Excellent information provided. *2025-10-02, version 3.1.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Timely *2025-08-05, version 3.1.0* Good app ### 3/5 — was good *2025-06-25, version 3.1.0* ow the interface is terrible. why change something that it's okay? ### 4/5 — Good *2025-05-28, version 2.5.4* Could do with a better user interface, but functional and simple to use ### 5/5 — Mary López *2025-03-29, version 2.5.4* Es muy eficiente y preciso. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2025-03-28* Отличное приложение всегда и везде по всему миру вкурсе событий **Developer response:** Спасибо за вашу признательность и берегите себя. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2025-03-20, version 2.5.4* I love this app. It notifies me seconds just before or right at an earthquake in my area “that I feel.” You have the capability with this app to set your preferences of areas you wish to monitor. It gives you access to report how the earthquake affected you, your home and the area you live. Which is very important for calculating possible intensity. I strongly suggest you get this app and be part of calculating the intensity of earthquakes. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-03-17, version 2.5.4* 👍 ### 5/5 — Most helpful *2025-03-10, version 2.5.4* Definitely the app to have ### 2/5 — Moderate swaying *2025-03-09, version 2.5.4* Soft bumping for 10 seconds, then swaying for a few more. Dizzying. 3 rd floor, at my desk, PCH and Entrada Dr. ### 5/5 — The best quake app! *2025-02-18, version 2.5.4* Tried several, but this is really the best one. ### 4/5 — Quake App *2025-02-14, version 2.5.4* GoodApp. useful Information. Informative. The News won’t Inform this Information. Thank You For Keeping Us Informed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 6.3 NZ quake missed *2026-08-08, version 3.2.1* 6.3 quake in NZ 5th Aug. nothing reported or notified in the app. Useless. Shame as it looks like it has good potential, but it’s neglecting NZ entirely. ### 1/5 — Unusable after the new UI update *2025-09-22, version 3.1.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Ruined a good thing *2025-08-25, version 3.1.0* 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 ### 1/5 — used to be great *2025-08-10, version 3.1.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Ignoring Sleep Moxe *2025-07-23, version 3.1.0* Recent update breaks through sleep mode and shouts the earthquake information even when not allowed from the mode itself such as sleep mode. It does this by using a dodgy workaround to notifications as this action is denied in iOS wide settings. It is not a spoken alert as recognised by iOS which can be controlled by modes. This is the app waking itself and playing a sound that appears to be a notification but it’s not really. It’s a really insidious abuse of user trust and almost an instant delete in my view. Either get permission to use critical alerts from Apple or rely on users to turn this on manually. Terrible implementation. ### 1/5 — Last update was terrible *2025-07-17, version 3.1.0* Last update must have been done by children. It was fine as it was, why do you feel the need to change something that works fine. Put it back like it was and you get a 5 star. As it is now, 1 star. Or, time to delete and find another app. ### 1/5 — Verschlimmbessert *2025-07-09* Schade, hat man mal ne gute App, kommt irgendwann der Tag, an dem Leute meinen, etwas sehr gutes mit 5 Sternen mit ach und Krach zu 1 Stern zu degradieren. Ich brauche keine Anzeigen meiner gespeicherten Beben, wenn es ein Krampf ist aktuelle zu suchen. Vorher war alles auf einen Blick da, jetzt sieht man das, was man nicht gespeichert hat?! Welch Logik …. **Developer response:** Hallo, Ich verstehe Ihr Problem nicht ganz, aber Sie können Ihre App so konfigurieren, dass sie die gewünschte Liste öffnet. Sehen Sie sich hier das Erklärungsvideo der App an: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZjhzfwX844 Bei weiteren Problemen können Sie die Seite „Fehler melden“ in der App nutzen. Bleiben Sie gesund. ### 1/5 — Worse change ever *2025-06-24, version 3.1.0* Used this app I. The past and it was Easy and clear to use. Now it's too difficult to even read it. Will look for alternatives. ### 1/5 — Scotland not showing *2023-04-22, version 2.5.4* Experience occasional earthquakes in Scotland but more so in Fort William, downloaded the app tonight after experiencing a 4.0 mag earthquake over an hour ago as I thought it would show thé latest and would be good in coming year but it doesn’t show anything from Scotland. ### 1/5 — Diese gotische bastarden *2023-02-12* Es gibt alle Sprache aber armenisch und georgischer sind nicht dabei! Der app Entwickler ist rasist oder dumm! Der gibt so viele Sprachen ein aber nicht Caucasischen Volker Sprache die Menschheit Anfang verbieten! Meine Meinung ist wo er so viele Schrift Sprache eingegeben hat und keine georgischen und armenische der ist einfach rassistich **Developer response:** Keep cool and have a second look both ARMENIAN AND GEORGIAN are included! They are included thanks to volunteers who make the translation for us. So if there are indeed other languages that you would like to see included just contact us at contact@emsc-csem.org and we will be happy to send you the file to be translated. If you still fail to find Armenian or Georgian, do not hesitate if you need help. We are a not for profit NGO offering free and ads-free services so please avoid insulting without any reasons, it never helps! Thank you and stay safe ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — B *2025-08-02, version 3.1.0* Amazing app ### 5/5 — Working well now *2025-07-22, version 3.1.0* Useful app. Previous issue with notifications was fixed and now back to being informative and customizable. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2025-05-16, version 2.5.4* Very helpful App - Especially when one lives in an Earthquake Zone. Keep on improving it. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fast reacting, clear and informative site! *2025-04-16, version 2.5.4* Great site! My “go to” for earthquake news and data! ### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение *2025-04-13* Нравится! Удобно. **Developer response:** Spassiba! ### 5/5 — Real time and accurate. *2025-04-12* Trustable and dependable application. **Developer response:** Thank you for your appreciation and stay safe ### 5/5 — Very *2025-04-12, version 2.5.4* Good ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2025-04-08, version 2.5.4* This app is great. Always up to the minute. Thanks 👍🏻😎 ### 5/5 — Indispensable! *2025-04-06, version 2.5.4* I spend 6 months in Chile. Earthquakes are common. This application has taught me when to worry about a quake and when is normal. The damage and danger of the earthquake depends on the depth. If you are interested in keeping track of earthquakes around the world this is a great application. ### 5/5 — Henry toe aung *2025-04-02, version 2.5.4* Ok --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
