Reviews
A bit buggy, but gets the job done

The English is a bit off and despite being an app for Japan, the map thought I was in Azerbaijan until choosing my location in settings and relaunching the app. Once that was figured out it showed me accurate shelter info so 4 stars.
Crashes A LOT
*please insert name here*
The links are super helpful, and so are the updates about earthquakes and volcano warnings. However, these are completely useless if the app never loads them. Lately this has been happening very frequently; about 20 minutes ago I checked an alert for an earthquake offshore Hokkaido that I felt--and another app had a popup that took me off the screen. Still can't reload the notification. Sometimes the translate option is "unavailable" as well. Please fix both bugs, and thank you! The app is 4-stars when it functions.
