Push notifications need to be changed
Please allow control over the types of notifications. I see many other users asking for the same thing!
I would like to mute or disable push notifications for earthquake events that do not pose a threat.
Push notifications should be reserved for warning about **legitimate tsunami danger** (otherwise the user will disengage from the constant pop-ups, which defeats the purpose of the app!)
If this can be implemented, it would be a five-star app!Show lessNeeds to be able to filter alerts
The app shows good information about tsunami risk zones, etc. However my main interaction with it , unfortunately, is it sending me alerts for distant Alaskan earthquakes that “do not pose a tsunami risk” for my current location. I turned off sound for thesein IOS Settings, but they are still useless and annoying. The app should provide a way to filter out alerts for earthquakes more than a specified distance away from my location, and earthquakes that cause no tsunami risk for my location.Show lessOne fix could make this so much better
I live on the edge of an inundation zone, so I was delighted when this app was released. It's the kind of app that could really save lives in my community and so many others, and I'm incredibly grateful for the science and expertise behind it.
Here is something that would be a game changing improvement on the current build: how about sending an audible notification ONLY when the alert does not specify that there is no threat? That way, I don't have to chooose between getting a potentially life-saving alert and getting wakened on the regular by non-threatening events. I am not sure if there is an upside to waking me up only to read that something does not pose a threat. It seems like the downside - that users silence the notificications altogether at night - defeats the purpose of the app.
Thanks for considering my suggestion, and thanks again for working on this important project!Show less
