No English information available in a disaster. 1 star review until fixed. No excuses from devs below accepted.

Good app but as it's not multilingual, please allow copying of text to enable non-Japanese subscribers to copy & paste text portions into a J-E translation (or kanji) dictionary. You might also want to provide a direct link to other sites that do provide emergency info in English and/or other languages (e.g., NHK World News etc.). よろしくお願いいたします。

1. Horrible, overbloated design like from early 2000s. Most apps here are like that, though - think of PayPay, all konbini apps. Someone thinks that throwing all info at the user is useful. No, it's not. If there's section, then there should be only relevant information. 2. View network connections and other permissions? Why on Earth? 3. Why it communicates on https and http? Why not only https tunnel? What about DNS requests? This seems as a rather amateur made app. Paid by our taxes..
