MyShake is a comprehensive and free earthquake app offering these features: Earthquake Early Warnings Receive timely, potentially life-saving early warning alerts in California, Oregon and Washington. MyShake uses the USGS ShakeAlertTM system to deliver alerts for earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 (or greater) several seconds before shaking arrives. Earthquake Safety View safety tips for earthquake preparedness such as securing hazardous or moveable items and creating a disaster plan. Know what to do during an earthquake and learn more about Drop, Cover and Hold On! Earthquake Map and Details View and explore a map of earthquakes around the world and get detailed information such as earthquake magnitude, location and depth. Share your own experience of an earthquake and see community reports of shaking and damage. Earthquake Notifications Stay informed of earthquakes as they occur by receiving notifications on your phone. Select your regions of interest and the earthquake magnitude. You’ll never miss out on any earthquake greater than magnitude 3.5! Smartphone-Based Global Seismic Network Participate in a smartphone-based global seismic network. In this research project, your phone becomes a mini-seismometer and contributes to the detection of earthquakes wherever you are. This global citizen-science based seismic network has the potential to provide early warning earthquake alerts in every region of the world, even in the absence of traditional seismic networks!

MyShake Warning Lacks Oomph

The test warning for ShakeOut 2024 disappointed but is fixable.
Problem: my iphone 16 ProMax (up to date ios) warned in a low volume Siri voice, and it did not come immediately at 10:17am.
Also the iphone told me the notification came 2 minutes prior to my hearing anything. This will not work when we only have up to 30" early warning.
Potential fixes:
1. I looked at notification settings on the MyShake App and on my phone. I did see a message on the iphone settings saying the developer/app is not designed for immediate notification.
2.The MyShake notification setting was set for the App voice notification. This worked very well last year (even early at 3am, lol). This year I got Siri's low volume warning late.
3. The voice warning should be immediate and on par with the abducted child ot silver alert warning IMHO.
4. Perhaps two tests a year will educate the public?
4. MYSHAKE IS THE ONLY EQ WARNING APP. ALL THE OTHERS ARE NOTIFICATION APPS.
5. I still recommend MyShake highly. Just needs fixing.

PS. I'm an ECA speaker since the first ShakeOut, and have been touting MyShake at public Expos along with experts from CalTech.
I'm writing this on my computer and will make a copy for the iphone app store review.
I'm still a fan!!
