Amazing and up to date

Have had this app for over a month now and absolutely love it. This app has let me keep an eye on wildfires in Northern Nevada and all over California especially in Southern Cali where my sister lives. Yes there are ads but you can chose to open or close them in the free version. Since downloading this app I can count on 1 hand how many ads I have seen. Would recommend to anyone living in an area prone to outbreaks of wildfires.

Invasive ads with recent update

I’ve been using this app for a couple years and love it. I live in fire country and this app provides a needed service. I do not mind seeing ads in exchange for this service. But after a recent app update, I am now seeing invasive, full-screen ads that will not allow me to exit until they have completed the 5-second countdown. This is a serious problem and they need to update it to get rid of the invasive ads. When people are looking for vital safety information, they shouldn’t be forced to watch ads. Stick to the smaller ones that show up in the corners. I’m fine with those. Your users are here to view vital safety information. We are not playing a video game. Many people don’t have 5 seconds to waste while waiting for information about wildfires. I find this unsafe and disrespectful.

The Sorry Demise of This App

The “Free” addition has Banner ads like EVERYONE else, BUT these characters have recently decided to ALSO add
FULL PAGE ads with AUDIO!!!! But wait... there’s more! You can’t close the blaring full page ad for a required amount of time!
Everyone else who has tried full page ads has dropped that poorly advised money making scheme. Why? FPAs even without sound are so annoying, you ultimately make less from the 90% of people who refuse to pay subscription fees and dump your app or at the very least will now use it far less (10 % usage?) than they used to. While you screw around waiting until your revenues go down, you’ve also lost mega customers who have already deleted your app.
Get with it !!!

Developer Response ,

We are currently in the process of reviewing and filtering any annoying or exceedingly long ads that may be displaying. We are not able to control when the close option for an ad is available since we are using Google ads. We hope to filter any video ad that does not have an early close option. Thank you for the feedback.
