Link to Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre does Not Work

TfmAB on

I love this app but for the past few weeks the link to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre doesn’t work. I just get a white screen. Please fix.

All the info I need

Canadian RJT on

This app does exactly what it says it will which is exactly what I need it to. Very up to date, easy to use and very inexpensive. I had a minor issue and the developer was incredibly quick to respond with a fix.

Best out of the bunch, but...

Miss Casablanca on

Best, most quickly updated earthquake app out there, however I’m not always checking this app and I am not notified for the quakes that are in my proximity... This brings me to be paranoid, checking multiple times a day to ease my mind. I wish I could get immediate push notifications to a specific range that I can adjust to monitor quakes via alerts instead of actively checking. Am I missing something or is this app lacking?

Placing a location for Nearest doesn't work

mingbc on

This doesn't function for a while, seems nobody's going to take care of it.

Helpful vacation planning tool

Geoff2-Vancouver on

A series of earthquakes in Italy. Should we cancel our vacation and avoid the entire country?With this app I can see exactly where the recent quakes are, so we know which region to avoid. It's an odd use, but it's really helpful to us. I like the 'replay' feature, which gives particular insight into recent earthquake activity. Shows all earthquakes worldwide as it draws from a wide variety of sources. A very good piece of design and programming.

Excellent App!!

Randor10 on

This is an excellent app. We had a moderate earthquake locally last night. The app had gathered and displayed all the pertinent information within minutes and continued updating itself as new information became available. Well done!

Wonderful

TIMMYDISCO on

This app is a must have , before during and after both of our trips to Japan it was very comforting to know what's up instantly. Living in Vancouver on the west coast of North America everyone should have this app we remain on the ring of fire!

Excellent App

Chris Sanuders on

Excellent app, good be made "out of this world" if warning of earthquakes or tsunamis can be sent out as they happen when in an affected area.

Cool
