### 4/5 — Notifications

*2016-08-30, version 4.3.0*

I downloaded this app some years ago (shortly after the US East Coast quake) and was notified pretty regularly about tremors world wide. However quite some time ago, (maybe a year or so) the app went silent. That is until today (Aug 30, 2016)!!! I am hoping these notices continue as it is interesting to see how active our planet is.

### 4/5 — Some organization needed in reports

*2015-05-31, version 4.1.6*

Needs a method of being able to summarize earthquakes for a specific locality, arranged by descending time (most recent first), slowing location, magnitude, and depth

### 5/5 — Good app

*2014-12-25, version 4.1.6*

With all of the fears of Fracking causing earthquakes, this app is very good for keeping you updated for up to date information on specific areas.  Even Irving TX!

### 5/5 — Great app to have

*2014-09-18, version 4.1.4*

I had no idea the Earth shook as much as it does. Every day, all day. I have mine set to list quakes higher than 5.0, and it's almost scary that there's a long list of those. I like the tsunami reports, the mapping, and seeing tweets from the affected areas. Real time is a plus. Faster than CNN.

### 5/5 — Great source of info for those that live in earthquake prone areas

*2014-04-18, version 4.1.2*

Great app at what it does: notify what happened, where it happened, with what intensity and according to what agency.

### 5/5 — Fantastic and easy to set

*2014-04-16, version 4.1.2*

This app is very accurate, easy to use and quick to notify you. Simply the best one I've used yet!

### 4/5 — Solid app

*2013-11-18, version 4.0.6*

Overall, this is one of the better geology apps. The instant user data input (I.e. twitter, Facebook, etc.) gives you a very quick "on the ground" perspective of an event. Make sure to set your preferences, as there is a ton of data that pours in on a constant basis. It can be a little overwhelming if you don't set your location, magnitude settings, etc. however it's very easy to navigate through. All in all, great app for keeping up on the latest seismic activity worldwide and in your own community. Definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Outstanding App

*2013-07-29, version 4.0.6*

This is the one earthquake app that I found to fully meet my needs. It is intuitive and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Outstanding App !   Check it daily

*2013-07-26, version 4.0.6*

Works quickly, is accurate. Have others and am always looking but none is better.   Easy to use, provides all desires info quickly with no extraneous clutter.  Notifications are just what is needed.  One of the most used best apps I have.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2013-07-26, version 4.0.6*

Te only gripe I have is that the map doesn't scroll completely around, it has an "edge" and from there you have to back up to the other edge.

### 5/5 — Best earthquake app

*2013-07-23, version 4.0.6*

I've checked most of them out. You won't find one as good as this one. One improvement: add an option for for retaining earthquakes longer than one day and shorter than a week for those of us who can't check it every day.

### 5/5 — Best app for earthquakes etc

*2013-07-21, version 4.0.6*

Thank you to the people who made this app

### 5/5 — I love it

*2013-07-20, version 4.0.6*

I love this program and I check it often. I like getting the alerts too. Nice job!

### 4/5 — Interesting information that doesn't come with "talking heads" to explain it

*2013-07-19, version 4.0.6*

Living on the "ring of fire"' (Oregon), as does a close friend in Japan, the timely information is important to me. I also like to monitor the world-wide event patterns--location and frequency.

### 5/5 — Excellent ap

*2013-07-01, version 4.0.6*

Really helps take the guesswork out of earthquakes. Kind of freaky seeing how many there are every day! We live on the California coast.  For us, tsunami warnings are critical.

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2020-01-25, version 4.3.0*

I don’t receive the notifications of any earthquakes on my location

### 1/5 — Horrible !!!

*2015-11-24, version 4.1.7*

It worked great for the first week. Then I stopped receiving notifications. Figured out that quiet time was enabled.  So disabled it. But the app turns it back on.  We have gotten 10 earthquakes in the last 2 days and it has not notified me about any of them !!!!  Please fix PLEASE !

