Fires: Wildfire News and Atlas

UPDATE: I got a "Developer Response" this morning telling me to check out the latest version of the app. The only problem is that the latest version is two months old and that's what I was running when the crashes on Launch started. This version of the app is NOT compatible with iOS 18, this was proven true on my iPhone 13 Pro and also on my new iPhone 16 Pro. I love this app and it's more straightforward than any other app of its kind that I've found. Please make it work again! And it's been great and reliable for several years. Until I updated my iPhone 13 Pro to iOS 18. Now the app crashes upon launching every time. It wasn't a hardware issue because the same issue persists in the new iPhone 16 Pro that I picked up and activated yesterday. I love this app, please make it work again!

I’ve been using this app for a couple years and love it. I live in fire country and this app provides a needed service. I do not mind seeing ads in exchange for this service. But after a recent app update, I am now seeing invasive, full-screen ads that will not allow me to exit until they have completed the 5-second countdown. This is a serious problem and they need to update it to get rid of the invasive ads. When people are looking for vital safety information, they shouldn’t be forced to watch ads. Stick to the smaller ones that show up in the corners. I’m fine with those. Your users are here to view vital safety information. We are not playing a video game. Many people don’t have 5 seconds to waste while waiting for information about wildfires. I find this unsafe and disrespectful.

Very reliable data with easy to see maps. I love the color satellite maps. They are updated daily at a minimum. In the spring I could make out areas that had an abundance of green growth, as well as areas of the mountains still covered in snow. If a fire has a significant smoke impact, that is also visible on the satellite map. Details include cause of fire when known and size and containment percentages. Highly recommend this app!
