User Reviews
We use this to track fires in CA.
My whole family uses it. Thank you.
This app does not track any fires. There is no boundary or live updates as they promise. They don’t tell you how much is contained. They don’t remove fires that have been put out. They can’t even keep track of one single fire, and the app is very glitchy and buggy with words being stuck on my screen in multiple places.
Happy with the recent updates, haven’t had any issues for a while now, more reliable
Nope nope nope. Horrible. Stupid. Poor execution. Can’t trust it, other than that….no, it sucks.
Very easy to use and set location radius so you can get alerts in your area
Latest review: I finally got the app to install, but it’s awful. It reports a fire as active that was put out the same day over a week ago. Today it reports a fire that doesn’t exist anywhere within my area, but says it’s 58 miles from me. We don’t have any active wildfires today. This app must be just something they threw together along with the services they sell. I use PulsePoint and Google Maps to get up to date fire info. I deleted the app. First review: I downloaded the app to look at Colorado fires. I can’t get registered because the app doesn’t fill in the field when I type. I attempted to contact support and ended up leaving my contact info with sales. There is no Contact Us on their website. When companies do this kind of stuff, I have no need to use them for anything!!
So many steps to just look at a map? Why do you need all that info. Can’t even register because last name field won’t accept any input and it’s required
Requires you to create an account but won’t let you fill in required fields in order to do so. No way to view data as a guest. You’re required to enter email address, name, home address etc in order to get any info at all. Deleted app 60 seconds after installing. Don’t waste your time.
After updates requires sign in. Forgets passwords and will not send reset until 2 days later.
