1. 5/5Finally..

   Living in Mexico city we had something like this for a while . But now I live in Los Angeles California and I don't know how people in the US are gonna react when they get the warning a strong earthquake is coming because people In Mexico are already use to getting them alerts that say "Strong earthquake is coming " since they have so many strong earthquakes and an early warning on their phone and they had them for a while . So since this is gonna be new to people in the US who knows how they gonna react ! Also I think we need the Alarm. I know that they have them were they have tornadoes in the US .But in Mexico city when u get the notification on your phone the Air raid siren also goes on really loud all over the city the first time I had no idea what was happening I tought a war was happening when I heard the alarm all over the city till I saw everyone running outside and they were screaming earthquake and sure enough 30 seconds later BAM strong earthquake hit . They should have those in California not only in places were they have tornadoes so people can have time to go hide ! I saw it helps they had about 30 seconds to get outside .

2. 5/5Thank you for the early warning!!!

   Wow, had what seemed like lots of time on earthquake warning tonight! My phone made a very distinct sound and said something to the effect Earthquake alert, drop, cover, 5.7 Kern County. I was at first a little unsure, as I hadn’t felt anything, then I knew I better get out of laying on the electric lounge chair so I can at least sitting up so I can be ready to move, then I opened Maps to see where Kern County was, it said 111 miles away. I moved to a better area in my house, then started feeling and hearing slight shaking. Then I took a video of our pendant light swaying slightly. Exciting, thankfully not too exciting. Next time I’ll be less unsure and just act much quicker, it could be less time, closer and bigger I know! Important and so so helpful! Thank you!!!!! Very cool!!! That’s what I wrote previously, back here again to say thank you, had new early warnings today of quakes, thank you!!!! You are amazing, love this important precious app!!!!

3. 5/5Switched to this app = better!

   Switched to this app from another earthquake app and this is better since it allows a home base to be set. Yes there is a sw bug that the app doesn’t seem to do anything after setting the home base, but if you go back through the settings the home base has indeed been set. Home base is essential to me since I run with location tracking off to save battery capacity. I run with a VPN so we’ll see if the app works with that. It would be great if there was a test mode that would allow a user to verify notification and trigger off any earthquake of any magnitude 3.5 or greater in California, Oregon or Washington. I would also like a notification of ANY deep earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone in case there are any precursor earthquakes providing early warning.

4. 5/5Amazing App

   This app has taken a lot of earthquake anxiety away from me. Being from the east coast I had never feeling an earthquake until I moved to California. The first earthquakes I ever felt were the Big Bear/Landers quakes and it scared me so much and I have bad anxiety anytime I feel a quake. This app takes that element of surprise away and gives me time to find a good place to go before it hits. I’d say a good 5-10 seconds, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s enough to move to a safer place and takes that “surprise-the ground is shaking” away. It makes me so much less scared when the quake actually hits. We’ve had two bigger quakes since I installed it and both times, the early warning informed me before hand. Very thankful for this app!

5. 1/5Useless app…

   Wow. A developer response that completely ignores everything I brought up. I never said I didn’t want global notifications. Global notifications are informative but not necessarily useful. I said I wasn’t getting notifications of local (significant) quakes. And I was pointing out the irony of getting notifications from quakes thousands of miles away that don’t affect me directly. But not getting any notifications of local quakes that could affect me. And the (local) quake that I was referring to occurred hours before I checked the app. (Because, you know, I didn’t get any notifications?) So the whole “map doesn’t update right away” excuse is not really valid. Bottoms line - you did not address my concerns or critique. It gives notifications of quakes thousands of miles away but doesn’t notify you of quakes nearby. I still say this app is only useful for draining my phone battery. tl;dr Useless notifications of quakes thousands of miles away. No notifications of significant quake 100mi away. I get notifications (not shake alerts, just standard iOS notifications) of earthquakes in the sandwich islands which are thousands of miles away from me. But I didn’t get any notification (again, not shake alerts, just standard iOS notifications) of a M6.2 quake that’s about 100mi from me. And people in the area have reported feeling the shaking. When I go into the app, the M6.2 quake didn’t even show up. I had to kill the app and restart it for the quake to show up. All of this just makes the app useless other than for draining my battery.
