Ratings and reviews

⭐️Was 5 stars, but I keep getting your red alert visual from the app, that would only appear as a result of an event. When I see it I get alarmed thinking there's been an event, but it's advice instead. While advice is important, I have to switch off notifications now from your app, because they are no longer alerts. So it's only half as useful now.

useless asf app tells me to turn on location to detect a shake. even when location on. is essentially useless

I've had this app for a number of years not just on my phone but on my computers as well. Aside from the fact that we have very few apps to choose from on this title it is very good and I rate it very highly indeed. My only criticism would be that their is no coverage in the event if a tsamuni. Otherwise I highly recommended that everyone have this on their phones and computers. In the country that we live and the events we have had, you'd be a fool not to.