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2015-01-12, version 4.1.6*

Just bought it a few minutes ago. I am unable to find local earthquake information that ocurred an hour ago 4 miles from my current location. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Take long to update

*2012-04-13, version 3.1.2*

It takes several minutes for update, I thought it was real time, when I feel the shake in Mexico, the info appears almost 10-15 minutes later

### 1/5 — I really with there were "no earthquakes available" (>_<)

*2011-07-07, version 3.0*

Used to work great - now I don't get any data. I still get notifications "there was a 5.6 in X" but then when I click into the app, the Map view AND List view are completely empty. Please FIX.... or let me know what to to do to FIX. As of now, useless. 

I'll change my review is it gets sorted: the data comes back! :)

### 1/5 — Crashes!!

*2010-11-09, version 0*

It was a good app until the latest update. Now it will not even open. Do these developers try their apps on an iPad before they submit it? Emailed help 3 days ago. Still waiting for an answer!

### 2/5 — Notifications aren't coming

*2016-04-17, version 4.1.7*

Would love it if I was actually notified when a quake strikes.  Have tried changing the settings around and nothing.  I want my money back.

### 2/5 — This app is great but...

*2015-07-15, version 4.1.7*

Glad to see updates still being for this app app. So first off this app is awesome. but it needs some improvements. For starters iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus support would be great. As well as future support for IOS 9 and Metal when they are released.

### 2/5 — Does not work as advertised but other than that it is a fair app.

*2011-11-04, version 3.1.2*

Does not work as advertised but other than that it is a fair app. 
The sliding mileage option that is available for informing you where an earthquake occurred within a configurable distance from a center point does not work. The notification level based on setting magnitude does work but my interest is only the Alaska area, not other places on the planet such as Chili. 
The company was very fast to respond to my inquiry on how to make this work. The response was that it is in plan for a future release. As it is, it is a fine app, just not what was advertised.

### 2/5 — The free one is better

*2011-04-19, version 3.0*

The FREE version of this app is WAY better-the payed version of the app freezes up on me-and I've got iPhone 4-don't know WHAT the deal is-and I can't get a world wide display of the earthquakes-it just freezes up-so I the payed app 2 thumbs down-the free app version is the only one I use-

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2020-01-08, version 4.3.0*

Complete and accurate information, when and where needed! Many years now with this app... so, thank you!

### 5/5 — Back to 5 stars

*2018-01-06, version 4.3.0*

The best earthquake app on the App Store and my favorite.

Back to 5 stars after a technical issue that was quickly resolved.

### 5/5 — Great for Quakes!

*2017-09-08, version 4.3.0*

Super fast accurate reporting of earth shakes 24-7!

### 5/5 — Earthquake App

*2017-07-17, version 4.3.0*

Accurate, fast, efficient 24/7!

### 5/5 — Best App

*2017-04-11, version 4.3.0*

Very useful app. Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-12-10, version 4.3.0*

I've had this app for several years; it's one of my favorites. Living in California (on the San Andreas fault) I'm always aware of our earthquake potential so this app keeps me up to date. 

There have been dozens of earthquakes in the Solomon Islands the last 2 days, most 4.5 and over, up to 7.5. I don't know why this is not reported on the news. It seems significant to me.

### 5/5 — Around the world

*2016-11-27, version 4.3.0*

I have this set to 5 or nice earthquakes around the world, and it's astonishing how many there have been lately in the ring of the Pacific. Makes me get ready for the big one.

### 5/5 — Great APP!

*2016-03-12, version 4.1.7*

I have used this APP for several years and find very informative. I have never had a problem with  It and always receive alerts!

### 5/5 — It's great..!!!

*2015-04-13, version 4.1.6*

You won't regret buying this app it' accurate ..!!  Easy to read ..! It worth it..!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-01-31, version 4.1.6*

I like being able to see when earthquakes occur and often use the map view, which offers a bigger picture overall of seismic activity around the globe. When we have a quake, it is easy to check the preliminary magnitude. Very nice app!
