User Reviews

Users praise Waterbomber Wildfire Tracker for tracking firefighting aircraft and providing timely updates, with strong safety value. However, reviews repeatedly complain about high pricing, limited geographic coverage (California-focused), incomplete aircraft rosters, and absent web/alternative viewing options. The top requests are lower prices, broader coverage, more aircraft, and a web-based version with enhanced viewing modes.

Pros

Helps users track firefighting aircraft and stay informed during wildfires, contributing to safety and peace of mind.
Unique niche: there isn't another app that focuses solely on firefighting aircraft.
Generally positive reception with quick updates and clear information.
Regular updates provide timely situational awareness for users in affected areas.

Cons

High price / pay-for-use model, with lifetime access considered too expensive.
Limited geographic coverage: data largely restricted to California and missing other regions.
Incomplete roster and inability to see all bombers at once; users want more aircraft added and better roster visibility.
Missing web-based version and additional viewing options (web browser, overhead/map view).

Recent reviews

This App is a pay for use. The important information requires pay for use- important potential life saving information. Hikers, Campers, & rural household’s are most at risk in mountainous areas. This App should just be honest a state pay for use.

Love the app, but the lifetime buyout is way too much. There is no other app that does just firefighting aircraft so this app has got this genre cornered. Lower the prices and myopic can take this along way.
