Ratings and Reviews
New Zealand Geonet
Hi my son now lives in New Zealand and my first port of call every morning is a quick look at my app.
Although we have been to NZ and understand the nature of the terrain it is difficult not to worry , this app has certainly calmed me down as I have phoned my son who has slept through some earthquakes ( over a thousand reports in the area ) and he sleeps throughout ! with flippant remarks like oh yes the pictures have moved!
Still does not stop the worry but is reassuring, thank you
Great for keeping up with folk at home
It is so good to know where things are happening back home. Lots of comfort in seeing where to direct thoughts and prayers. The phone app is equally as good and can be set to alert when big things happen
His app
Very interesting
