*2026-08-16, version 8.4.2*

Reportes de una vez

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2026-08-16, version 8.4.2*

Got the subscription but IT DOES NOT WORK. I was just in the 7.4M earthquake that hit Colombia (Pereira specifically) and it didn’t send me any alerts until hours later in the day.I also keep changing the settings to show me earthquakes near me and it shows me random earthquakes from thousands of miles away from me in the middle of the night and causes me to go into panic for nothing. But when it was supposed to work and show me a 7.4M earthquake it didn’t work. Terrible. DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY!

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2026-08-16, version 8.4.2*

Information is not accurate

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-15, version 8.4.2*

To not have any more review reminders please. I’ve paid for premium.

### 2/5 — Upgrade or be disappointed

*2026-08-15, version 8.4.2*

What used to give a lot of great data apparently now requires an “upgrade” to be relevant.  The older version was so much better

### 5/5 — Grounds supervisor.

*2026-08-14, version 8.4.2*

Thank you very much for sharing this information. It’s very helpful and important.
