Phase Bug in Mobile App

Just a small bug (IMO) in the phone app: the recent M6.6 quake in North Atlantic Ocean lists the PKIKP arrival as the P arrival.

Hello Al, thanks for the notification,

Currently, the ShakeNet App displays the waves’ main classification, with P indicating compressional waves and S indicating shear waves. In this case, even if the wave travelled through the inner core (PKIKP), it is still classified as a P-wave.
