Ratings and reviews

What a HUGE disappointment. I've used this app for the past few years. Used to be good. Could track fires all over province. Perfect if we had family in an area or we were needing to travel. What happened??? Please fix this!! The season has barely started. You had a great thing going... I was shocked at all the comments about how terrible the new update is. I really hope you have someone who can figure this out quickly. In my opinion this is a vital tool to have!! Please fix IMMEDIATELY!

This used to be a great app but now it's absolutely awful. It's painfully slow, when it works at all. The zoom only works when it wants to and either zooms in too far, or not enough. Clicking on a fire to get the information about it MIGHT do something, eventually, if you're lucky...... This used to be an awesome app but it's completely useless now.

The update is absolutely horrible. It's unfortunate as this was a great place to always have up to date wildfire information. The map shows all current wildfires and their color coded status (out of control, out, etc), but after you click on a fire to get all the detailed info on that fire and press the back key to go back to the map, it doesn't go back to the same map and it's a whole song & dance to get back to where you were. Why change what wasn't broken?! It was so well laid out before:(
