Ratings and reviews

Used to be an amazing app but they have changed it and removed FDI information. The API call that handles this has been offline for a number of months o their status page. I have tried contacted the contact us email but no answer, even tried contacting the team lead at CSIR but also no response from him.

was great and on the ball, but now for the last month it's not even updating fires anymore. we have several fires around me for days and thousands of hectares burned, yet not even a blip on the app!

Doesn't give any information (size, when spotted, containment, etc.) Seems accurate on a map, but without the additional info it's mostly useless.
