Firespot: Wildfire app App Reviews

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

So helpful to be informed!

I was in Stanley Idaho for a couple of days and the smoke was like breathing in a barbecue . I imagine it was a lot worse for the fire fighters and people right next to the fire . I would not advise traveling there if you can’t handle the smoke and headaches.

Better than Facebook for factual updates, infinitely better than Cal Fire for timeliness, it’s a literal lifesaver

The app is pretty good but the only thing I don’t understand is the camera option, when you turn on the camera filter and select a camera it doesn’t show anything and I don’t know what it’s suppose to show , it doesn’t work

So this app is AMAZING at tracking fires except whenever I use it for a few minutes it starts glitching out and the screen freezes. I don’t know if it’s my device or the app itself but it is very glitchy and my device has not had that problem. Other than that it is an amazing app! I recommend this app for people who want to know if there is a fire near the area, people who have a lot of wildfires, and people who like to plan early and get prepared for a wildfire.

I have enjoyed this app. I have followed numerous fires and have found the information reliable. Fast interface. Comprehensive coverage.

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!

Very easy to keep up with where the problem s are

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.
