Still Useless After a Few Years

I have had this app for a few years now. It is still not user friendly. Instructions are poorly written and worded..

If this app is for use by foreigners, then this app must be easier to use and the instructions be clearly understandable.

The paragraph below, copied from the app, does not make any sense. Someone needs to read-translate into English.

“Please make sure that the device which has not been changed a prediction point for more than 1 month from final change date of setting will not be able to receive notifications. If you turn automatic setting of a point on, you can receive notifications even in the case that it has been more than 1 month since you set a prediction point.”

Crashes

App won’t let me add my location (it has access to location services)

Can’t add 2nd location

App crashes when adding a 2nd location.

Not Informative

This app is terrible. Think about how crucial it is to get a timely message about an earthquake, tsunami or eruption. This app is 遅い X10! So, right now there has been several earthquakes; my notifications are on, my phone has signal and this app is not informing me of anything. NHK is pinging me and letting me know what is happening. I will be deleting this app and using NHK from now on. In the past 20 minutes there have been 6 quakes and this app has said nothing. You should be ashamed!
