    I live in Puerto Rico and there was an Earthquake of 8.0 this morning at 4am. I wake up and check my phone to see if any more happen before, after that I keep checking my phone to see where it happen. Half an hour later I get the notification, more happen after wards and I don’t get a notification of the location. About four hours later another Earthquakes hits, I check my phone and nothing and at the time I’m scared cause I don’t know where it was so I worry even more. 40 minutes later I get the notification of it. Last year I don’t remember exactly when, there was a small earthquake and I got the notification quickly and I was calm cause I could keep track of them. But today is Not a good day for the app to be failing at loading my location and saying there was a problem, It failed me at the worst time...

    Red Cross/ 3 Sided Cube — I'm a beta tester for the Red Cross, and have been telling you this for YEARS: You MUST fix the ability to choose which number from within each Contacts listing is to be called when the "I'm Safe" button is clicked. As it is, the top number on the Contact list is the default — there is no way to select WHICH number for the app to text. Are users to go through their Contacts list and rearrange all the phone numbers to appease the app quirks? Certainly a landline auto-message asking for 25¢ to place a call is not very convenient when the ceiling has fallen in during a natural disaster. Also, what about an option to send an "I'm Safe" email vs. texting?Without these options, the apps are pretty much worthless and do not meet with your mission statement. Your agency was created to SUPPORT those affected by emergencies. These apps are falling short. In addition: I just gotta notice for an earthquake 150 miles away when my radius is 25.

    Received notification 10 minutes after it happened. Needs to be sooner!

    This app formerly allowed me to monitor locations important to me in Canada and Mexico, but a recent update erased all my monitored locations and removed the ability to select locations outside the US. That is unfortunate, and is not an improvement. My inquiry was answered that the app never had the capability of monitoring outside the US, however, I had these locations saved, monitored, and received alerts for them for many years before they disappeared. I do not wish to malign the app, I simply want what was once a working function to be restored.

    The “Alerts” section, which has an area tracking feature (pick an address/city and mile radius to monitor), is a good idea but doesn’t work in real time. Likewise, the “Maps” feature has an option to show earthquakes... but this does not work either. It’s very frustrating, as it claims to show all earthquakes within the past 30 days yet this is clearly not the case. This app would be 5 stars if he most critical features worked.
