2nd weekend of the worst flood and windstorm in recorded history for South Australia, still nothing. We just got hit by the first Southern Ocean Cat 2 cyclone in living history, not a peep. Our entire state in Blackout for three days, not a mention. Despite many direct emails. FFS, people rely on this to stay alive. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Dangerous snakeoil. Are you trying to thin the population ?

It keeps stopping when I try to view a disaster . I guess you want me to pay? Ain't gonna happen..I'll uninstall before I do that. The 10th time in a row it has stopped trying to open tsunami information... UNINSTALL.

App has lots of potential, thank God I only bought the smallest subscription. It's irritating that something you paid for crashes so much. Since I did subscribe, you guys have until August to fix it. If it is fixed I will change my rating, if not I'm gone.

S70%
by S####:

Same complaints as everyone else, you open a disaster alert and the app stops/closes. Except I had just paid for a subscription to PDC right before this started happening, when everything worked fine.

J70%
by J####:

Always crashes when I open a disaster, I subscribe ld so I could get the info and plan incise my unit has to deploy. Can you please fix this issue as I have paid for a service I can't use 100% of. Other than that great app.

by Y####:

Why is current eastern United States blizzard & whiteout conditions not listed? Those people are in the middle of a current disaster. I would say 4 to 5 feet of snow in a very populated area qualifies.

L70%
by L####:

I don't mind paying for a good APP -BUT- I'm unwilling to add another subscription just so that I can customize Alerts. Without the subscription I receive way too many alerts for areas that I don't need alerts for.

Used to love this app, but since recent "updates" it fails every time I click to get More Information on my Android phone and my tablet. Too bad; it used to be very helpful. Without the details, just scary.

J70%
by J####:

A lot of info. I like this app but on my galaxy s6 it crash everytime i go on the world map and i click on a disaster to have more info.

Thats a no no for our identity safety! People using anything with Time Warner just got their accounts & passwords hacked.

by C####:

When I view the info on the selected disaster, it stops working. I'll rate better when this is fixed.

I70%
by I####:

Not bad. subscription should give alerts for >1 fixed location *and current one* (one doesn't update that when traveling, really). Also filtering by severity etc would be useful. So would option to get alerts in email (if phone fails)..a widget would also be useful for a quick view

In 2011, when I initially used it, the app worked well for smartphones. Now, it is still in portait display mode and thus not supporting tablets. Disappointing.

Says not installed when I try to engage app, but it is installed.. Guess I'll have to uninstall then reinstall. Nope, still not working.

U70%
by U####:

Just downloaded this so don't really know if it works... It would be awesome if you could decide the perimeter around a location... EX. 200 Km around my house or location Or 100 miles around my parents home :-) - - If you add this function, and if it actually works lol, I'll gladly give 5* OK I just read that you can add a location, but for a price.... This is a free download for sure, except the app isn't really complete... What a drag :-(

Not good .??..tsunami alert happening now but the earthquake pin is in antarctic not chili not reliable at a time of emergency this app needs a big tweeck

THIS APP SEEMED TO WORK FINE,EXCEPT WHEN WE HAVE HAD EARTHQUAKES HERE IN THE U.S. THEY NEVER SHOWED UP ON THE DISASTER MAP. A. 4.2 EARTHQUAKE IN MICHIGAN IS VERY RARE AND CLOSE TO HOME FOR ME. WHAT'S HAPPANING IN MY COUNTRY IS MORE OF A WORRY FOR ME THAN WHAT'S HAPPANING HALF WAY ACROSS THE WORLD. I WOULD RATE 5 STARS IF ALL THE EARTHQUAKES WE HAVE BEEN HAVING IN OUR COUNTRY WOULD SHOW UP.OKLAHOMA,TEXAS,MISSOURI,MICHIGAN,HAVE ALL HAD RECENT EARTHQUAKES AND NOT 1 HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THIS APP.SKUD1

This application is in need for a major update to go with all of the newest phone's that have the newest Android software application like 5.0 and up there are so many changes in newer phone's as Android operating systems are changing and this application has not changed from 2014

Failed to show US earthquake in San Fran. So wouldn't suggest this app. Also doesn't show UK quakes... News apps will supply better alerts

Great app very informative and helpful. Informs me on important changes in other parts of the world. Would like it if it instructed us on the safest location to go to in an emergency. Love the app as is too. Thank you
