Reviews of QuakeWatch

  • Very Helpful App

    The information is nearly instantaneous. Living in earthquake rich territory makes this app indespensable. When I feel shaking I open the app and within minutes have magnitude, location, depth, and distance from where I am. No frills, just solid science and up to the minute seismic information.
  • Its A Good App

    QuakeWatch is a good app. It works as advertised. My only real problem is there seems to be no way to contact the developer. When I go to the link to contact the developer all I get is a 404 error. Does that mean there's going to be no future updates?
  • Great app

    If you want to keep track of earth quakes around they globe, this is the app to have!
