    Was disappointed in the UX and the timeliness of the reporting. Data seems slow to populate. UX is kind of funky. Its also kind of expensive.

  • Now fixed…

    Addendum #2: Glad I kept nagging. The problems described below are now fixed (+3*s). I look forward to this app providing warnings for the upcoming fire season. Original review: This app is sending me alerts that satellites have detected fires in a large area of E. Canada that I have delineated… yet absolutely nothing shows up on the map for any sensor methods. Then today: “a fire near you.” Nada. The lists are even worse — all categories totally empty. Clearly this app has been abandoned. Complete waste of a $30 subscription. (Dev: please don’t suggest uninstalling, reinstalling, blah, blah. Done that twice. No difference.) Addendum #1: Yes, the lists populate now. But the map in Eastern Canada, still nada. The alerts for the large portion of western Quebec that I outlined now zoom in with a detailed little pop-up but NOTHING shows up on the map.

    Information in a hellish time when decisions to flee and which direction must be made. Mistakes cost lives.

    Like so many others, we’re dealing with fires cropping up constantly right now. We live on a horse farm and need as much possible advance warning as possible if we have to load horses. This app started out great a few weeks ago when I subscribed. I used it everyday. Now, for some reason, it no longer shows any fires anywhere. And, it keeps dumping my subscription. I bought an annual subscription about 4 weeks ago. I have tried every adjustment, I’ve restarted my phone, I’ve dumped and reloaded the app. It restored my subscription once. Now, nothing. I tried contacting the developer and got no response. Nothing left to do but ask Apple to refund. I’m sad because when it worked it was great. Now it’s completely useless.

  • Almost perfect

    I’m in wildfire-prone Malibu. This app has so many features that I love. I can customize my alert areas. I can get wind speeds and direction and all sorts of useful weather info. My only issue is that I receive alerts at least twice a day, every day, for small fires in my area that were put out a week ago. It’s the app that cried wolf! I’m beginning to ignore the alerts and don’t want to miss something that I need to know about!

  • Cannot get it to open

    I have downloaded, deleted and reloaded this app multiple times. When I first tried it out, it worked for a couple of days. I decided to subscribe to it for $29.99 a year. It still will not open. I’m not sure what the problem is. I tried canceling my subscription and the charge went through anyway. Not happy about this.
