User Reviews
I have had this app for a few years now. It is still not user friendly. Instructions are poorly written and worded.. If this app is for use by foreigners, then this app must be easier to use and the instructions be clearly understandable. The paragraph below, copied from the app, does not make any sense. Someone needs to read-translate into English. “Please make sure that the device which has not been changed a prediction point for more than 1 month from final change date of setting will not be able to receive notifications. If you turn automatic setting of a point on, you can receive notifications even in the case that it has been more than 1 month since you set a prediction point.”
This app is terrible. Think about how crucial it is to get a timely message about an earthquake, tsunami or eruption. This app is 遅い X10! So, right now there has been several earthquakes; my notifications are on, my phone has signal and this app is not informing me of anything. NHK is pinging me and letting me know what is happening. I will be deleting this app and using NHK from now on. In the past 20 minutes there have been 6 quakes and this app has said nothing. You should be ashamed!
I downloaded this app on the recommendation of the JR Pass website. Couldn’t even set up my locations and preferences without it crashing and closing repeatedly. Doesn’t even save the info I had managed to add. I have no idea why “developers” would leave this app published. Pretty embarrassing.
5개 지점을 추가할 수 있다고 되어 있는데 추가하려고 선택하고 나면 강제종료됨. 또한 앱 실행 시 사용언어와 국가를 계속 새로 입력해야해서 불편함
리뷰가 세 개라서 짭인가 했는데 아이콘이 같아서 설치해봐요
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。
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。
지진나고서 아무런 알람도 알림음도 안옴 뭐하러 만든거임?
It works well.
「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。
All the negative reviews seem to be years old. The app works great and allows you to manually or automatically set your location (remember to update if you’re traveling). Relevant alerts in English are incredibly helpful.
This app is still crashing when you attempt to add a second location for earthquake warnings. Disappointing.
