Not a useful app!
You definitely can find better info. just by googling! The app is not user-friendly.

Will not stop crashing!
I was excited about this app, and it worked for a little while until the new update. Now it won’t stop crashing!

Consistant Crashes
Trying to add more than one disaster location crashes the app. The user interface and navigation are baroque and clumsy to use.

Hmmm...
This would be such a help for expats like us who live in Japan. However, the app will not allow me to add any locations, nor set my location using GPS, city, prefecture, or nearby landmarks.

A Must Have App in Japan Or Outside if You Care
Most updated, almost real-time status on things in Japan that you normally don’t experience elsewhere. Warnings about the pending disaster such as earthquake, volcano eruption, etc. provided promptly. Also lists the questions for foreigners to ask in multiple languages during the emergency. However user needs to know the name of areas of the interest to have more focused information provided. Highly, highly, recommended for travelers when traveling inside Japan.

New version crashes
Previous version was fine and I used it quite often. Updated yesterday and the app stays in the background, but disappears from the screen if chosen from the app stack. I can swipe to stop the app, but reopening it brings up the last opened settings tourist location page. Have replicated this issue on both an iPhone 6 and 6s Plus.
