The AI-generated thumbnail that is embedded is social media posts is in particular poor taste. It appears to show most of France in a blaze of death.

All the while showing Portugal as not having a single fire at all.

I understand you might be focused on Spain, and that’s fine. But please understand that people are dying or losing everything, and being a tad sensitive to that could go a long way.

Eu posso escrever tudo em Português, mas já que estamos num sítio internacional.

Really this is what one gets to be upset about in today's world?!? An application icon!

I on the contrary appreciate that the author even bothered to have Portugal as part of the application, after all they could also only have shown the Spanish territory.

great job, great effort!

for a second I imagined the firefighters being lost between flames and winds and not knowing or understanding directions well and then opening your app and figuring it out :)

Great job.

The dark background version is particularly illustrative. Winds are not easy to spot in the satellite map.
