I haven't been thru any natural disasters but I like the app. I can imagine it being useful in California or in tornado season. Or fire season. Even here in KS. But I find the app useful and reassuring. It seems like the kind of app you can depend on.
Defaults to Canada. I live in USA. Search bar defaulted to Canada when I type Los Angeles.
This is the best application ever! It's very helpful & informative. I also enjoyed the quiz. I get severe anxiety when earthquakes occur and especially when I feel it. Having this app has helped me calm down. I dont have as much anxiety knowing where and how strong it is. Thank You for this app. ❤ 🇱🇷
Doesn't work. Will not alert you of an earthquake of any magnitude. Despite having all notifications turned on I never received anything after multiple earthquakes registering 4.0+. Don't waste your time with this useless app.
Excellent app, easy to use. Made an adjustment to my magnitude for earthquakes and I was able to get alerts as they happened.
Great app. But it depletes your cell phone battery. So which is worst? Being notified or a drained battery in an emergency??? I will rather save my battery.
Misses More earthquakes then it even show after the quake. I will sitting here shaking and no alerts and Will not even show up on the after quake list. Useless for real time or anytime info, still NOT SHOWING A QUAKE that happened 24 hours ago. UNINSTALLED this application.
This is a very important app. And an exceptional part information that helps you keep up with whatever is happening around your love ones.
I am not getting any earthquake alerts when they happen and I cannot find earthquake activity that just happened an hour ago with epicenter right in my town that is listed all over other sources.
not very useful at all. very little information and not updated right after quake which is when it would be useful
I am NOT Getting the notifications !!!! 3 earthquakes 6.4 to 6.7 in less than 5min.... I cannot be without notifications
They have a lot of helpful information
Have had three aftershock quakes in 5 days and zero notifications from this app. Just says all is well.
I added it literally a minute after an earthquake centered in my city and it said no activity. Lame. Uninstalled this immediately.
Easy to use. Great basic reminders about emergency preparedness.
Great and educational for my kids it quickly tracked down my last few earthquakes I highly recommend this app!😁😎
Completely useless didnt even send me an alert for an earthquake.
This app has allowed me to warn everyone I know sometimes HOURS before news or government has warned about earthquakes in my area. Unreal! Thanks for making this
We had an earthquake. The app reported it 5 minutes later. I think that is too long.
when the earthquake happened yesterday 7/5/19, I didn't get any alerts before or after.
this app is the worst we just had an earthquake in the movies theater and it did not give me no alerts or any warnings
Happy to know all my family and friends are safe through this app.
This is a good app & sounded when earthquake in s. cal hit.
I just had an 4.3 earthquake today 1/30/22 and it did not let me know.
Great app, i purchased the paid version to avoid the ads and it does remove them. But if you click on "more info" instead of remaining in the ad free app your directed to an internet webpage covered in ads. Seems dishonest to me.
