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.

All the negative reviews seem to be years old. The app works great and allows you to manually or automatically set your location (remember to update if you’re traveling). Relevant alerts in English are incredibly helpful.

I downloaded this app on the recommendation of the JR Pass website. Couldn’t even set up my locations and preferences without it crashing and closing repeatedly. Doesn’t even save the info I had managed to add. I have no idea why “developers” would leave this app published. Pretty embarrassing.
