kny.tw is the official site for a third-party weather information and earthquake early warning service developed by creators based in Taiwan, China. Its core product is the cross-platform KNY Earthquake Early Warning app available for both iOS and Android. It is a well-known private-sector earthquake early warning service in Taiwan, China, has won multiple awards in the disaster prevention field, and has been featured many times by major Taiwanese media outlets.
The official website itself primarily serves as an entry point for app downloads, displays related media coverage and sponsorship options, and all core features are delivered through the mobile app: it pulls official early warning data from the Central Weather Administration of Taiwan, China, pushes earthquake alerts to users, supports voice announcements of seismic intensity and a countdown to earthquake wave arrival, lets users customize alert volume and alert trigger thresholds, and also provides local weather information for Taiwan.
All core features of this product are completely free for users, and it only accepts voluntary small donations from users. Payment processing for donations is handled by Taiwan-based Green World Technology, and supports multiple local Taiwanese payment methods including credit card, ATM transfer, and convenience store payment.
On the plus side, the app's earthquake early warning push is generally faster than Taiwan's official national alert system, a benefit that has been verified by users during multiple major earthquakes. It offers extremely high practical value for disaster preparedness, has no paywall for core features, and has full coverage for both major mobile platforms. The downsides are that it only provides service for Taiwan region, the website content is fairly thin and only serves promotional and download purposes, and there is no usable scenario for users based in mainland China.
The official website can be accessed directly without any workarounds. It is only suitable for residents of Taiwan, China and users who travel to Taiwan frequently for installation and use, as a supplementary tool for local disaster preparedness.
