Accurate with great maps!

Very reliable data with easy to see maps.
I love the color satellite maps. They are updated daily at a minimum. In the spring I could make out areas that had an abundance of green growth, as well as areas of the mountains still covered in snow.
If a fire has a significant smoke impact, that is also visible on the satellite map.
Details include cause of fire when known and size and containment percentages.
Highly recommend this app!

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.

Developer Response ,

This review is false and should be removed. There are no full scale ads in the app anymore and there haven’t been for years. I don’t know why this review is being featured when it’s simply not true.

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 ,

This review should be removed as it’s untrue, and we removed the full page ads more than two years ago.
