Where're are the detailed location names? – Quakes - Earthquake Notifications Review

Quakes used to be my favorite app and have had it both on my iPad and iPhone since it first came out and recommended it everyone I know. Version 3 is bust, however. I live on the coast of Southern California and on all list screens any quake 1.0 or higher gets listed as "California" and I have to drill down to figure out where it was in relation to my location. Even on the default map it is awkward to figure out the exact location without lots of zooming, especially on an iPhone because everything is now generically labeled by broad region labels, e.g. California, Alaska, Washington, or China, Japan, Mexico, etc. in list view it almost impossible to figure out any quake trends by specific location. In earlier versions the location of the quake was much more detailed. Also, while it is fine to set the message notification level, the main list screen shows all quakes above 1.0 magnitude so the list is really long and very unspecific as to location -- not only for California but the rest of the world. It would be nice to set the lower limit a bit higher. Last, while the map is impressive, it would be nice to have the option to set one of the lists as the default screen. If you can fix these new changes or let us access the earlier versions you'll get a big five star thanks,
