Pros and cons of PREP（プレップ） - 総合防災アプリ app for iPhone and iPad

PREP（プレップ） - 総合防災アプリ app good for

Well ! Very useful to know before being shaked that you had better grab your helmet !!

Even if a registered keitai gets the warning slightly before (due to push relative slowness) this is great since we know if it worth to get under cover or just ignore it...

Thank-you to the developers for porting this app into English. I had the Japanese version before the latest update and the English version really helps. Depending on your reception quality, the alerts may come at a decent time-frame or a bit late. Either way, its good info to have. Just keep alert and stay safe out there! Thanks again to the devs for the English version...! 

Get a "connection error. Location will not be saved" message after setting up, every time. Tried wifi and network multiple times. Edit: after an update I am able to save. Seems good now, and I have changed my rating accordingly.

Thanks for listening! Please change the phrases accompanying the icons in the Shaking report section. Here are some suggestions to consider. Dont feel quake .... Felt nothing Be quake? ..... Slight tremor Little quake .... Medium quake Pretty quake .... Strong quake Oh my God! .... Very scary (or Terrifying)

Some bad moments

Dont shut it down on halloween! This app saves the lives of many people living in Japan. A strong earthquake can easily kill people. Sure, Japan has lots of early earthquake warning systems, but this is the only english app I could find for Japanese earthquake warnings! Please dont shut it down!

A completely different app to earlier versions, the previous reviews no longer apply. Many updates mean the ratings are reset. The new subscription means that my previously purchased add-on now require me to pay again...and without paying monthly the app is virtually useless. They also mistakenly(!) issued an earthquake warning for a magnitude 9 class earthquake in central Tokyo..caused a lot of panic and worry for many people. Avoid this app and use the free y -who one instead. Much better and has faster notifications. Was once a really great app, now using it to grab as much money as possible from people fearing earthquakes. Disgusting.

Terrifying false alarms and no alarm at all when a real and very large earthquake occurs...and they have the audacity to ask for a monthly fee.

I have used this app for a long time and purchased the no ads and multiple locations options. Now RC Solutions thought it is better to pay a monthly fee for the "premium" version which does the same as my previous paid add-ons. There is even "High Speed Delivery". The only problem is that now the notification come slow or later than before. If you say it is a "Premium" subscription service then make sure your "Premium" services are working correctly. Definitely a step backward.

This app gives me about a 4 second heads up on quakes. I live in the Tokyo area. It uses your location to notify you of quakes and at what level you will feel them. Because of this I am not sure some one outside of Japan would be notified. It was notifying me late, earlier in the week, but now gives me notice in advance. Neat.
