BC Wildfire Service Customer Insights

1. The old website gave users access to so much useful data, and for some brilliant reason the gov has decided to rescind our access to vital safety metrics and instead ply us with an bug-ridden, clunky app that is frustrating af to use.

2. What if I didn't know and was going out into the backcountry before it takes effect? I wouldn't know about it if I relied solely on this app.Dont force your app on me, just let me access the website.

3. It's going to panic people if they can't access the proper information.Stop requiring so many passwords and protections! If it was up to me, I wouldn't have any, or just 1.

4. Wish list: a smoke/visibility overlay with air quality information that could be toggled on and off.I do not like the app at all! It was way easier to look at the list and see the growth of the fires on a list by zone, from one day to the other on the website.

5. The only people all that stuff keeps out is ME!Hate that I can't access the info that was available on the old site.

6. PLEASE BRING THE OLD WEBSITE BACK.It does more or less what it's supposed to do.

7. Useless!!!! Fix this freezing, glitchy, app so people can be prepared.

8. There is a campfire ban announced as coming 2 days from now, so it would be nice if it mentioned that in the "Near Me" section.

9. The interface isn't perfect, but it's quite usable - and the data provided is invaluable.

10. Current stats, stats by region, etc.

11. All I ever get is the map...that's fine but not what I want.Almost completely useless.
