Great App!
If you want earthquake data- this is the App you want!

Add this please
This is a nice app but what it really needs is the ability to utilize the iPhone accelerometer to detect earthquakes and automatically share that data to the cloud and/or the USGS.
Only when enough similar readings are detected from a certain region within a narrow timeframe would the data be considered legitimate and then be pushed back out to the map for all users to view.
The app could also be active only at certain times of the day/night that the user defines. As well as only be active when connected to pre-defined wifi networks. Such as Home or work.
Another option would be to only take accelerometer reading when it is plugged into power (such as when on your night stand or connected to a computer USB).
The app could also use the iPhone GPS to disable sensor reading when moving. As well as only record seismic data when the app detects the iPhone is laying flat on its back.
Another option would be to disable the seismic sensor data output when a face is detected with the front facing camera.
Requiring the app to be running in the foreground would also further prevent false readings.
This could easily, quickly, and cheaply create a huge network of seismographs around the world.

Good
Works well besides the occasional downloading data crash and iOS8 landscape bug at startup.
Five stars because this app isn't rigged with ads - most other programmers could learn something here.

Simpatica
Anche se sarebbe utile aggiungere delle note ai vari posti su dov'è successa la scossa. E magari una piccola intro su cos'è il terremoto, il magnitudo...
Simple and straightforward.
I used it for 5 years and I am glad now it works for ios7!
Opinion
I've had this app for years and check it daily. However the newest upgrade version is definitely a downgrade. It's slower to load and sometimes doesn't load at all. They've tried to increase the amount of data you can retrieve but instead it makes the app less effective. Can we just have 2 options now? the Past Week OR The Past Month.
I only need the info on the Past Week as I check it daily

Excellente application mais...
Merci pour cette mise à jour (IOS 7) qui nous permet de retrouver avec bonheur cette super application '
Les informations sont quasiment en temps réels et précises. Cela permet de prendre conscience de..notre fragilité ! La terre évolue . Est le cas de ses habitants...? Mais c'est un autre débat !

Very good
Easy too use, Great filtering capabilities. Best when compared with other similar apps
Does not load data with iOS 7
The app no longer loads data with the new iOS 7 on the iPhone 4S. Before the update, liked the app.
Problems with iOS 7?
After I updated to iOS 7, this app stopped working. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried deleting and reinstalling it, but it doesn't seem to work. Please fix it!
Good mostly
As of 9/20 the Asian coast and Europe no longer were reporting on this app. If it is fixed then this is an awesome app.
iOS 7 update on the way
I have the USGS web page for Cal/Nev on my homepage....live in Southern California.... but this app is perfect for a quick listing. The best feature is being able to immediately bring up a list by magnitude. Then if you want more detail, go to the web.
I can't wait for the next big earthquake
Is that bad?
Excellente application
Je trouve cette application géniale en raison de sa gratuité. Un plus (quite a payer) serait: la possibilité d avoir des representations graphiques des evenements sur une localité: distribution de la fréquence des événements, représentations historiques, une mappemonde bcp plus détaillée, une localisation des événements d'une même zone...

Ottima app
Ottimo programma.
Great app!
Easily the best app for looking up earthquakes! I use it all the time.
And I've got to say...god bless the people in Japan.

Muy buena
Aplicación muy buena, excelente para ser gratuita. Great Job.
very useful app
Je l'utilise tous les jours (ou presque) pour mon travail. Simple, actualisations des seismes a volonté. Plus de donnés sans sortir de l'application serait super.
Great app!
I love using this app when I know an earthquake just happened in CA so I can look it up :-)
Science for Non-Scientists!
This app delivers amazing detail over the past 7 days, balanced perfectly in its user interface. The images explain it all, but no one would need an instruction manual for this. Excellent app!
I would only add the option for more historical data, but I'm not sure if the data are even available.
