Don’t download 👎

Useless app without any correct updates. There’s was 6.5 earthquake yesterday in Humboldt county, CA. No alarm, literally nothing about it on the app.

Updates are terrible

This used to be great, it’s become so much less user friendly and a lot of features are missing. I got an alert this morning, now I can’t view it.

Used to work, now it’s trash

This app seemed decent until this week. My notifications settings are set to notify when 4.5+. So why have I been getting 0.9 warnings for 4 days? DO NOT DOWNLOAD unless they publish a statement explaining why and what they did to fix the trash.

One of the better apps in a long time

My old review below. Just had a 4.1 center a few miles away, the worst I have experienced in the app does not even recognize it. This app is now useless to me. Uninstalling!

Just installed it and 5 minutes later got my first alert, living in SoCal. Just discovered the alert setting, don't really care about shakes 250 miles away. Overall I think this app is a must have. Well done.

Notifications are reliable and timely

This one has consistently out performed Hawaii Civil Defense notification for us by about 45 minutes. Tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Great app that works properly those rare times that we rely on it.
