#1 Earthquake app for iPhone and iPad.
This app is brought to you by SMS Tsunami Warning, the award-winning earthquake monitoring app since 2011.
The app turns your phone into an alert system for earthquakes and tsunamis. It monitors seismic activity worldwide 24/7 and it delivers an alert to your iOS device if conditions are met (magnitude, user’s distance from quake, etc.). Alerts are delivered as push notifications with a loud siren sound.
APP FEATURES
- Live earthquake map
- Beautiful simple design, easy to use

The user interface is simple and easy to use. For a better reading, the map only shows "significant" earthquakes (with magnitude equal to or bigger than 4.5 on the Richter scale) detected globally in the last 24 hours. In the Settings screen, you can set your parameters for receiving the alerts (ie. user’s distance from the quake’s epicenter and magnitude). After the parameters are set, you can enable (or disable) the alarm system in one touch for total peace of mind. The app supports both metric and imperial measurement systems (Kilometers / Miles) to assess distances.
Each quake is represented by a marker on the map. Tap on the marker to open the details panel and dig more into the quake's data (depth, population estimates, etc.). The app is directly connected to our web platform, where you can learn more about a specific seismic event or, in general, get access to a vast literature concerning earthquakes and tsunamis (fault lines, features, history, etc.).
The app is a great educational tool and it offers a vital alert service, especially to those living by the coastline or in seismic regions.
The app is free and it contains NO ads. Push alerts are offered as in-app purchase for tiny $2.99 yearly fee (it may change slightly based on your country).

Reliable Alerts for Peace of Mind Near One of the World’s Most Dangerous Dams
Living near the Mullaperiyar Dam in Kerala, one of the most dangerous dams in the world, has made reliable alerts crucial for me. Situated in a seismic zone, the potential risks are significant. I’ve subscribed to both the iOS app and voice/SMS alerts for extra precaution. The Quake alert app has proven effective, delivering timely notifications and proving reassurance. Being two hours away from the dam, I find the app’s performance dependable, making it a valuable tool for anyone in similar high-risk areas.
