Pros and cons of Earthquake: American Red Cross app for iPhone and iPad

Earthquake: American Red Cross app good for

Good app. Doesnt allow to search for locations outside the USA.
Was able to easily add multiple locations and people where appropriate. Correctly identified/displayed a recent earthquake. The app works great!
This app is great for warning me of earthquakes and giving me the information to prep.
People complaining about mag magnitude 0.2 being displayed all you need to do is go into the settings of the location youre monitoring and you can send it from 0.0 all way up to 10.0 and it only monitor anything above what you have it set at.
I like this app. I programmed it with family addresses in other citys and other states. As well as the address of my house and my job. Anytime there is an earthquake at any of those locations this app notifies me. And since I live in Oklahoma, the app is always going off because there is an earthquake just about once a day. Very good app, it does what it says and I like it.
Thia app is very well put together, interesting, and full of practicle and useful information. Thanks Red Cross :)

Some bad moments

My locations in the USA are pinpointed off the coast of Africa. They are listed correctly.
The app will not allow me to update radius setting on alerts. It exits the program. The app will not allow me to remove locations because it cannot detect an Internet connection. Same when attempting to add a location.
Please fix the bug that was recently introduced that resets the notification radius to 1 mile as soon as the app is closed. This is the best earthquake notification app and is currently broken. I use this app to inform me of recent events. Please look into the issue and restore the awesome notification feature. Otherwise great app.
I have dropped my rating to 1 star. I have everything set correctly but I dont receive badge notifications anymore. Seems the developers have gone backwards for improving the app. If I have my radius and magnitude set it notifies me which is great. But there are a few problems since the update. It use to let me see details if I clicked on the alert but doesnt now. Also, it would show on the map where the epicenter was. Now it just shows the map of my monitored location. It would be nice if the app synced monitored locations and notification settings. As it exist now I have to set up each device individually. Fix these issues and Ill give 5 stars.
I wanted an app that would tell me if that was an earthquake I just felt, but updates are delayed too much and its faster for me to check the USGS site. Also, I have a fairly large region because I want to know if theres a if enough one a ways away that I might feel...but it keeps telling me about little ones. Tell me about just the big ones far away, but smaller ones close by. I want to know what I might actually have felt!
It used to be great, but after some upgrades it pretty much became useless because it does not repeat your settings, want to default to other things, etc. I am uninstalling this
