Love to look at this app ! Always interested in earthquakes and as Nother app user said something is making many more happen around the world ? Is it global warming , HARRP ,or just what our earth does every so many years ? Wish this app would talk little more bout that but overall I love it look at it everyday even tho in Indiana where I live we don't have many ? But one question is that we do have a fault line near us the New Madrid n has caused some quakes since I've been alive but nothing bad . But in many years b4 this fault has caused some very large ones ! Just wondered why this fault isn't on map ? Other than that I love this app & would recommend anyone with interest in quakes defiantly get it !!!! Ty for all the great info!!!!!Show lessIndianamamoo

Thanks for the feedback! We are researching good sources of fault data for the New Madrid Seismic Zone.Awesome App
I’ve been studying and trying to learn about earthquakes since the 7.1 and 6.4 Quakes hit Ridgecrest, CA in 2019. I’ve been downloading apps to tell me Earthquakes around the world but none haven’t been that good. This app tho is awesome. It’s always on top of what and where an earthquake has hit. It don’t take up any storage either. Anyways all I wanna say is it’s a great app and it’s perfect if your trying to learn more or study about earthquakes.Show lessGiantsMetsCuse
Irritating Ad CLUTTER!
I used to really like Quakefeed as a quick, reliable emergency alert source for quake information & notifications (does that well still), but they've more recently decided to add ANNOYING popup, full-page advertisements that blocks access to critical features and setting options -- even putting up an "open" option that is masking a hyperlink to the stupid ad's company page.
It then forces you to SHUTDOWN the app and RE-START it to get the info or settings you originally wanted to use...oh, and CLOSE the IRRITATING hyperlinked ad page popping up on our browsers, too! Just wholly engineered DETOUR programming!
Maybe it is a way to get us app users to buy the "upgrade" to their AD-FREE "Premium App Service," but pulling this kind of online BOTTLE-NECKING of its emergency information is NOT an effective way to convince us CONSUMERS for their premium app! Tsk, tsk...Show lessmiid-2007MBPgeriatricWarrior!

We are not a public service, and we are not "bottle necking" emergency information. QuakeFeed is an educational app, created by a 2-person developer team. It costs time and money to create and support the app and to pay for the server costs. QuakeFeed offers an ad-supported version and a reasonably priced Premium subscription. The subscription includes some really cool mapping features and also removes ads. If you think ads are annoying, then you should consider subscribing to the Premium version.Does an okay job
Not sure if it is my location or if it is not the app, but depending where you live it has a 50/50 chance to warn you of an earthquake or other land disaster... where I live there’s been several times an earthquake but it is not shown in the system. I have no way to tell how strong the quakes are but have been watching the cracks looking like it is breathing when there is a quake and its aftermath. Last time there was a big one it had to be 4.0 to show up in the system, that means that the Madrid line is being active in my area... anything less than 4 will not show so there’s no way to tell when a bigger one comes until it is too late.Show lessTraveling Dust

Outstanding app!!! This is always up to date at the moment it happens. When the Nepal quake hit I new it was going to be bad due to its rating. This app allows us non-profits to be ahead of the rest of society to provide support readiness before anyone else. We are asked "how did you know and get so prepared when it just happened?"
Only future upgrade I would like to see is a yearly layering option of 1, 2, 5,10, 20, 50, and 100 years if at all possible. With the option of current alerts magnitudes. This would allow some research to be done.

Thanks so much, glad that QuakeFeed has been helpful. We appreciate your idea for a feature request. We have been thinking of adding a feature that would allow you to search the USGS earthquake catalog. It's good to hear that might be useful, we will try to work that into our plans for later this year :)My Earthquake
Last night at 1:13 am my daughter ran
In my room . MOM!! Did you feel that!!
I was actually sound asleep and didn’t feel a thing..l checked my Quakefeed app immediately only to find out the epicenter for the quake was less than 1/2 a mile from my home in Hayward.. Next city over is Union City a 2.6 happened. She said she heard the house crack. So of course this morning l will be outside checking my foundation and outer walls. Needless to say l did not get much sleep last night and don’t plan on it tonight either. The quake was shallow and no aftershocks so there’s always the possibility of more quakes to come !!Show lessBrigette10

Oh my! Stay safe there in Hayward. Remember, drop - cover - hold-on.Earthquake Survivor (Alaska 1964)
This is absolutely the best earthquake app I've used and I believe I've tried most of them! I don't currently live in an active quake zone, but still have close family and friends in Alaska, California (think San Andreas fault), Washington State (think Cascadia fault), and New Zealand (within shaking distance of Wellington.). You could say I'm obsessed by earthquakes.
The support for this app is excellent. Questions answered and suggestions welcomed. Response time is excellent as well.
If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Be sure to buy the Ad Free version. It's well worth the 99 cent price!
A Happy User of QuakeFeed
Survivor of Good Friday Earthquake. Me, too!! What a day that was!! Was 18.5 yrs old and all my family was in WA and CALIF. They couldn’t reach me and I couldn’t reach them. When my mother finally did get through to me (on Easter Sunday) she was just before driving up the ALCAN hwy to search for me.
Mamas are like that! That was a LONG weekend! Drives my interest in earthquakes to this day!!!Show lessSuzanna Catherine

Thank you so much! What an amazing story about the Good Friday earthquake, thank you for sharing!QuakeFeed A solution ... for peace of mind.
After being assigned to a project in Chile, one of the countries with more earthquakes in the world and the biggest in history I find this great app. It’s good to have with you an alert for peace of mind when you are not familiar with the quakes. You can set alerts based on the intensity of the Richter scale. Tsunamis alerts when the quake is not on ground. Would be nice to activate notifications only if you’re in certain geolocation (because when I travel home I don’t want to be notified) But for me is 5 stars. Thank to the Dev team.Show lessLeinad!
Been using this for a long time
I love the new update! However, I don't like how small the little earthquake dots are. I liked how they used to look. Similar to the USGS site. There is an option to change them to location marks, but that's too freaking big and hogs up all the map. I love the graphics love the faultlines, love the instant, well near-instant textfollow up. in my own experience when there's an earthquake it will alert 🚨 you within about two or three minutesShow lesswxhr0
Newest Version Problematic
I’ve had QuakeFeed for many years. I’ve been as enthused as many reviewers until the very recent upgrade. Now I have to verify my premium membership every single time I go in, and often the map will just disappear. Can’t get it back. It seems to be when I’ve been examining the details of one quake and trying to return to the whole map. This is a new iPad but I’ve had to reboot to get the app to work again. I’m done. No doubt these are bugs they will eventually fix, but in the meantime there are now other ways to get the data without all the frustration and the big jump in price. It used to be a great app and would have been worth the price jump. But not this version.Show lessRockWanderer
