Improved

John Smith D. on

United Kingdom

Seems like the app has improved now. Although choosing location by tourist place still crashes the app. You need to use other option. Otherwise, a solid app to have

Does not set a location

ant and bee on

United Kingdom

The “push and set a location” button does nothing and therefore the app is useless.

Utterly useless

Freezes or crashes each time it is opened.

Unusable

Crashes so unable to use it

南海トラフ地震臨時情報について

おーちゃん0316 on

Japan

南海トラフ地震臨時情報で「巨大地震注意」が出ていますが、“No warning has been issued”のままで、なんの情報もありません。確かに今避難しろという警報ではないのはわかりますが、これでは外国の方に勧められません。

評価がもっと高くてよいと思うのに

digisuki on

Japan

来日間もない外国人に初級日本語教室で、このアプリのインストールをお薦めしています。リンクのページもとても便利に思います。日本人の私にも役に立つと思いますのに、評価が低いのが不思議でなりません。 評価された時期が早過ぎたのでしょうか。 大震災が現実に起きた場合のこのアプリの挙動を検証はできていませんが、平時の今(2024 春)は、とても良いと感じています。

日本語を読まないと他の言語を選べない

Izumindy on

Japan

「英語」という感じが「English」のことだと理解している人だけが、英語モードに切り替えることができる。その他の言語を選ぶときも同じ。そんなばかな。

Fairy non-disruptive

Aaaahron on

Japan

Fairly non-disruptive, and helped when we had bad weather. However, this doesn’t really help at all with earthquakes (except maybe finding a shelter post-earthquake?). Also, please make the evacuation updates stop. It’s been 24 hours, and it keeps going off for cancelled evacuations.

Erro

franyamafuku on

Japan

O aplicativo está enviando notificação de evacuação porém quando clica no popup ele diz que não existem notificações de evacuação. Chegou uma notificação agora pelo app do governo e em seguida no app de vocês, mas quando eu clico diz que não tem alertas de evacuação.

Language choices

The language choices are in Japanese! How are foreign travelers supposed to find their language choice??
