Firebans

Only app that has fire-bans forecast

Not accurate enough to be useful

I’ve deleted- I get a notification but the map shows nothing. Missing important alerts near me on a catastrophic fire day.

Developer Response ,

Hi Trudy,

Sorry to hear you had this experience and we appreciate the feedback.

The notification settings and map settings are separate, so you might get notifications for incidents that are not currently visible on your map.

We're adding a new feature soon where you can open a notification to view exactly where it is on the map (including telling you if it is currently hidden based on your settings).

Blue screen of nothing

I’ve downloaded this, but it doesn’t work. It “opens” to a dove grey screen… and that’s it. No words, no pictures, nothing but a black, blue screen.

Developer Response ,

Hi Kathi,

Sorry you had this experience and thanks for bringing it to our attention. We've addressed this in a recent update that should be available soon. We hope you give BeInformed another try in the future.

If you do run into issues please reach out to us in the "App Support" section of the App Store.

Thanks.
