==============
Simple answer - almost everything to do with volcanoes. And we continue to improve it, so one day it will do everything.

# Interesting fact: every two minutes our server sends volcanic activity notifications based on VAAC (Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres) reports to many thousands of our users. On average we send about 300,000 alerts per day!

# Optionally presents 100+ volcanic webcams on the map.

# Notifies of ash clouds and displays the clouds and the forecasts on the map.

# Provides VAAC reports and aviation codes for the volcanic activity.

# Displays 7 days of seismic activity (M4+) around the globe.

# Shows weekly volcanic activity as published by Smithsonian Institution.

# Displays tectonic plates' boundaries on the map.

# Displays large airports on the map and provides basic information about them.

# Shows local earthquakes (M1+) for the areas of interest.

# Draws range rings on the map to simplify distance measurement.

# The app displays basic volcanic activity info on Today Widget and on Apple Watch.

Great app with many useful features.

Hi recently used this app on a 2 month cruise around the Indian Ocean from Perth to Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar and down to a number of ports in South Africa, Réunion Island and then returning to Perth. I was quite amazed to see the number of volcanoes we passed on our way to Singapore in the Indonesian region. The location of the various Tectonic Plates was also displayed and the way the app linked to various official volcanic activity databases was useful and brilliant too! There were many options available to the user to selectively display the data of interest on the inbuilt maps. In fact I was able to use screenshots to make maps of particular locations to display volcanoes to include in my photo collection of the journey. We did in fact visit some volcanoes and it was interesting to note the relative activity rating of each. It would be a plus if there was an option to take the screenshots in JPEG or HEIC with location data rather than PNG which doesn’t record GPS (why? It might have been justified 40 years ago when storage was a premium !) So the PNG files have to converted and GPS has to be added to allow the screenshots to appear in the correct part of the world. In this regard my iMac allows the screenshots to be automatically saved in JPG, but not the iPhone. In summary a great and capable app!

Life Saving app if the worst happens near you.

Volcanic events can be massive. If you are anywhere nearby when one goes you may die if you don’t get out ASAP.

It also helps to understand the dynamic nature of our world. Knowledge is power. Seeing how many volcanoes are active on any given day can be very educational and give you a sense of normal or out of the normal amounts of activity.

If Yellowstone ever goes pop, there goes the world. Be prepared and pay attention. Change is inevitable but preparedness is up to you.
