Wildfire - Fire Map Info App Reviews

I’ve been glued to the Bobcat fire updates on the app for a week. Watching the glow get brighter and my area get smokier. This a great app. The details of where the fire was moving were informative. I didn’t have to wait for updates on TV. I highly recommend the app.

Hello, I enjoy the map it is a cool map. The first map that you go to, I wish that you could see the fires, or what is that?Dunno what it is. The Inciweb Fires, there should be an area on the side after your touch it and you do not go to the website.

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 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.

Good technically based analysis - had to get definitions for a few weather abbreviations. I expected to see a few active NorCal fires showing on map, but did not. Maybe they’re no longer burning? Or maybe I need to learn to use this app.

Good satellite view of where the smoke is.

We are currently surrounded by wild fires and this app gives you all the updated map information and fire information to include evacuations. The app acquires its information and includes links to national agency’s on wild fires.

The Moc Fire is raging near me and does show as a red dot but is not named or updated, help

Nice UI. Easy to use. Provides only very basic info. I wish it had alert and evacuation zones mapped. That would make it useful enough to keep on my phone.

This is a great app for keeping track of the wild fires!

Fabulous to get so many options to view the world in layers of wind&moisture&heat

The last update fixed everything.....Thank You!

A useful resource. A bit for the professional who understands the terminology used because there’s no glossary.

Would like to see a more global perspective.

Crazy good developer support for a 99¢ app! I emailed the developer to report a bug and make a small feature request. Not only did he respond quickly, he pushed out an update fixing and implementing both within a couple days!

Wildfires are sadly becoming a common fact of life in the age of climate change. I use this app to help track where they are.

With the SAT pictures, I think this app has deadly good precision at locating fires and for how long. Works best around WiFi just because there is so much information to be downloaded.

Very informative app for finding fire maps.

Useful app, but really slow to load

the air quality tab doesnt seem to display anything for days now...

Clean visual presentations and, text.

Restarted phone and switched to LTE and now app is working on both WIFI and LTE. Nice app!

Nice app w/lots of info, but on iPhone 8 the legend practically covers half the screen on the active wildfire view. Need a drawer to hide it and actually see the map.

I’d like it more if it were easy to remove the legend.

A very useful app so the development team should be pleased as this is a very useful tool in keeping up to date with Wildfires.

Aside from a few minor tweaks, I find this a very useful app. Highly recommend.

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 hav

I live in California. There are literally thousands of wildfires here. The app is showing me that they are all in the same place. Inaccurate and unhelpful.

Legend covers half my iPhone screen!!! Can’t be removed!

This site is hard to figure out. I can see there’s a fire near me but can’t get any useful information.
