Ratings and reviews

terrible app; does not size correctly for me to read sections, don't get notifications no matter how often I set and reset. I have checked my Chrome and web settings as it advises. last year's version was so much more reliable- lol and this version touts it should be easier to use across multiple devices, mine is a 2025 Samsung

Don't understand the low ratings, works fine for me. Reported fires show up quickly on the map and status seems to be updated quickly. Zooming the map to my area works fine for me. Used the reporting feature and it seemed to work well and uploaded photos no problem. Does it's intended job.

One star based on: 1. Not able to zoom in on one particular spot on the map. App keeps defaulting to a different region 2. When selecting fires in a specific region it doesn't take you to the chosen location 3. Why arent the list of fires clickable on the main page so they take you to the fire on the map 4. There are boxes to chose an area on the dashboard that ends up on top of other writing
