• A cleaner, smoother sign-in experience. • Layout and reliability improvements throughout.

Introducing WildFire Vantage Premium — support the app and unlock premium map layers and a night theme. • More reliable sign in with Apple and Google. • Performance and reliability improvements.

• Faster, lighter map — the app uses less data while you browse. • Red flag and fire weather warnings refresh more reliably.

• Fire news now appears right inside each fire's update timeline • Clearer, sourced evacuation status • More reliable map layers (smoke, cameras, perimeters)

Clearer evacuations: zones are now grouped by county and de-duplicated, each links to the official order and (when available) your county's official evacuation-zone map, and status changes are more accurate. Plus reliability improvements.

- Redesigned fire updates — updates now appear as structured cards with a pinned header showing current evacuation orders, warnings, and shelter info for each zone, color-coded and linked to the official source. Evacuations are grouped by county with freshness indicators. - Faster loading — fire data downloads are now ~90% smaller, so the map loads in seconds even on cellular. - Better search — find any place, address, or landmark as you type (e.g. "Tryon International"), alongside fires and your saved zones. - Larger text sizes fully supported — the app now lays out cleanly at every iOS text size, with no cut-off buttons or truncated names. - Smarter alerts — clearer timestamps in your alert list, and tapping an older notification for a fire that's since been contained now tells you instead of doing nothing. - Reliability fixes — fewer false "Data delayed" banners and more accurate evacuation status wording.

• Share a Fire — send a beautiful, up-to-the-minute fire card to Messages, X, Facebook, or Instagram in one tap. Share a whole fire or a single update with its photos, and pick which photo leads. • Rich link previews — when you share a fire link, it now unfurls into a branded card (fire name, size, containment) instead of a bare link, and tapping it opens the exact fire or update. • More accurate fire size — acreage now reflects the mapped fire perimeter when available, so it lines up with official sources and stays consistent everywhere in the app. • Full-screen Update Reader — swipe through a fire's latest updates in a focused, easy-to-read view; a notification takes you straight to the update it's about. • Stronger emergency alerts — time-sensitive fire alerts break through Focus and Do Not Disturb with a distinct alert sound. • Reliability and polish improvements throughout.

• Tapping a wildfire alert now reliably opens that fire, from anywhere in the app. • New alert sound + vibration when notifications arrive while the app is open.

• Tapping a fire alert now reliably opens that fire, even when the app is closed. • Clearer, more visible in-app alerts. • Improved notification reliability.

Improved sign-in experience and reliability fixes.

• Cleaner, edge-to-edge map — the bottom sheet now sits flush with the screen. • AI Discovery posts now show source images in a crisp, contained preview. • Performance and stability improvements.

Emergency alerts • Smarter proximity alerts — for fires with a mapped perimeter, distance is measured from the fire's actual edge, not just its center, so warnings are more accurate. New look • Light & Dark Mode — the app follows your iPhone automatically, or choose Light or Dark yourself. There's also a Sunrise–Sunset option. Light mode is now free for everyone. • Easier to read — fire data, updates, and details are larger and higher-contrast across the whole app. • Photos in fire updates — official agency updates can include photos; tap to view full screen and swipe through. Reliability & access • Offline support — recently loaded fires and conditions stay available when your connection drops. • Accessibility — full support for Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast, and Reduce Motion. • Faster awareness of developing fires, plus many performance and stability improvements. • You may need to sign in again after updating — a one-time step from upgrading our login system.
