Leave a Review QuakeFeed Earthquake Tracker
Worth the Subscription Price!
This is a great informative application, even if you are or aren’t extremely interested in active volcanoes or wild fires. This is a great tool for tracking, learning about where, when and severity of the increasingly frequent geological activities around the world. All of the volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and wildfires are shown on an easy to use interface and can send you warnings if you are in a place where you could be in danger. This is a great application and is worth the yearly subscription price. The only thing I wish they could add to the app is some sort of winter storm tracking. No matter what, very great application to have!Show lessJib_it

Thank you, glad you love the easy to use interface and the additional data layers for wildfires, volcanoes, and hurricanes. We are considering adding winter storm tracking, so we appreciate hearing your feedback on this. Thank you!Far better than the other “best” app of this kind
I used what I thought was the best app for quake notifications for years. Then a sudden disability made me unable to see and operate that one, and I searched for another.
Not only does this app fully accommodate me while using high contrast dark mode with larger fonts, but I can’t think of a single way that this app isn’t the equal of our better than any other app of its kind.
I am beyond satisfied.Show lessSteve Meacham

I have been using QuakeFeed for about 5 years now. I started using it when I saw an ad for it and thought, what a novel idea. I probably don’t know how to use every feature but what I do use works perfectly every time. It has never crashed and never failed to give plenty of details about every quake on earth.
I have mine set to alert me to any quake 6.0 or higher. All number it gives out are true except those in the states. But I believe the USGS downplays all US quakes by .3 to make them sound lighter than the actual. That happens regularly. Example, QuakeFeed alerts me to a 7.4 in Alaska, ten minutes later the USGS says it was a 7.1, so thats all I can say about that.
Please keep up the good work. And Thank you for a great productShow lessSequoia Tom

Thank you, we'll keep up the good work! :)Love this app!
I live in Southcentral Alaska, site of the strongest (9.2) earthquake in North America, second only to the 9.5 Chilean earthquake of 1960. Anyone living along the Ring of Fire should have an earthquake app for safety. You can customize alerts any way you want- by magnitude, distance, date, etc, so you won’t be alerted for events that don’t interest you.
My feedback is for the “Erupting Volcanos” feature.
While a little red pyramid is fine for active (rather than dormant or extinct) volcanoes, it would be helpful to have more information, at a glance, on the volcanoes which are actively erupting.
For example, the Las Palmas (Canary Islands) volcano is in the midst of a violent, destructive eruption, but the icon is no different than hundreds of other active volcanos.
Maybe active volcanoes could have a green icon and erupting ones red or something. Also, there could be a blurb of current information when one clicks on the icon, other than to simply give its size, coordinates, and a link.
Basic information about the current eruption could be on the info page, the same as with earthquakes, without having to click on a web URLShow lessAlaskaBarb

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! All of the volcanoes displayed on the map are currently erupting. If you tap on a symbol, it will display the volcano details screen. Tap or pull up on the panel at the bottom of the details to see more information, including a link to that volcano’s page on the Smithsonian Volcanoes website, which has the most comprehensive information available. If you do not see this details screen, then you have an outdated version of QuakeFeed installed. Download the latest version to access these powerful volcano features plus wildfires and hurricanes data.Wildfire update doesn’t work.
I’ve used the earthquake app for a while and it’s great. I wanted to add the wildfires because I’m a Californian and we are having a problem with that. The instructions given to me by the app developer did not work. I was told to go to a link that’s not there and I wasn’t given a return email address so that I could communicate with them.
This is probably an easy problem to fix but it’s too difficult to get customer service. I’ve looked all through the purchase page as I deleted the app and re-purchased it but it still didn’t work. I couldn’t find anything there that allowed me to contact the company.Show lessedukehtoer
Doesn’t record quakes in my area, took off New Madrid Fault
Bloomfield, Missouri just had a 4.3 earthquake (actually 2 simultaneously but does not register on the map. The only proof I have is the notifications that popped up on my locked Screen. When I went to the map to view where Bloomfield Missouri is, there’s no record of them.
When I first downloaded the map a couple years ago there was evidence of New Madrid Fault. As of a few months ago, New Madrid Fault is non-exsistant. I emailed them to ask why it’s no longer on the map and he said because my settings were not set right. But they are set right.
It makes me wonder what is the USGS hiding.Show lessRaft Non Survivor
My go to app to learn and report
I am an earthquake geek after growing up in CA. This app helps in so many ways. I have been able to send messages to friends and family to let them know to check on their family as well! If you want learn about our changing planet this is a good place to start. You can email questions and they will try to answer you or direct you to the answer! All I can say is this will hep you know where they happen and give you the much needed information to prepare your next move!Show lessDeadeye180
The best!
QuakeFeed is one of my few favorite apps! I use it as a map too. Instant notifications of earthquakes, and any possible tsunamis link that connects you to more information like distance of warnings, watches, and more. Tap on one of the categorized lines, and the app tells you what it is, exp, faults diversions transitions, basins, everything! The continents are always on the move. I've had this app for many years. I would never go without it.

Shaky shaky!
Living in the Eastern Sierra of California I have followed geologic activity for a very long time. I’ve use this app since it first came out and I can’t begin to think the developers enough. My mom is a retired registered geologist and gets excited and asks me, “what magnitude was that?!”
We have felt the majority of these recent earthquakes in California. And living in a very old structure, it’s always nice to know that we are still standing even though we had something over 4.0 🙂I highly recommend this app. It’s simple, it’s accurate, and it can tell you about earthquakes worldwideShow lessBrinnlit

Thanks so much for the feedback! Stay safe!‘Informative QuakeFeed.’
I’ve always liked QuakeFeed, but what have you done with your maps you had in the version just before
this current version? That map was as good, or better than Google Earth ! But now you no longer have it. Too bad . I don’t like these new maps as much. Another thing you should do is to list the country or island name & not the city or capital name. That creates a lot of confusion. Thanks . Keep improving . How about showing some Mangle plume / hot spot locations . Anyway keep up the good work !!.Show lessKuaika.
