There have been frequent earthquakes across Taiwan for a while, and many people are worried that the lack of notification of national disaster warnings may delay their disaster prevention and evacuation time. We have also recommended a number of earthquake warning apps to iOS and Android users respectively, which can provide early warning before the impact of earthquakes, and at the same time maintain vigilance for disasters, including one “KNY Earthquake Report” that was only available on the Android platform at the time. This app was wanted by many iOS users at the time, and now it is finally available on the App Store!
KNY Earthquake Report App iOS version officially launched: supports dynamic island and real-time dynamic display
No one wants a disaster to happen, and it is difficult to avoid a sudden earthquake. However, we can use some earthquake warning apps to help us notify ourselves in advance before an earthquake arrives. Just having tens of seconds longer to evacuate may reduce the chance of a serious disaster. We have previously introduced a useful app for Android, “KNY Taiwan Weather. Earthquake Early Report APP”, which not only detects earthquakes, but also integrates information such as weather forecasts, radar echo maps, and satellite cloud images.
Recently, the KNY team finally launched the “KNY Earthquake Report” App on the iOS platform! Although it is not as rich in weather observation information as the Android version, the earthquake notification function that iPhone users want is the biggest feature of this app. The interface information is clear and easy to read, and relevant information can be quickly obtained during earthquake notifications. The KNY Earthquake Alert App can remind users of the countdown time to detect the impact of earthquake waves, as well as the estimated intensity, scale, epicenter location and other information. The important thing is that this App is free!
When you open the KNY Earthquake Alert App for the first time, you must first allow relevant permissions such as location, sending notifications, and sending “important reminders” so that you will not miss notifications when an earthquake strikes!
The KNY Earthquake Early Warning App mainly cooperates with the Taiwan Meteorological Bureau and has built-in “Earthquake Early Warning (EEW)”. It can use the KNY system to detect the scale, distance and depth of various predicted earthquakes in Taiwan at any time. In the event of an earthquake, the “KNY Earthquake Alert” App will immediately pop up a full-screen KNY strong earthquake real-time warning reminder, and will broadcast voice notifications, light up the camera flash, and shake reminders. The map will display earthquake intensity estimates in various places. If relatives and friends live in other counties and cities, this function allows you to understand the earthquake intensity in other cities.
The author believes that the KNY Earthquake Early Warning App can provide early warning of the arrival time of shock waves, which is easy for users of all ages to understand. It can provide early warning and gain more time for evacuation. I also recommend that you share this article with your elders at home, or directly install the KNY Earthquake Early Warning App on their mobile phones!
If you are using an iPhone 15 Pro series mobile phone, you should be familiar with Apple’s “Dynamic Island” function, right? Since the KNY Earthquake Report App supports the Taishima function, even if the KNY Earthquake Report App is not usually opened, if you are using an iPhone with “Dynamic Island” at this time, in addition to the daily music player, Uber vehicle arrival time, and UberEats delivery meal arrival time, the Dynamic Island can now also display the earthquake intensity, scale and seismic wave countdown
In addition, the KNY Earthquake Report App can also be displayed as “Live Activity” on the lock screen above the lock screen wallpaper.
If you want to check recent earthquake reports across Taiwan, you can also check them directly on the KNY Earthquake Report App. The content of the earthquake report here is very clear. Information such as the time of the earthquake, the location of the epicenter, how many days ago it occurred, the scale, and the intensity of the earthquake in the location are all fully displayed. The earthquake magnitude is also presented in different colors to facilitate users to identify it faster.
In terms of settings, users can further adjust the notifications of the KNY Earthquake Alert App according to their own usage habits, such as automatically displaying earthquake alerts and a full-screen countdown screen when an earthquake strikes. It is recommended to keep this feature turned on.
In addition, below you can choose to have earthquake alerts, full-screen screen warning, iPhone vibration, LED light (main camera flash), and sound reminders. In this section, it is recommended to turn on at least two of these settings to avoid missing earthquake notifications! The “sound” prompt volume is based on the user’s mobile phone system volume. Therefore, the user also needs to manually increase the mobile phone system volume to hear the warning sound during an earthquake warning.
If you are using an iPhone that supports the “Dynamic Island” function and the KNY Earthquake Alert notifies you of an earthquake, but cannot display the countdown information normally, you can go to the “KNY Earthquake Alert” settings to confirm whether the “Dynamic Island” is turned on. According to the information currently displayed on the KNY Earthquake Report App, the dynamic island function is currently available for trial use by the first wave of users. It is uncertain whether the dynamic island function will continue to be available to free users in the future.
Due to differences in the magnitude of earthquakes, the magnitude of earthquakes will also vary by location. Users can set the KNY earthquake warning to be specific to the local earthquake intensity. Different earthquake magnitudes have independent warning settings and prompt volumes. This part depends on the user’s preferences and usage habits!
From current observations, the KNY Earthquake Alert App may continue to optimize its functions in the future. You can also download and try it first, so that you can avoid early warning when the next earthquake strikes and have more time to prepare for earthquake disaster prevention! It is strongly recommended that iOS users quickly download and use the KNY Earthquake Report App. Be sure to download it for your family members, and recommend friends and colleagues around you to use it. More precautions can make you safer and safer.
If you haven’t downloaded it yet, Android users can also go to the Google Play Store to download the “KNY Taiwan Weather. Earthquake Early Report APP” we introduced before. The Android version has more weather-related observation functions.
