    It would be nice if tbe graph would also show a number maybe at the top in addition to the line? Also wish the recording option could be changed, as one minute is not very long. I appreciate that this app is free. There are apps out there that feel like they are more sensitive (like vibration meter), but those can be expensive so I'll continue to use this one until I find something better.

    So, today we had the practice drill. I mostly work at night and sleep in until noon. I noticed that the practice alert was at 10:21am. It's on my phone, but I didn't hear it go off. I keep my phone on silent when I sleep, but my alarm always go off and wakes me up. I thought this app would do the same. It would be awesome, if this app could override the volume settings and just go off with no problems. Just something y'all might want to look into.

    Hard to rate right now. Too new. Early on though, I am concerned that it uses a great deal of power. My battery drained really quickly and my phone is telling me to stop the app because of the large power drain. If I understand correctly, you also need to leave your location on all the time. I don't mind THIS app tracking me, but I typically leave location off so others don't. Well, if I get an extra few seconds to prepare, I guess it's ok. DEVELOPERS: How does it notify you... a sound? A text?

    One thing this app REALLY MUST HAVE is, the ability to change the notification sound. It defaults to my phone's, well, default and generic sound. There are apps that use that sound that I don't need to respond to right away. I want to change to one of the sounds I have in my library that will make me aware that there might be imminent danger.

    Update removes functionality! In the previous version, it was easy to see at a glance the size and recency of earthquakes, via size and color of the circles respectively. Now you can only see recency. Also the ability to zoom out has been reduced. Before you could see the whole Pacific at once to see the ring of fire; now you can only see part at a time. Bring back the old UI!
