Wildfire - Fire Map Info for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not accurateLooking for info on a large fire west of Santa Rosa in California in Oakmont where flames forced evacuation of friends, this web site showed no such fire. It’s been active for several hours. Useless!.Version: 1.1.14
✓ Not worth it…Bad app. Data is confusing and I think these reviews are false. I don’t rate apps unless they are really bad…this is one of those..Version: 1.1.16
✓ Worthless, constantly crasheNewest version downloaded, tried it on an iPhone and iPad. Crashes, does not offer relative current data. I live 15 miles from a 7,000 acre fire, this app offers no information on it..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Now or neverTried to load latest alert update. Nothing! Freezes up, shows “loading” but nothing happens. I could have really used this app today. I am just glad my life didn’t depend on it..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Small screen large informationOne problem I’m having is the fact that the legends and keys to the map take up at least 50%-60% of the screen making it hard to look i the surrounding area without having to fish to locations by small adjustments or zooming all the way back out and in again when on a new location. App should allow user to close the key down after reading it to show more of the map. Also there should be a method of setting up alerts. Perhaps that’s just user error but I don’t see a way of setting my location and getting an alarm if there is an approaching fire..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Can be usefulA useful resource. A bit for the professional who understands the terminology used because there’s no glossary..Version: 1.1.13
✓ Lacks incident feedsI 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. ThNk you.Version: 1.1.19
✓ Missing DataMy friend's house in Zuma beach is gone as of a few hours ago and several other friends I haven't heard back from about their homes in Malibu, TO, Agoura during the Woolsey fire on November 9, 2018. No data even showing for Malibu when much of it has already been evacuated and burned. I tried the zooming in and out. Yes, of course this app shouldn't be relied upon to save one's life. But it doesn't even show Malibu as a burn area as of 3:45pm when much of the area has already been burned. UPDATE- data seems to be coming in slowly. As of 5pm-ish data for Malibu burn area and Sta. Monica mountains is now showing. UPDATE- Also noticed air quality index isn't accurate either, maybe based on conditions without the fires. About 48 hours into the Woolsey and Hill fires still shows good-moderate all over the area. We are 50mi east of fires in Pasadena and the air out here is thick like burning tires. Can't go outside..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Waste of time if trying to stay updated on wildfiresTrying to track California fires. This app has too much information on several kinds of small fires that make it way too hard to see the dangerous life threatening ones trying to track, to decide whether or not need to evacuate and to keep up with loved ones..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Canadian Data not in itWhy is this sold in Canada without access to the Canadian data? They have it on the desktop version, it exists, and yet the app only gives the contiguous US..Version: 1.1.16
✓ Needs fire identificationThere needs to be way to know the names of the fires being detected by satelite. Merely opening the Inciweb site in one’s browser with no clue as to what the fire is called is of minimal use. I can find this information much faster and with greater detail well established sources such as the CalFire incident map, Twitter, and local news media sources and more. Im giving this two stars instead of one because other reviewers suggest a sincere effort by the developer to makes this a good app. For me though, all the information I see here is much more readily available, and in near real time, from other sources so I won’t be using this one. I may re-load the app later in the season to see if it incident identification is fixed. In the meantime, good luck in your efforts to make this an efficient wildfire information source. I wish you well..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Terrible for Canadian usersDoesn’t show any Canadian fire data. I want my money back!.Version: 1.1.20
✓ This app is trash (and wow, charging people for it)There is a 20-acre fire that was reported a couple miles from my house (Northern California.) No mention when I zoom in to my area. Also, the listing preview says NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) as the developer - a a federal government agency. That’s not the case. On a further look it appears it’s a private company. I would really like to be given a refund as this is in no way helpful. Also, with so many people who have already lost their lives in the Campfire blaze north of the Bay Area, I find it disgusting that the top-rated app on App Store is fed-based..Version: 1.0.11
✓ No current infoIf there are fires breaking out, you need current information. This app doesn’t update for hours/days. Useless!.Version: 1.1.4
✓ App does nothingI paid for and downloaded the app, and it shows zero wildfires—which clearly isn’t true. Waste of time and money!.Version: 1.1.14
✓ BSThis app is BS!! It doesn’t cover anywhere in canada!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Just evacuated from Easy Fire and it’s still not on this map.I’m just gonna say today this was totally useless and would have been dangerous if I was depending on this app. The Easy Fire has been burning since 6 am it’s now almost 11am and we are still not a blip on this app..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Very inaccurateI 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..Version: 1.1.9
✓ Where is the information?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..Version: 1.1.20
✓ Has PotentialI live in SoCal, and need up-to-date info. Few improvements: 1) slow loading at times and 2) you have a refresh button, but there should be a “time” indicated of when the map was last updated. You can refresh, but it’s possible the data is 5 hours old and the winds/fires have shifted. 3) Download option. I was stuck in an area where the cell towers had been destroyed. A “saved” option that saves to the app so you can see the most recent fire status..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Not ready for prime timeLike so many app makers eager to make a fast buck, the developers released this before it’s ready for prime time. There are fires that are showing up on other apps in the south east bay of San Francisco - bit not this app. I’m going to delete this one because it’s just clutter..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Not reliableI used to rely on this app, but right now there is still a major fire in Santa Cruz mountains that badly pollutes the air all over Bay Area but the app doesn’t show it. Neither it shows the fire at Point Reyes, that’s been on for days and only 5% contained. When I compare Cal Fire website data to the Wildfires app I see huge gaps. I don’t think I’ll continue to use Wildfires app..Version: 1.1.9
✓ Information too complicated to understand..Information too complicated to understand..lots of dots but what does that give you? When I look at current fires it links me to my browser and then you have to understand how their website works. Not worth the money if you have to search elsewhere. Was hoping for more information..Version: 1.1.4
✓ TerribleThis app is pretty much worthless when it comes to wildfires because the information on the fires is not updated in a timely fashion. I bought it to keep tabs on wildfire that has been burning since 8hours ago and consumed 2000 acres. The app shows nothing at all. I tried a few times & am connected to WiFi. It did have information on other fires that have been burning since yesterday... but so does a newspaper! At least update the information hourly..Version: 1.0.10
✓ BasicNice 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..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Just not doing itFor 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..Version: 1.1.19
✓ Difficult to useWhy can’t I tap a fire on the map and have it go directly to that fire map and fire info rather than having to scroll through ALL the fires listed and why don’t the listed (inci web) fires not give a state location in the first sentence so you know where these fires are? It’s easier just to google the fire by name or type in “fires in Colorado” . App is a waste of $ so far.Version: 1.1.8
