After selecting language (English), it asks to select Country of origin. Any country you choose it says "Error". App is unusable. Update: I spoke with the developers and the problem was due to high demand because of the recent earthquake. I tried it again and it seems ok.

Doesn't work with Galaxy Note 8. It can't save English / Japanese configuration. (Error) Update: it is working now. I took my phone out of its case and completed the configuration. Another issue was typhoon Hag ibis and Internet connections in Japan.
★★★★☆Meike Groh· Oct 8, 2024
So far so good. Just wondering, is there a feature for offline use? In a disaster situation I imagine Wi-Fi and cell connection could be down for a while.

For three days before the hurricane hit, I tried to use this app, but it refused to move past the "select your country of origin" screen and asked me to try again later. Now, the morning after, I just tried it again on a whim and it worked. Guys, I understand that you want to collect survey data, but maybe not being able to do that shouldn't make the app stop working and not give vital emergency information.
★☆☆☆☆R. Scott Clark· Oct 12, 2019
Useless. The app fails immediately after selecting the language and country of origin, saying "this modification could not be saved".
★☆☆☆☆Lewis Barclay· Oct 12, 2019
Can't get past the 'select country of origin' page after selecting English for language. No matter what country I choose, it'll load for a bit and then an error message flashes up saying I can't select that country because it can't be saved.

Crashes at country selection... would be nice to get alerts for this super typhoon...
