We only have 12 minutes if a Tsunami is coming from Santorini to Crete so would be already swamped by the time this app warns us; therefore cancelling. However two stars awarded for successfully alerting us to several quakes half an hour after they happened. ### 4/5 — Important living in Hawaii *2023-06-21* This app might give the people in Hawaii, other Pacific islands, and the pacific rim a heads up before the Pacific Tsunami center declares a Tsunami emergency. It’s not the most graphically beautiful app, but it gives you the all needed information and alerts within a few minutes of a seismic event. An update with better graphics is needed, but for less than the price of a cup of coffee for a year service… a bargain. ### 3/5 — I don’t do free trials *2022-01-16, version 1.2* I don’t do free trials Get this thing off my phone ### 3/5 — Looks free but you have to pay *2022-01-15* Sorry, I am not paying $3.99/year for this. ### 2/5 — Bait and switch *2021-05-07* Looks like it’s subscription based but you don’t know it till it’s too late ### 5/5 — Trustworthy!! *2020-09-03* The fee is super cheap, not over $3/year. Easy to use and trustworthy, especially for those who usually travel ### 5/5 — Intuitive, informative, and easy to use! *2020-09-01* This quake alert app is easy to set up and use. For only 2.99 a year, I’ve got access to knowing when and where a quake has stuck. With relatives in areas like japan, it really gives me peace of mind knowing that if something happens, I’ll be able to find out real quick. You’re able to choose between using miles or kilometers in the settings, and the map looks really clean and uncluttered! ### 5/5 — An excellent app *2020-09-01* This is a really helpful app, nowadays earthquakes are becoming more frequent so it’s nice to have a handy app to warn us ### 2/5 — Wanted to like it but *2020-06-22* Paid for the year subscription which is an amazing price but the app randomly stopped working and hasn’t since. It’s been two weeks. You can open the app and you see nothing but a black screen. ### 5/5 — Unique outstanding app that alerts!!! *2020-06-16* This is a unique design app that lets you get fast alerts that really helps not only yourself but most important your Family! Download it now give it a try don’t feel you will be disappointed! (Really) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disconnected *2026-06-27, version 1.2* I just got my app disconnected and when I try to reconnect they’re asking to subscribe again but my subscription still shows available until 01/27. And stop sending alert for months ago. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t log in *2025-03-28* Tried numerous times to create an account and log in. None of these attempts worked. The app closes, nothing more. Terrible app ### 1/5 — Inactive but paid *2023-06-23* Paid and charged for this app less than a month ago for a full year. Opened the app today and says inactive. Cannot use the contact support link in app and cannot find them online to ask. ### 1/5 — Problems with subscription *2022-08-31* I just renewed my subscription. The app is showing that I have not renewed. I’ve tried to contact support through the app but that option is not working. App has bugs that need to be addressed. ### 1/5 — Subscription? *2021-11-04, version 1.2* Paying money to access public safety info seems very tacky. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2021-09-26, version 1.2* Can’t get any service without subscribing but when you DO subscribe the app gets permanently stuck on ‘waiting for iTunes’ and doesn’t let you restore your purchase or use the app. Useless. ### 1/5 — *actually a 0 star rating* SCAM! *2021-07-29* *actually a 0 star rating* This app is a complete scam! It does not work at all. It charged me the $3 to use and still doesn’t work at all. Absolute garbage! Do not download or buy!! ### 1/5 — Not working for me *2021-03-04, version 1.1* I live on the coast in Vanuatu. An app like this, when functioning, can be a life saver. Unfortunately, I get no warnings. A size 8 earthquake has just struck New Zealand and we are on Tsunami alert, but I have had no notification from my app. I have emailed support twice now and still waiting, on high ground, for answers. ### 2/5 — Good intentions? *2026-06-29* Good intentions but lacks consistency in connectivity. Always ensure you’re “ Protected” in the app. I’ve been disconnected several times without warning. Now, as of this review, the app indicates that I’m “Protected “ yet I get no notifications or indication of recent quakes based on my app settings. 4 year customer, I’ll be canceling. Support was initially good and recently it’s been crickets. ### 2/5 — Was not notified *2025-07-16* Ive had this app for over a year now and pay the subscription. I was in an actual earthquake and received no notification or alert from this service. I reached out to support with no explanation. I wouldn’t count on this app to do anything for you other than show where quakes are on the map. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reliable Alerts for Peace of Mind Near One of the World’s Most Dangerous Dams *2024-09-06* Living near the Mullaperiyar Dam in Kerala, one of the most dangerous dams in the world, has made reliable alerts crucial for me. Situated in a seismic zone, the potential risks are significant. I’ve subscribed to both the iOS app and voice/SMS alerts for extra precaution. The Quake alert app has proven effective, delivering timely notifications and proving reassurance. Being two hours away from the dam, I find the app’s performance dependable, making it a valuable tool for anyone in similar high-risk areas. ### 5/5 — Essential App for Earthquake and Tsunami Alerts *2024-09-05* Quake Alert is a fantastic app for staying on top of earthquake and tsunamis. The interface is straightforward and free of ads, making it easy to use. We can set up personalized alerts and get detailed info about each quake, which is super helpful. The annual fee for push notifications is worth it for the piece of mind it offers. If you live in an area prone to seismic activity, this app is definitely worth checking out. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-07-15* Nice ### 5/5 — It works *2023-05-01* You get a buzz and a message on your phone when an earthquake occurs within the range you defined. The alerts come from seismic stations around the world, but it’s not instant, there may be a time lag of several minutes. So if a huge quake happens near you, you probably know about it already by the time the alarm sounds. I live on a tsunami prone coast, and find this app useful. The shake may have arrived already, but the app can tell you quickly if the epicenter is inland or offshore. If it’s offshore, it gives you a couple of minutes to get prepared. ### 5/5 — Earthquake tsunami *2021-11-16* Earthquake $ tsunami app is super amazing and wonderful I love this app guys download now ### 5/5 — Super helpful app *2021-11-08* Guys have you heard about earthquake and tsunami alerts, download now very necessary ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-09-04* Such a great app. I love ❤ it.
