Needs a redesign to stay modern. Since other much more modern and frequently updated apps with the same functionality always exist, it’s better to avoid this one - it’s not supported and should probably be retired. -- BlazeJester, 2024-08-01 ### *---- "Wildfire info" Still getting run time errors it never lasted this long I guess it’s time to move on and delete it will be using watch duty for fire info now. This has not been updated for over 3 years not good. -- kcopter, 2024-05-19 ### *---- "Not updated anymore" App doesn’t seem to be managed anymore, fires are rarely shown or updated. Used to be a great resource and now is useless. -- Rick D'Elia, 2024-04-19 ### ***-- "Information not current" Perhaps lack of information on the ground limits the ability of any such app to provide current information on fire perimeter, but it would be helpful (particularly for those with family members in or near an impacted area) to have some idea of the present size, growth of a fire, and how much of a threat a fire poses to any certain area. The fire perimeter information hasn’t been updated in nearly 10 hours. A fire can cover a lot of ground in that time. -- EBECHIDAHO, 2023-08-20 ### *---- "The app unfortunately does not hold record" This app is horrible it is about whenever I try to make a fire go into a place it never updates the wildfires that makes the app bad take it off who needs an app with it I think it reminds me of Wikipedia not encyclopedia but if you can’t delete it just add more wildfires to the app this is reticules I can’t handle it anymore -- devlin mccoy, 2022-11-17 ### *---- "Useless" The map will not display. Shows pins and thats all, nothing more. Using IOS 12.4.1. -- Will Phettel, 2021-08-31 ### ***** "Love it!" Living in a drought area of California where wildfires have happened, I check this site at least twice daily. Thanks for making me feel more secure. -- Bumihills, 2021-07-24 ### **--- "Info incomplete" While this looks like a good app, it’s very inconsistent. Many fire perimeter maps are not available. That should be the most important item to show. -- Nick-64, 2020-08-26 ### ***** "A great tool" Thank you so much for such a great app - I had some trouble initially with the fire map not showing anything except the topographical map. The developer contacted me. I deleted and then downloaded the app again. It is now working perfectly. -- CaliforniaRobin, 2020-08-26 ### *---- "Useless" This app is useless. Wildfires have been raging for 2 days in Napa and Sonoma counties in California with extensive evacuation orders. I’ve been trying to get information but there’s not a peep re. things like CAL Fire incident reports or updates via this app. The best I can do is stale information from the San Francisco newspaper. -- Kyoung21b, 2020-08-19 [View all Wildfire Info reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Wildfire Info In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Wildfire Info Premium | $0.99 | ## Wildfire Info Discovered Keywords - wildland toolkit - fires - wildfire info ## Apps Similar to Wildfire Info - [WeatherBug: Weather Forecast](https://apptail.io/app/weatherbug-weather-forecast-d/united-states) - [MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar](https://apptail.io/app/myradar-accurate-weather-radar-Mk/united-states) - [MyRadar Weather Radar Pro](https://apptail.io/app/myradar-weather-radar-pro-Zl/united-states) - [Weather #1 Interactive Widgets](https://apptail.io/app/weather-1-interactive-widgets-pac/united-states) - [Tides Near Me](https://apptail.io/app/tides-near-me-sZc/united-states) - [National Hurricane Center Data](https://apptail.io/app/national-hurricane-center-data-SZm/united-states) - [FOX Weather: Daily Forecasts](https://apptail.io/app/fox-weather-daily-forecasts-Fyy/united-states) - [RadarScope](https://apptail.io/app/radarscope-djN/united-states) - [National Weather Forecast Data](https://apptail.io/app/national-weather-forecast-data-Dfub/united-states) - [Wind Speed Forecast App](https://apptail.io/app/wind-speed-forecast-app-qECc/united-states) ## Wildfire Info Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/wildfire-info-hQW/united-states) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/wildfire-info-hQW/australia) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/wildfire-info-hQW/canada) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/wildfire-info-hQW/united-kingdom) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/wildfire-info-hQW/ireland) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/wildfire-info-hQW/new-zealand) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
