The app updated on my phone about a month ago, ever since then, I no longer get alerts for 6.0 and larger quakes, it used to have a different notification sound for the larger quakes. I have also noticed that other notifications won't pop up in the task bar or alert unless you open the app.. What happened..? I have tried deleting and downloading the app with no luck at fixing this issue.

Hello, on our test devices we do get the M6+ alerts correctly (just as the latest in Alaska an hour ago or so). Can you check your notification settings (managed by your system) and check that you didn't by accident disable the channel for quakes >=6? If you can send us some screenshots with your settings we'll be happy to help if possible.

UPDATE -- I deleted the data and now it's working like it's brand new 🙂 Thanks so much for quickly solving the problem!! -------------------------------- Not working. About a month ago it stopped working correctly. Now the app is trying to work but it says there's NO new information...and shows NO information on earthquakes or volcanoes. I have a Samsung Galaxy s10e.

Hello, please try this once: 1 in the app: settings -> back up your settings (optional); 2: close app; 3: System Settings -> apps - Volcanoes & Earthquakes -> data -> delete ALL data; 4 reopen it. Let us know! You're welcome to send a screenshot as well to info@volcanodiscovery to help understand what is maybe the issue.

I was so impressed by what I saw I had to review it before I've even had it a day. This is what I was looking for! Deleted 2 other apps because this combined all the features they had plus offered more (hadn't even considered volcanoes before this). Robust settings options. Great sorting selections (time of occurrence, distance, magnitude, region, and more!). Ability to report felt earthquakes. There's so much I will run out of space if I try. Very impressed.
