Firespot: Wildfire app

Addendum #2: Glad I kept nagging. The problems described below are now fixed (+3*s). I look forward to this app providing warnings for the upcoming fire season. Original review: This app is sending me alerts that satellites have detected fires in a large area of E. Canada that I have delineated… yet absolutely nothing shows up on the map for any sensor methods. Then today: “a fire near you.” Nada. The lists are even worse — all categories totally empty. Clearly this app has been abandoned. Complete waste of a $30 subscription. (Dev: please don’t suggest uninstalling, reinstalling, blah, blah. Done that twice. No difference.) Addendum #1: Yes, the lists populate now. But the map in Eastern Canada, still nada. The alerts for the large portion of western Quebec that I outlined now zoom in with a detailed little pop-up but NOTHING shows up on the map.

It shows a lot of information on the whole continent regarding fires. My only complaint so far is that the legend is incomplete. There are a lot of icons on the map (various encircled numbers) But there’s no mention of what they indicate. At first I thought it was the number of active fires in an area, then I thought perhaps the county’s numerical identifier…I have nor idea & there doesn't seem to be anywhere to find this information in the apps site.
