Just not doing it
For me. This app was a bust. I needed updates on a local fire and it lagged well behind info from open sites on the web. I went elsewhere to get updates. Might be good for some but for me? Just didn’t work. Sorry folks.
Lacks incident feeds
I live in California, app always starts in Australia. We had nearby fire that was not identified. Would not rely on this app as my “go to”. Developer was kind enough to point out that I was running an older version. Update version took care of the problem and added nice features. The ability to move to incident feeds is especially nice.

Useful for overall weather & trends
Good technically based analysis - had to get definitions for a few weather abbreviations. I expected to see a few active NorCal fires showing on map, but did not. Maybe they’re no longer burning? Or maybe I need to learn to use this app.
Not worth it…
Bad app. Data is confusing and I think these reviews are false. I don’t rate apps unless they are really bad…this is one of those.
Canadian Data not in it
Why is this sold in Canada without access to the Canadian data? They have it on the desktop version, it exists, and yet the app only gives the contiguous US.
Map
Hello, I enjoy the map it is a cool map. The first map that you go to, I wish that you could see the fires, or what is that?Dunno what it is. The Inciweb Fires, there should be an area on the side after your touch it and you do not go to the website.
Smoke view
Good satellite view of where the smoke is.
App does nothing
I paid for and downloaded the app, and it shows zero wildfires—which clearly isn’t true. Waste of time and money!
Not accurate
Looking for info on a large fire west of Santa Rosa in California in Oakmont where flames forced evacuation of friends, this web site showed no such fire. It’s been active for several hours. Useless!
A must for fire prone areas of the country.
I’ve been glued to the Bobcat fire updates on the app for a week. Watching the glow get brighter and my area get smokier. This a great app. The details of where the fire was moving were informative. I didn’t have to wait for updates on TV. I highly recommend the app.
Response from developer
Thank you for the review!
