This used to be a great app but now it's absolutely awful. It's painfully slow, when it works at all. The zoom only works when it wants to and either zooms in too far, or not enough. Clicking on a fire to get the information about it MIGHT do something, eventually, if you're lucky...... This used to be an awesome app but it's completely useless now.

The update is absolutely horrible. It's unfortunate as this was a great place to always have up to date wildfire information. The map shows all current wildfires and their color coded status (out of control, out, etc), but after you click on a fire to get all the detailed info on that fire and press the back key to go back to the map, it doesn't go back to the same map and it's a whole song & dance to get back to where you were. Why change what wasn't broken?! It was so well laid out before:(

I hate to jump on the band wagon, BUT I just downloaded the updated app and it is not functioning well. The interface is slow, the map skips or doesn't zoom in, the information doesn't load. One screen even gave me a strobe effect. Please either go back to the old version or update to ensure this tool works more effectively.
