Finally..
Living in Mexico city we had something like this for a while . But now I live in Los Angeles California and I don't know how people in the US are gonna react when they get the warning a strong earthquake is coming because people In Mexico are already use to getting them alerts that say "Strong earthquake is coming " since they have so many strong earthquakes and an early warning on their phone and they had them for a while . So since this is gonna be new to people in the US who knows how they gonna react ! Also I think we need the Alarm. I know that they have them were they have tornadoes in the US .But in Mexico city when u get the notification on your phone the Air raid siren also goes on really loud all over the city the first time I had no idea what was happening I tought a war was happening when I heard the alarm all over the city till I saw everyone running outside and they were screaming earthquake and sure enough 30 seconds later BAM strong earthquake hit . They should have those in California not only in places were they have tornadoes so people can have time to go hide ! I saw it helps they had about 30 seconds to get outside .

Works for me
Everyone in here complaining about little bugs as if they never experienced something like that in another app. This is a free earthquake warning app that could potentially save your life, stop complaining and grow up. I just downloaded the app and had no issues with using it, but it’s an early warning app not a game, so whatever people are complaining about is pointless because the main function of the app is to send you a push notification. One thing I did really like is how I can look at the seismograph of past earthquakes to see the pattern of shaking. I was six during the ‘89 quake and still remember how the shaking felt like it was yesterday. Any kind of advance warning will be helpful.

App freezes up
Same issue as precious reviewer - try to fill out a report but app constantly freezes up. Have done several forced app shutdowns and retried to enter info, same result - can't file a report. Other than that, it looks like it is simple to use and has a nice look to it UPDATE: I upped my rating as I'm now able to make reports without issues after the app update. Very easy to use app. Would like to see if you can get alerts for certain areas only; as another person indicated, you get alerts for quakes all around the world. But this isn't affecting my rating since the purpose of the app is being accomplished :)
