Leave a Review QuakeFeed Earthquake Tracker
Response time getting worse
This app is amazing. I was in class while classmate was giving a presentation and the earthquake notification was alerted before the wave of the earthquake his our building in SF. About 30-60sec before and I was so impress cuz that would be enough time to run away from the glass walls in case they shatters. But in the last year this amazing app seems to be notifying late. I just got a notification 5mins after an Earthquake hit in Berkeley. The last couple have been around the same delay time. So heads up to the tech people working on the app cuz this is an amazing app and there is something off in the delay of notification on the app. 5 mins after an earthquake hits near you is way to late. Especially since for years itβs notifications seemed to be under a minute from impact. Use to a notification first then seconds later the building being hit by the wave or shaking from quakes in the local region.Show lessWorks great for earthquake and fire info and notifications
I really enjoy Quakefeed. It provides useful information about earthquakes and wildfires (also hurricanes and volcanoes, but I don't have any of those nearby). I live in the San Diego area.
Personally, whenever there is an earthquake of note, it ALWAYS shows up on my phone within seconds. I'm not sure if this is because the USGS SoCal alerts are more sensitive, but it does work for me as an alert system. However, I still use the county Emergency Alert app as well.
The amount of information you can get from QuakeFeed is amazing, especially historical USGS. Seeing the shake impact of the 1906 is impressive. I really like the "nearby earthquake" alert as I do travel to the Bay Area in occasional. Also, the app has several useful map selections, including fault lines and earthquake risk level.
Most of the advanced features require a subscription, but it is very reasonably priced with a free trial period. You can still get basic earthquake alerts for free, however.
I have been using the free version for years. With the additional information provided, I have decided to subscribe.Show lessInformational tool everyone should have
Works great and very effective at doing what itβs built to do. This app quickly informs me and my loved ones of earthquakes happening around me once the nearest sensor to the quake receives the first shockwave. You can also adjust the radius and intensity of the earthquakes you would like to be notified about. Well built and highly recommended. I had the premium trial and it is even better but the free version is just as informative. The economy is struggling with inflation and in not exempt so prioritizing things are a must but once I am in the position I will return to the premium version of the app. Keep up the great work QuakeFeed team and developers.
