Recent reviews

I used this app a lot and use to love it but recently they haven't been able to get the data from the province to report wildfires. I hope they're able to get access to that data again. It was an awesome app.

Considering that these guys are not rolling in strap startup seed capital this app is pretty impressive. The official app isn't nearly as good as this one (but there are still some things it has that aren't available here)

Runs smoothly on S21 Samsung. Pls be sure to keep this updated ... Time sensitive info is critical. Slow or worse yet no updating renders this style of app useless . Pls be vigilant with updates. Ty
