Dormant developmentperformanceopaqueShow more...
The app has not seen a release in over 17 months, placing it firmly in the zombie category. The most recent activity was a technical update for Android API compliance in December 2025, following a long period of inactivity since the iOS GDPR update in early 2024.

Key takeaways for Poli Earthquake Safety
Where is it heading?
The educational app market is consolidating around high-frequency content updates, leaving Poli Earthquake Safety exposed due to its 17-month update silence. The PM must shift from maintenance to active content cycles to prevent further erosion of the user base.
- Technical instability post-update (loading freezes) erodes the daily active habit, which compounds the rating drag already visible on Android.
- Users report: Inappropriate ad-targeting in a child-focused app risks long-term brand trust, which may lead to increased churn among safety-conscious parents.
The SWOT
- Government-verified safety standards establish high credibility
- Avatar personalization drives emotional investment
- Robocar Poli IP provides immediate brand recognition
- B2B partnerships with preschools for safety curriculum distribution
- Wearable integration for emergency alerts
