Wildfire - Fire Map Info

Do not purchase if you want info out of the US there is no info.

Worthless for this

Thanks for continual update on point fire and all othrts

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. 🇨🇦

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. August 2023 Wildfires app.

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.

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.

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.

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.
