Reviews
I don’t like the update
Leighsmathers
Prior to the update I could tap on alert that was two days old and it would bring up the information. Now I tap on alert of an hour ago and it does not show me the location or the information it’s very frustrating. We need to have a little more history being saved on our locations.
Deleting old alerts
Worrywart108
How do you delete all the alerts on this app I have hundreds of alerts that I can't get rid of that are taking up storage space
Not a great app
Indio, Ca
Have had this app on my phone 4 over a year & This app never informs me about an earthquake or a tremor have had several tremors near me & it has yet 2 notify me.
Hit or miss

Works sometimes but doesn’t at other times. Alerts of earthquakes are spotty as the app doesn’t even know of an event that happened where I live in CA. The location selection is very hard to select international locations. In fact it doesn’t even work anymore. Not too reliable!
Was so much better previously

I used to use it often. It was intuitive. I hate the "update" it's worthwhile to remember the he old advice -- If it ain't broke - don't fix it! How about giving an option to re-download and re-install the previous version? I wish I had not updated it...
Unusable

This app went from one of my favorites to essentially unusable. I configure my settings and distance monitored, and the app continuously changes my distance settings back to 1 mile. Please fix it! :)
Hate the updated version
Jpla07
I absolutely hate the update! It never send me notifications, even though I have all the settings set correctly. It's not user friendly, It takes me forever to figure out how to change the magnitude setting. The old one was so much better.
A must for anyone with smartphone
