Leave a Review QuakeFeed Earthquake Tracker
  • Indispensable app

    I learned about QuakeFeed when radio legend Art Bell raved about it one night, and immediately added it to my arsenal of essential "earth changes" apps. Getting alerts in real time is vital for everyone because quakes can happen anywhere, anytime, and this app delivers. I not only monitor my own region but importantly, that of my friends' in the often shaky Los Angeles area.
    It's a bargain to buy the full version for a very nominal fee for the features you get, and the developers deserve every penny. They have configured fascinating world map details with fault lines, pinpoints for quakes with magnitudes, and even mark major fires across the U.S.
    They generously helped me with an issue when I was a "free" user so they support their product all the way. Anyone who is interested in earth sciences, the "quickening," or just staying safe needs QuakeFeed!

  • QuakeFeed

    Really preferred previous version of map. This one is too dark and seems to lose clarity in context of where the earthquake location is at in relation to where I live. Downloaded this app after earthquake in San Francisco Bay Area near where I worked to be kept informed. Was even more fascinated then when all earthquakes could be pinpointed on the maps and shown in relation to California on the rim of fire. Was helpful in seeing location of earthquake in Turkey in relationship to where some family members were located in southern Armenia. Liked being able to participate and say if I felt an earthquake in California, though only used once, but still if we sense some motion check to see if it’s an earthquake. Great app, but don’t care for the new map.

    The latest update v6.1 has both a 2D (flat) and 3D (globe) world imagery basemaps :)
  • Thank you to the App Developer for responding to my update review.

    **Will update my review after using fixed features. Thank you to the developers for fixing my favorite earthquake app in the Apple store and replying to my updated review. The ads appear to be gone again for paid subscribers.** I cannot select a choice to refresh or look for my paid subscription. There’s only a choice to purchase another one. Wish the paid option gave me more data and all notifications didn’t disappear after clicking on only 1 new notification, because then you have no idea what the other notifications were.

    Use the App Store app to verify your subscription status as follows: open the App Store app, tap the circle in the top right corner, tap subscriptions, verify that QuakeFeed is active. If you do have an active subscription then do the following to reinstall it: open QuakeFeed, tap the Settings button in the bottom right corner, tap Restore.
  • Pretty cool app but some problems

    Ok nice app. It’s decently accurate and has an easy to use interface. But the premium advertising is a bit much… the premium practically makes it 3 apps in one. That’s a lot! Why not just make separate apps? Plus the app is called QuakeFeed. Not earthquake-wildfire-whatever comes next tracker! Also the map is kinda confusing. They give you no know-how on what the green and red lines are for. And I’m a kid with a phone, so how should I know? Overall I would recommend If you don’t really care about paying for apps or If you don’t care about seeable features having a virtual lock on them. But it’s getting late (11:00) (WHY AM I UP AT THIS TIME WRITING REVIEWS?!?!?!?!) AHHHHHHH!!!

    Thanks for the great review! :) Yes, Premium is like 3 apps in one. The places in the USA that have lots of earthquakes also have lots of wildfires. And in PR there are earthquakes + hurricanes. The map has a legend. See the three buttons in the top right corner of the map? The bottom one is for the legend.
  • Fast Reporting - Easy to read - Some missing info

    QuakeFeed has been reliable until the latest update (5.3) which now seems to be no longer listing the earthquakes sequentially in the feed as it was in earlier versions. Suddenly it has lost the ability to list them.
    There are several apps out there for earthquake reporting. Many have fancy accessories, and some even have live tracking. The best part of QF is simple and comprehensive without being overly complex.

  • Good app

    No one ever thought there would be earthquakes in Kansas significant enough to startle you out of bed. But for several years we’ve been feeling them more and more. It’s nice to see what’s happening by having this app handy now. I do wish it would distinguish between Kansas and Arkansas though. I paid the extra too to be able to monitor the wildfires as I have family in California and it’s nice to know where the fires are burning in relation to where they live.

  • Quakefeed Is a great App, well designed.

    This App has to be one of the best in its class for reporting seismic action around the globe. It is easy to use and delivers great reporting immediately after the event. Its filters allow the user multiple ways to sort and view the data. There is a varied assortment of maps and with ease one can scroll around the area affected by the earthquake making it a fun and attractive App to use. Best in its class. I recommend adding the ability to sort three ways; and, more ways to choose an area and save the configuration for monitoring.

    One request: I cannot read the light color small print please make it black or white

    Thank you so much for the kind words and for the feedback!
  • Still love this App

    Yes, the price increased a bit. A whole $4 increase per year! If that’s a problem then you likely have more important things to worry about. $5/year is a very worthwhile price. It does everything you could want from an earthquake App, extremely configurable and quick (we had a 5.2 about a year ago…the notification showed up within minutes). Very useful tool…thank you!

  • Useful and interesting

    Having a global feed of activity is fascinating to watch - got the app to have rapid information on shakers in Southern California (which worked great) but found ourselves watching events everywhere- response is surprisingly rapid and the app keeps getting better and including more features. Always have a picture of what’s happened well before any news channels report out

  • Need to add more location information in fire description names

    Upgraded to the full version including fire and large storms (ver 5.2.1). Very happy with the QuakeFeed application and have been using it for years. The fire descriptions should also include at a minimum State location, if not even a close city description as well. Sorting is allowed by distance size etc, but if you are checking an area of concern you may not know the fire name. Please consider adding additional location information in the fire description field for those checking to see other states maybe for family/friends safety.
