### 4/5 — 過去データも見れるように戻してほしい

*2026-04-02*

速報バナーで開くと、最新の1件しか見られなくなってしまい、大型地震の告知のあと、小型の余震データしか見えないことが多々あります。また、津波？と思われるバナーを押下しても何も見られないです。
過去数年前のアプリでは過去データは見えたので、戻してほしい。よろしくお願いします。

### 2/5 — 待改善

*2025-09-19, version 2.0.5*

三天兩頭出現一個錯誤訊息，不是亂碼就是內部測試誤發到外部通知推送，然後又再發一個道歉澄清訊息==

### 5/5 — 真的很棒

*2025-09-19, version 2.0.5*

比國家警報還要可靠
地震前10秒就開始響 有時還會懷疑是不是壞了 但事實是它非常的準確 讓我能更快提高警覺並有心理準備 真的很棒👏

### 5/5 — 很棒的軟體

*2025-06-11, version 2.0.5*

非常感謝開發這款優質的軟體，通知非常即時！因為常常各縣市跑，希望可以連動定位！謝謝

### 5/5 — 收到了開發者的用心回覆

*2025-03-11, version 2.0.5*

之前都會延遲不準確
但現在開發者有回覆「此問題已經在 2024 下旬更換服務商解決」
事實最近使用真的有恢復以往的準確度了！

### 3/5 — 還是沒改善 更新到最新也一樣

*2025-03-05, version 2.0.5*

久放的裝置開網路還是會叫（約一天沒連網）半夜這樣很嚇人欸 明明沒有地震還是通知（昨天晚上9：27的地震）更新到最新還是一樣希望開發者可以找出問題改善 謝謝🙏 雖然地震來第一時間有響 這點不錯 但是明明沒地震還是叫 這樣反而很嚇人 希望改善！

### 5/5 — 真的超感謝開發者

*2025-02-09, version 2.0.5*

地震警報給我大概10秒的時間可以跑，警報音效也有分，可以快速就知道在地震度，總之這軟體超棒，超感謝！

### 5/5 — 警報很準確

*2025-02-07, version 2.0.5*

但是更新後那個定位永遠不在自己位置，每一次提醒都不是自己家這裡…..

### 5/5 — 警報很快速

*2025-01-27, version 2.0.5*

警報真的很準確！但是更新之後一直沒辦法定位所在區域，刪除重新安裝還是一樣，希望可以快速改善🥲

### 5/5 — 非常棒！

*2024-11-14, version 2.0.5*

更新過後可選擇的地區更多了，通報也幾乎都是準確的，加油！會持續支持👍

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-30

My fault yall, been slacking off the past year, it's ABOUT time. Here are the stuff yall been yearning for.

New:
