Volcanoes & Earthquakes users say on Google Play
I just bought the pro version. Please if you want to make me happy, add custom alerts to mag 1 to 9. I downloaded these cool sound effects to match. that's only reason I paid for premium. currently is 4 to 7+. Also I'd like it if it would front load the location on the notification, cus I'm wearing a smart watch, it takes a long time for the location to appear on my watch compared to the other apps. I want to quickly look at my watch and see magnitude and location at an easy glance.
This app has a great deal of info.Took some getting used to,eg: a few of the'Settings'are confusing&it's hard to get the settings to 'take'(km/miles).Dont care for the political('GulfOfAmerica'). Wish it was an early warning system-but I don't think the science is quite there yet.😕For information purposes it's terrific.Would like to see length of earthquake times(how long the EQ lasted according to sensors - if poss?) TYVM DEVS!
I like the app, but it's a resource hog. I had to uninstall it because it was using six percent of my battery and there's no way to turn any of the things off without upgrading to the paid version Edit answer to reply: the notifications are either all or none. The only option you can modify is the magnitude and even set at 5.0, it was still draining six percent of the battery. Being able to select individual Volcanoes only for free is what would reduce it.
I have used this app daily for many years. recent changes have made the app unusable as I can not find a way to set it back to how it worked in the past. I am now testing replacement apps
The reason why I give it a one start is 2. This app can help save people life, but it's plagued with adds, that will delay life saving actions and up to date data
