User reviews

Hard to Read

Please support dark mode. The blazing white pages with tiny black text are hard to read.

Exact position

Why can’t we have the latitude and longitude of the earthquake.

Maori

Didn’t need the Maori language added

Extremely useful

Extremely useful app especially living in Wellington. Can I please request adding “critical alert notification” so I can get a warning while it’s in silent mode or in focus mode please?

Useless for reporting quake intensity

Whenever I submit a quake it just spins for minutes - end up having to close the app. If you don’t have the capacity to receive intensity reports then don’t offer it as an option.
