Region Filter Doesn’t Filter
Any update on this? It’s been over a year and the region filtering still doesn’t work. The Korean version of the app allows filtering by region, and it works. But not the English version. Please please fix.
This is pretty useless to me because when I get an emergency alert in Korean for my city, ideally I would open this app and see the translated message. But despite setting the geographic region correctly, the app shows me ALL emergency alerts in the whole of Korea. It’s nearly impossible to identify the ones I want.

What’s the use?
The automatic translations from korean to English are horrendous. The app is useless if all it’s feeding me is a string of indecipherable English nonsense.
Better than trying to translate emergency alerts
Korea sends out alerts using mobile networks which are difficult to translate. This app is slightly better. The app gives the same message translated to English usually a few minutes after the network emergency message. Looks like automated translation rather than human translation. You can configure it to show messages for your region only.

Very poor and inaccurate translations
The whole point is supposed to be to provide non-Korean speakers with reliable information, but the auto-generated translations are so bad, they’re laughable. At times incomprehensible. You’re much better off taking a screenshot of the original Korean emergency alert and running it through google translate. It’s an extra step, but you have a better chance of actually getting a clear understanding of what it says.

Do better Korea
This app is too slow to provide “emergency” updates. The translations are terrible. Korea issues don’t many emergency alerts but unless you’re a native, don’t expect to know anything.
