Deleting app

Glitchy app - stalls out a lot. Worse is that it raises the alarm when nothing is happening. Deleting app.

Response from developer

We're sorry Japan Alerts let you down, and we take the false alarms especially seriously on a safety app. Both problems have been fixed. The alerts firing when nothing was happening came from a server-side issue that could re-trigger earthquakes which had already passed. We found and fixed it, and that fix is already live for everyone, with no update needed. The stalling and glitches were fixed in version 2.0.3, now available. If you're willing to give it another try, we'd love the chance to earn back your trust. Either way, thank you for the honest feedback. Please stay safe. Japan Alerts team

話にならない

実際に地震が来て通知は来たが開こうとしても一切開けない。何度も消して開いてを繰り返してやっと開けても何も表示されない。

Great app for non-Japanese speakers living or traveling in Japan

This app allows to get alerts issued by official agencies in various languages in timely manner. There is also a function that allows to create a group so that you can check if all the members of the group are fine in case of the emergency.
If your family member is going to Japan, or living in Japan, it will be a very useful tool.

Thanks for your review. Version 2.0 is a way better. Hope you will like it.

Constant stress!!!

This app kept alarming every 2 minutes telling me to evacuate because there was a tsunami warning + earthquake, however I was waaaay too far away. I had to turn off my phone as I didn’t wanted to delete the app, in the end I did as everywhere I went in public it was screaming and stressing everyone out… make it location based… you can’t tell people to evacuate when we didn’t even feel the quake.
