Useless garbage
No maps…should use a Google maps overlay or something so we know where all these dots are.
But being the USGS it’s probably top secret!

Excellent!
For those interested, this is a great iPad app with a beautifully designed user interface. The base is an earth globe, rotatable in any direction. Tap on an earthquake's dot for detailed infomation. Appears to use USGS data.

Notifications?
I would give 5 stars but I can’t find how to turn on notifications for my immediate area?
Want past history?
Being able to look back 30 days tells the story, but many active fault aren’t moving that much: would more history be available?
Just a thought.
Got the Mmo reference. Me, too.

The initial motivation for the app was to be a bit different from other earthquake apps, thus the 30 day sliding window. But if one likes the app, I can appreciate how one would want to access more historical data and I am considering that. I appreciate your suggestion.
Just download it. You won’t be disappointed!
Real passion has gone into this super cool app. Developer obviously understands tectonics.
Well it was updating on the Internet and then it just quit
It worked for about a week and then it stopped updating what’s up with that

Thanks for the feedback. We just released an update that addresses this issue. Please give Epicenter another shot (rolls out over the next 7 days).
Did not update data
Looks good but would not update any information, saying I was not connected to the internet (which was not the case) or that the server as unavailable.

Great interactive map
I live in CA, and my family is scattered throughout the state. I original got this so I could track the activity of their area, but the map is so much fun to use that I've started monitoring other areas of the world too. The ring of fire is particularly interesting to keep an eye on.
It's good to stay educated in the world around you. I've learned that Californa is not at all the worst place to live in regards to earthquakes! Stay safe out there.
My favorite part about the map is the global 3d sphere. It's really easy to jump around to different locations and review the quakes. I love the map is not politically divided - it's all topho (at least that's how I keep my settings). As you zoom in, the state/country dividers pop up, but when you zoom out, they fade away which I love. Or you can select plate boundaries to be toggled on, which is pretty sweet too look at. Great app. Definitely learning more about the world.

Could be better
I really like the app but..,
My number one complaint: print is so small I can’t even read it with a magnifying glass! It’s basically guessing the general area when I look at map. Enlarge by at least 6!
Secondly: I’d love to see ocean’s topography!!

Hello, thanks for the feedback, we are working on a cost effective solution for both items you mention.
Great App!
I’m a geologist and I will use this for work. Love that it gives me all the USGS information on my phone and it works with the Apple Watch as well! Saves me from having to open a browser and find the right url ... etc!
