Ratings and reviews

I find this app very useful. It allows me to stay more in tune with the smaller towns and areas surrounding my home, things I would otherwise not know unless I watched news all the time or 'stumbled' on a source, usually past its relativity. It's also really good to have for travel too! Especially for those who work out of town or visit/pass through rural areas.

Would be far better if you could check areas you are not currently around without adding to list. For example, I'm currently in Grande Prairie because of fire evacuations, but when I scroll the map down to Edson and Hinton, it shows nothing wrong.... Not so much that I don't want to add a couple places to the list, but in my line of work, I would have to add the entire province....

Keeps me informed! Downloaded in 2023, it really helped keep me updated since there were wildfires close to my acreage that year. Thankfully, it didn't come close enough to evacuate. This app also helped plan travel routes away from the fires & closed roads. I highly recommend this app. It is customizable to suit your needs & keeps you in the know. thank you for creating this app. 5 stars! all the way!!!
