Ratings and reviews

No widget, which kind of defeats the purpose of the app. In wildfire season you have to keep opening the app, when a widget linked to my location would offer the only functionality I really need. June 2026 edit: it now sends notifications about football matches. complete mess.

Since I got a new Android phone, notifications have only worked intermittently, even with the latest Fogos upgrade. I've contacted the developers who have shown little interest, they just say that no-one else has a problem. I've sent screen shots of the settings in my phone to confirm I have everything set up correctly for notifications but they are not even responding to my messages now. Without notifications, the app is pretty useless.

Just updating my review as after over a year with a black screen and no map, I've just opened the app and I have a map! I really hope it will stay this way as this app is so essential. I would happily pay a yearly fee if it meant it could be more reliable and glitch free.
