En iPhone no suena o se emite el sonido de las alertas

Pésima aplicación, no muestra la información del temblor del 22 de agosto del 2025. Es un desperdicio de recursos tener un desarrollo que no sirve para nada. Es mejor que la eliminen del App Store.

No seismic updates since October

I confirmed the app is up to date, and I have all of the alerts set to “on” in my settings, yet the app appears dead. No updates.

Worthless. You need a new IT person.

Problemas en IOS

En iPhone venía funcionando bien y ya no tiene las actualizaciones de las alertas
