### 5/5 — すごくいい

*2024-10-17*

防災クイズや、防災シティのコーナーは、とても面白いです！
キッズ、一般、シニアと、モードが分かれている所いいです！
言語について言ってた方、やさしい日本語が追加されたみたいなので、大丈夫だと思います。通知は、アプリの設定、スマホの設定で変えられます(？)
星1の人いいとこ探してください😡💢

### 3/5 — なんの通知かわからない

*2024-08-23*

ホーム画面のアイコンに通知マークが来ているのでアプリを開いても、何も表示されない。過去の通知履歴だろうといつもとばしてしまっている。夏なんて毎日のように通知が来ていて、どれが緊急度が高いのかもわからない。

### 3/5 — あと少し！

*2024-08-09*

コンテンツが充実しており情報も豊富なので、災害へのに対する漠然とした不安は、少しずつ解消されつつあります。

「災害時につかう＞グループ連絡」の機能において、グループ内のメンバー確認ができません。見るところが別にあったら申し訳ないのですが...同じところで簡単に確認できると嬉しいです。
・メンバー参加の案内後に、誰が加わったのか
・メンバーの調整や削除

### 1/5 — アップデートでオフラインマップのデータが消去されてたので注意

*2024-05-06*

アップデート後、オフラインマップがどこから見れるかわからず機能自体なくなってしまったかと思いました。結局見つけられたのですが、ダウンロードしてあったマップは全て消去されていて焦りました。事前に気づけてよかったですが、災害時だったらと思うと恐ろしいです。

### 1/5 — 起動すらしない、最新iOSなのに…

*2024-04-12*

iPhoneSE第3世代(最新iOS)に機種変更、このアプリもインストール。
しかし起動すらしない、タップしても起動失敗しかしない。

古い端末で古いiOSなら、インストールも起動も成功する。
あれ？このアプリって？
メイン端末で使うのではなく、古い端末を再利用するために作ったのでしょうか？
(古い端末にはSIMが入っていない、つまりテザリングやWi-Fiがなければ防災アプリは災害時に使えない)

### 1/5 — アップデートしたらつまらなくなった

*2024-03-02*

自動でアップデートされたが、災害マンガや避難診断など、遊びながら防災を学べるものが一切無くなってしまい、つまらなくなった。入力していたデータも全てクリアになってしまい、残念。元に戻してほしい。

### 4/5 — Good but crashes every time I check/tick a stockpile item

*2022-11-06*

Read title

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-11-10*

Nice

### 1/5 — 個人情報ダダ漏れ

*2021-11-08*

非常時以外でも安否確認を調べるで特定の名前を入れると検索結果として表示されます(共有している場合は現在地も)
プライバシー保護の意味で心配になりました。

### 3/5 — 微妙な動作

*2020-08-16*

災害情報が通知されるのは良いと思いますが、マイエリアに複数地域を設定していると必要以上に通知が出るのは何とかして欲しいです。
気象警報、注意報の時間帯表示に0時から3時が出ないのは何かの仕様？
問い合わせ先が分からないので、提供元がこのレビューを読んで改善される事を期待します。
