Fire Finder - Wildfire Info for Negative User Reviews

✓ Where’s the fire???There is a major fire 20 miles away from my family’s home and this doesn’t show anything. This app isn’t keeping up with most of the fires in Colorado or surrounding areas..Skylar2213Version: 2.1.0

✓ Not kept up to dateDoes not appear to be kept up to date, so what good is it?.G163284Version: 2.1.0

✓ Not listedI live in South West Oregon & there has been a large fire in Agnest, Oregon for a couple days & wanted to find specific information on this fire & nothing. So far, not impressed.ReaganW2015Version: 2.1.0

✓ TerribleIf you are going to boast about being “the best fire map” then be the best fire map. Fire season isn’t over and Oregon’s LARGEST fire is missing and it is a great impact on popular highways. Also notice this app is never updated in a timely manner even during peak fire season. Waste of money. Don’t depend on this app..PdxkpVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Not Up To DateNot up to date whatsoever. My whole area is being evacuated for a fire that isn’t even on the map.IllinoismusicVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Not worth paying for..I live in an area where there are usually active fires. This app did not display the two I know were burning in my area. There is another free app that had the fires..Serenabean5674Version: 2.1.0

✓ Errgh-I am trying to find an app that will alert me to wildfires within a 50 mile radius of me. This is not that app. Can I get a refund on my purchase? Just got the app minutes ago and am already deleting it..ElbmeeVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Not up to date. It’s a few days behindsNot very useful when it’s not current.KaleewileVersion: 2.1.0

✓ USA onlyThe developers should really clearly disclose that it only shows fires in the US. Was duped in to buying it as a Canadian. Absolutely ridiculous.F*ckyourcrappyusonlyfireappVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Disappointed3 years ago, I found this to be informative. For the last year or so, with many fires with a last update 3 or more weeks ago. New fires are not shown for several days or more. Or not at all. Not much value to me..Mose is my #1Version: 2.1.0

✓ Not worth the moneyIt’s not worth the money. The app works like 5 year old app that should be free! If you just search it, you’ll get the same data with more details, free of charge!.Mr_B123Version: 2.0.0

✓ Fire statusWe have had fires active for more than a week, burned homes and towns. And they don’t show up until the fire is almost out. What good does that do?.Home owner 1956Version: 2.1.0

✓ Great potential but needs work on updatesThis app has an easy to use interface and has great potential. However, updates on fire incident information needs to be improved for this app to be really useful. There are several significant incidents near me that have not been updated for size and level of containment in a couple days. Hope the developer can make the fixes. Give me a good reliable app that I can use for important, timely safety decisions, I'll pay more than $0.99 for it. Best wishes..MwobVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Good for USA onlyGood if you live in the USA ! Not Canada.Dora lushVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Not nearly as accurate as I would have hopedI live in Southeast TN and commute down I-75 to Northwest GA for work. For weeks I would pass by a large fire burning to the east a few hundred yards. When I checked the app, it had this fire burning several miles away to the west next to the wrong interstate. I wonder where the info comes from..GI-Joe62Version: 1.2.1

✓ Good display, not nearly enough selectionsI like the maps. They let you know what’s happening and where. But there aren’t enough choices to focus on items or areas of interest. For examples, one cannot directly select by state or choose a distance around a city or the user’s own home or phone. Right now here in California, we have a smorgasbord of fires to choose from as topics. However, I would very much like to be able to get details between my home and San Jose so I can pick a route easily..SehlatVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Failed to list current fires in Oregon as of May 16th 2019The only current fire listed is the fire in Alaska, they have failed to provide information about other fires in Oregon.Jay77productionsVersion: 2.0.0

✓ If you're too lazy to check TwitterSeems to simply repost what you find in a Google search. There is far more info on Twitter and Facebook than in this app. Very disappointed..NchphotoVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Fire starter!I have used it for several weeks now and; Watched several fires close to me and no record mentioned been 24 hrs. I understand that the feed might take a while, ok. More interesting to me when it hits the news maybe it should be updated here. I live in Mentone Ca San Bernardino County, and fire services are federal, cal fire and county and city. Thank You.4r57Version: 2.1.0

✓ WhereWould be nice to have a search for location rather than futzing around scrolling on map with finger..AdibendivaVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Useless.A fire started a mile from my house in the forest. Not a single mention of this fire. Homes were evacuated, still no mention of the fire..Di SouVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Well?? Totally out of dateAre you ever going to update this app?? It’s useless unless it’s a MASSIVE fire, which gets reported in news media better than this app..ThegolubVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Fair but slow on updatesSlow on updates New fires going in Oregon and it does not show them. They are on BLM land.Cheoylee38Version: 2.1.0

✓ Misleading Tweet About AppThe app developer got on Twitter and posted what appeared to be a screen cap of the app showing hot spots and a satellite view of smoke, and advertised the app using the hashtag of an ongoing wildfire to say getting the app would show more details. But using the app, it only shows one icon representing the fire, satellite view only shows the terrain, and images include 5 typical news images. This doesn’t help show even the information in the developers tweet. Misleading and shameful..SgbeanVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Could use road closure info tooSo far so good. Road closure info would be very helpful along with evacuation status updates. 👍🏼.Amethy$tVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Not reliable informationThis app is not a reliable source of information. Maybe 30% accuracy around the Pacific Northwest. Some large fires haven’t shown up at all. While others only were shown after they were out. And when they are shown their details are not regularly updated. Hour by hitting would be nice. Day to day should be minimum. But a lot don’t get updated for weeks if at all. Maybe it’s a California app that only cares about California fires?.Rufus Del RufioVersion: 2.0.0
