User reviews

Bafflingly bad UI/UX. Excellent information provided.

The user interface and experience in this app is astonishingly bad. Lists are filtered using pop-out menus with radio buttons. Notification settings are opaque and confusing. UI elements overlap others. It’s a mess. It clearly was developed by people who don’t have a budget for real iOS developers. But I’m keeping the app for three reasons.
1.) I don’t have to sacrifice my privacy to American techbro kleptocrats and instead can support a group of scientists who prioritize information over profit.
2.) The app has no unnecessary features. There’s no gated functionality behind a paywall.
3.) The earthquake info and alerts seem to be timely and relevant/helpful.

Support science over big tech.

Unusable after the new UI update

Absolutely horrible new UI, makes it completely unusable. Can’t get relevant data or updated lists of earthquakes near me. Cant click on the map to view the earthquake. Can’t even keep track of the earthquake that just happened where I am. Used to be an amazing app but it was fully ruined with the update.

Ruined a good thing

Needed this app for relevant info. Broke a great app with whatever changes made. Map doesn’t stretch out for closer look. Graphics and texts are impossible to make out. Sorry. Must delete

used to be great

i’m not receiving any notifications for any earthquakes, whether it’s near me or on the other side of the globe. this issue appears on other people using other devices as well.
