Not showing recent major earthquakes

I’ve used this app for years and have loved it however I’ve noticed recently that it is not showing a lot of newer earthquakes. I thought it was just a glitch and that it would fix itself will it hasn’t. We recently had an M 8.8 - at Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. This is not in the app. Also Many other large ones ranging up to 6.9 at the same location and only a few above six are shown. The 6.9 is not there. The M6.8 at Macquarie Island region is not there. A M6.5 Indonesia, not there. Many many many earthquakes are not there. I am looking at the USGS 7 day feed. I have tried loading different feeds, and they all say that the server is down and this has been going on for weeks.. I tried deleting and reloading the app. It did not work. There are no updates. I’ve tried it on three different devices. It’s the same. I’ve even tried to use the atlas which does not work by the way. It’s always blank. I don’t think this app has been updated for quite some time. Perhaps it’s time.

always interesting and spot on!

Earthquake

Love the app showing almost everything you can think of. I would love to see the Gleason map of earth used showing all four views of the quakes. It would be very interesting to see the results.

Incredible tool!

This is one of the most impressive apps I have had the pleasure to use! It is not only informative, it is educational. The user interface can be configured in so many ways, it’s impressively useful and fun to explore. I wish it had more data in Canada but maybe we don’t have any? The one feature I wish it had was: when you slide the age slider, I wish it had a mode that displayed the earthquakes sequentially rather than cumulatively. Excellent app, highest rating and respect!

Missing a lot of data

Missing hundreds of earthquakes daily. Not sure what the source data is, but it’s vastly incomplete...and the app is 4 years old?

What are the key features of Earthquake 3D?

Key features include eight different Earth display types (including population and tectonic plate maps), solid and wireframe 3D views, a sequencer for animating earthquake occurrences, control over sequencer speed and sound, over 4000 years of historic earthquake data, and live volcano activity display.

How much does Earthquake 3D cost?

Based on the provided information, this application is a paid app. There are no mentions of in-app purchases or advertisements, suggesting a one-time purchase for full access.

What kind of earthquake data is available?

The app includes over 4000 years of historic earthquake information from an included Atlas database, which is available offline. It also provides live earthquake data from sources like USGS, European EMSC, British Geological Survey, and New Zealand Geonet.

How can I interact with the earthquake data?

You can zoom and spin the 3D Earth using pinching and point-and-drag gestures. Individual earthquake indicator flags can be tapped to reveal details such as local maps, local news, and advanced seismic information. Earthquakes can also be filtered by magnitude and age using slider controls.
