Fires: Wildfire News and Atlas

The only downside about this app, is the fact that when I click on the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) map, it tries to load it and crashes every single time. If this could be looked into I would be most grateful. Other than this everything works great and nice job! -Edit: like the developer said the issue has been resolved, thank you very much!

This app appears to be working as advertised now. Let’s hope this continues because when this app functions as promised it has been very good.

Crashes almost instantly since I upgraded to iOS 18. The developer suggested I get the latest update but I already have that. 10.9.24 Update, I got another update and apparently it cured the problem so it works again.

This was a wonderful app with lots of information from many fire sites when it works. It does crash at times for a long period of time.

That was a very pathetic response as a developer. Since leaving that review I have since switched to the app WATCHDUTY which is far superior and is actually ran by the fire fighting community and those who work in IC. It is your JOB as developers to check in on each fire in the system and map and update it regularly. Instead you were being lazy and decided to blame a satellite because it wasn’t doing your JOB. pathetic.

Developer has updated this app and it works great. Many thanks for the great work and fast response.

Fires was at one time, my go to source for wildfire information. Slowly it’s become problematic, at first it wouldn’t open certain areas and I had to use the WWW button to get any useful information. Today I went to open after seeing a friend’s post about a fire near Big Bear. All that the app did was crash, repeatedly. So I deleted the app and came to the App Store to get the latest version. No luck, still crashes. So I deleted it and will just go to Inciweb or the Cal Fire site directly. 😔

I have been using this app for years, but out of nowhere it has just stopped working. I open it and it immediately closes out. Even after deleting the app and restarting my phone before reinstalling. I was counting on this app to watch for the Bridge and Line fires in my area. * App is on most recent update

Used to work. Only crashes with newer versions of iOS.

UPDATE: I got a "Developer Response" this morning telling me to check out the latest version of the app. The only problem is that the latest version is two months old and that's what I was running when the crashes on Launch started. This version of the app is NOT compatible with iOS 18, this was proven true on my iPhone 13 Pro and also on my new iPhone 16 Pro. I love this app and it's more straightforward than any other app of its kind that I've found. Please make it work again! And it's been great and reliable for several years. Until I updated my iPhone 13 Pro to iOS 18. Now the app crashes upon launching every time. It wasn't a hardware issue because the same issue persists in the new iPhone 16 Pro that I picked up and activated yesterday. I love this app, please make it work again!
