What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"This apps is so helpful"

"言語設定に問題がある。 試してみればわかると思うが、例えばベトナム語を押すと全てがベトナム語になるため、日本語に戻そうと思ってもどれが日本語かわからなくなる。もちろんどの言語を選んでも同じだ。つまり、外国人にとっても、カタカナが読めないと母語を選べない。 多言語対応しているというなら、せめて言語設定の画面は考慮していただきたい。"

"Does as described. It just works well."

"I got a tsunami warning telling me to run for high ground even though the tsunami was headed to Miyagi and I am far far away in Kanagawa. If this app is going to be like the boy who cried wolf what is the point? response to response- if other apps like yahoo can give relevant alerts in japanese why can't this one? giving someone an alert to run for high ground due to a tsunami when that person is nowhere near the tsunami zone is worse than pointless. it creates fear and panic for no reason."

"Able to select language but unable to select country of origin. Application won't run without this selection being completed. Please fix this so it works properly. It is not useful to have an application for foreigners in Japan if it doesn't work. If this was for Japanese public it would have been fixed immediately!"

"Really good app! I love it. Thank you!"
Omar Huseynguluzade
"Need an option to turn off the stupid heat advisory warnings... Yes I know it is hot and humid outside in Japanese summer, I don't need to be reminded of it everyday..."
