Decent info, but lacks customization – Volcanoes: Map, Alerts & Ash Review

This app provides a good bit of information about volcanoes all over the world, but the notifications settings are severely lacking in customization, despite the promise the app makes for "customizable alerts." The result is that you're bombarded with ash alerts for volcanoes literally half a world away, with no ability to filter these alerts for distance from the user or a set point. I wanted something that would alert me to volcanic activity near us, but instead I get notifications for volcanoes all over the world! It's too much info--I just ended up turning off the notifications, so this app is basically useless to me now. Also, many volcanoes which are classified by the rest of the world as "dormant" or "extinct" are classified in this app as "potentially active." While perhaps technically true, this is not a particularly helpful classification. Don't waste your money on the in app purchase. All it does is removes ads and gives you a little more info on the ash alerts (but no customization of said alerts).
