User Reviews

Fireguard Wildfire Tracker offers useful wildfire and smoke information with a user-friendly map and good support. However, multiple users reported inaccurate or missing fire data, limited monitoring area in the free version, persistent ads, app instability, and unreliable notifications. While the app updates regularly and provides peace of mind to some users, shortcomings in data accuracy and user experience prevent it from being consistently reliable during emergencies.

Pros

Provides wildfire and smoke information helping users stay informed and safe.
User-friendly map interface that shows hotspots and fire boundaries.
Good customer support that responds quickly and politely.
Ability to define monitoring areas for targeted updates.
Regular updates and bug fixes improve app functionality.

Cons

Inaccurate or missing wildfire data, especially for nearby fires.
Limited monitoring radius in the free version requiring payment for larger areas.
Frequent ads and prompts to upgrade, detracting from user experience.
App crashes and freezes affecting usability.
Notifications about nearby fires often don't work or require manual refresh.

Recent reviews

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.
