Emergency Ready App

This app is a great replacement for those phone emergency alerts. Some great things: 1. Can specify areas of interest. So you can get emergency alerts related only to your neighborhood, or other location, or both, etc. Good when family or workplace are spread out. 2. Respects phone mode settings So if phone is silent or vibrate, these alerts come silently or by vibration. No more blaring loud sounds in public 3. Better translations Previously the foreign language translations of Korean original messages was bad and sometimes incomprehensible. Now they use Google auto translation and they’re much more clear. 4. Alert history If you accidentally swipe away an alert, there’s a list of previous alerts to consult. That list is all alerts nationwide which sometimes makes it difficult to find yours but still it’s a good resource. Overall the app provides a good features set. I’m glad it is available and multilingual. Thank you.

중국어 버전 쓰고 있지만 중국어(간체자) 아닌 번체자로 잘못 되어 있습니다. 언어 수정 필요해보입니다

I really like that the alerts I get notifications of are only for the areas I select. However, if I miss the notification and go into the app to search for it, I have to comb through every alert for the whole country. Even adding a search function would be really helpful.

Terrible programming. Slow response times. Bad interface. Incorrect English. A true disaster!

모든 지역 재난문자가 한데 모여있어서 보기 불편하네요. 원하는 지역만 볼 수 있도록 개선바랍니다

디스플레이 크기 자체가 맞지 않고 그 때문에 신빈성이 떨어져 보여요. 여러모로 좀 더 깔끔하고 정갈해 보여야 (그리고 잘 정리되어 있다면..) 외국인들 사이에서 입소문이 나서 앱 으로 부터 도움을 더 많이 받게 되지 않겠나 싶습니다.

Useful app, I can follow the number of cases concerning the COVID-19, but sometimes the translation doesn’t mean anything at all. I am not an English native so it’s even more difficult to understand when it’s not clear at all (in a Coronavirus case, talking about earthquake? Does it mean a cluster?). I hope the new versions will have a better translation.

This app was terribly conceived and executed. There is some information on the coronavirus but it is way too small to read and it is impossible to pinch and zoom.

Helpful resources here, for sure. As noted in the title, Mexico doesn’t show up under North America when looking for embassy information. Although some may not think it is a big deal, the lack of accuracy made me rethink the validity of the information provided.
