### 2/5 — Ok

*2014-07-28, version 2.0.2*

Umm it was ok.. But didn't list many quakes😬

### 4/5 — Good app

*2012-01-01, version 1.0.3*

Nice touch on the finer details like distance from current location. App works well.

### 1/5 — Freezes everytime

*2011-12-25, version 1.0.3*

Would be great if it would load and not freeze. I can't get it to load anything past July.

### 2/5 — Lots of potential

*2011-12-24, version 1.0.3*

Looks great on the surface, however no new data since July 2011 and crashes regularly on iOS5. Which is a shame as this could be very useful. Hope it gets an update!

### 1/5 — Bad app!

*2011-12-19*

The app sometimes crashes and when you want to go quake map or the other options it doesn't work.

### 2/5 — Keeps Freezing!!

*2011-12-05, version 1.0.3*

Seems To Be Quite Good However The App Keeps Freezing Up Everytime I Go on It and Can't Even Use It :(

### 4/5 — Thank you

*2011-10-22, version 1.0.3*

Sometimes takes a moment or three to update but gives a lot of info. Mapping is great and filtering on size of shakes.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-12-26, version 2.0.1*

Living in Christchurch for 6 months pro app to keep track of all them nasty quakes (up the Irish)

### 5/5 — Fixed for iOS6 and new functionality

*2012-10-14, version 2.0*

The latest update has fixed the iOS5 data feed, and additional functionality is great. I don't live in Christchurch, but call it home and want to keep an eye on goings-on.

### 5/5 — Works really well

*2012-01-25, version 1.0.4*

I have had none of the freeze problems. Terrific app clearly showing the terrible time cantabrians  are having

### 5/5 — Works great in long run!

*2012-01-13*

Ok, this app annoyed me at first. The program kept freezing so I assumed that it was crashing. It wasn't, when you first start it, it tries to download the earthquake's that have happened since it's memory. I suggest to leave it on overnight to gain the information and then play around with it. It works really well and I am very happy with it.

### 5/5 — Freezes the latest iPhone 4s

*2012-01-09, version 1.0.3*

Something is not right. It keeps freezing, basically unusable.

Works very well. Only works slow when poor signal

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2011-12-26, version 1.0.3*

Can be slow to update (not crashed - wait longer), but worth it. Up to date and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great stuff

*2011-09-13, version 1.0.3*
