Show me the smoke! For some reason, the app only sometimes shows the smokey areas in North America. I can turn off/on the smoke setting. I can force close the app and restart. But nothing I do seems to make the smoke visible on occasion. I don't know why smoke is visible on occasion and sometimes not. Thank you to the developer for the smoke explanation. The explanation comports with my experience, but I changed my rating from 3 to 4 for the explanation. Solving the problem would earn a 5.

The smoke info is generally available in the afternoons after a NOAA technician publishes the data. This availability is a side effect of how NOAA publishes the data, and we hope to improve on this in a future update.

I downloaded 4 different wildfire watch apps, and this was the worst. I know, for 100% surety, there is a 12,000+ acre fire about 50 miles away from me, and another small one about 25 miles away from me. This app shows the big fire as a bunch of tiny "hot spots" but has zero info about it, no size, no containment %, nothing. It shows nothing (as in it says there is no fire) on the map for the smaller fire. There are MUCH better fire/disaster apps available, like Watch Duty. Good luck!😅

If this happens, please check your internet connection. It sounds like your information didn't finish downloading, or you didn't realize that you can tap things on the map to get more information. In settings, you can customize what you see. The hotspots shown are more akin to radar data in a weather report -- more raw but available sooner.

Terrible Free Trial experience, uninstalled. I got served 2 ads after opening app and adding 1 location. Upon trying to add 2nd location I was told I couldn't without buying. I tapped my current location to change it and was served my 3rd ad. All this within the first 60 secs of me using the app.
