Seattle Loves This App
It’s wonderful to know I’m not crazy when I think I feel a quake. Now, I’m sure.
It’s amazing to have accurate, updated lists & maps of global activity in my hand.
It’s not just for California. It’s for everyone.

DON’T DOWNLOAD
Don’t bother downloading this app. Just this morning it went off for a stupid “Earthquake Drill Test”. Don’t bother me unless it’s an actual earthquake. I also didn’t see any way to silence the FALSE ALARMS. So I just deleted the entire app.
Too much B.S.
Bothersome. I didn't sign up for notifications or safety training nags. I was happily using the app to see events in the news and then I start getting notifications about some event they were putting on. When i tried to opt out of notifications, there was a note that i couldn't opt out notifications for that earthquke readiness "event". It says I'd have to opt out of all notifications "close to the date of their event". So I opted out of everything early and they kept notifying me anyway. No respect for my use of my device. Obviously some non profit making money to bother people and not paying taxes. I deleted the damned app. They won't be sending me notifications NOW and they won't get click money.

CHECK your settings
Reading through some of the reviews here I see many users complaining about *things they can easily fix* by spending 5 or 10 minutes understanding the app and its *settings* 🙄
Great concept with serious flaw
Ceases to push alerts if you don’t periodically open the app. Defeats the purpose. This should be a high priority fix. Also would help to see the major faults overlain in CA, OR, and WA. Being a line layer I wouldn’t think it would slow down the app much, if at all. The 3 stars are given as the concept and user experience is great, but the fact that its primary purpose - alerts - glitches out if you don’t open the app for a couple weeks is seriously problematic as the user can be lulled into a false reality.

Helped me
This app works. It warned me multiple times when an earthquake was about to happen in California.
No alerta
Hoy tembló en san Leandro 3.8 y yo tengo configurada el app para alertas desde temblores de 2.5 grados en adelante y la app no emitió ninguna alerta.
No Alert: 8/13/2026
I was 3 miles from recent earthquake this morning but MyShake never sent an alert.
No reporta en tiempo real los sismos
No reporto ninguno de los terremotos que se vivieron en Colombia, hasta media hora después
Does not alert anymore
This all used to be my go to, but now it doesn’t even alert me literally until I open the app. I’m right on a fault line and really rely on something to notify me moments before for the safety of my family. I don’t know what’s changed, but I have an IPhone 16 with the most updated software and I’ve noticed it’s stopped being useful once I upgraded my phone. I’ve had to download other apps in replacement of MyShake.

No da alertas
No aviso Es más no detecta la actividad ni en la lista.
Works too well
Too many false positives. Alerts over magnitude 5.5 quakes 100 miles away that I don’t even feel. Practically gives me a heart attack several times a year over moderate quakes so far away I can’t feel them. I guess false positives are better than real dangerous quakes that are missed. That said, I wish they could perfect the model so it only alerts if a quake is actually dangerous in the area my device is at. I do not need warnings for moderate sized quakes so far away that they are not felt here.

Spot On
I just exp the 2nd time this app notified me about an earthquake. Last time I got a Notification just seconds before the earthquake! This time, I received one about a minute after. I have both MyShake and QuakeFeed. MyShake is dependable, and QuakeFeed is for information. I’m very satisfied with MyShake app!

Buggy & untrustworthy
App frequently crashes at startup. Also disturbingly sends urgent “drop & cover” alerts for events far away, like M6 Mendocino temblor to Santa Clara County residents. Untrustworthy
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
I made the mistake of downloading this app & it got stuck open on my Home Screen forcing me to do a hard shutdown of my phone just so I could delete it. I am now concerned that it will still be active in the background after reading the horror stories in other reviews.
Stopped working this year
Not sure why, for years this app has worked perfectly but since iOS 26 I never get earthquake notifications anymore? I gave it the appropriate permission and nada.
Waste of space
Literally, had an earthquake less than a 2 miles away & this app recorded nothing. Not a surprise. Just time to delete this app.
App does not track the phone. Sometimes way off.
I went on a Caribbean cruise and in the middle of the night we were awakened in the middle of the night by an alert for a moderate quake in California that wasn’t even felt at our home, we checked. Another middle of the night alert at home was completely false, terrifying me for no reason.
Please add device tracking for better accuracy.

I like this app, but I have a VERY important suggestion PLEASE READ
I really like the fact that this app can notify users before an earthquake, which is very useful for earthquake prone areas like California. Although, I would like you to at least consider the following suggestion. I think you should have 2 alert variants. 1 is for the magnitude 4.5 to 6.5 and let out an alert that is the same volume as the current one, but it sounds a little less urgent. The other would be for magnitude 6.6+ and would be the same volume but sound very alarming to signal to users to watch out.

The app is great!
This app is very good, it alerted me about 12 seconds before shaking over here in El Centro in February of 2025.
Overall, great app for alerts but there is a suggestion I want to make, there should be an option that lets you adjust the option at what minimum magnitude you get alerts from. And another optimization, is that you should be able to change the alert sound to a custom sound.
