What's New in NewQuake

2.1

October 28, 2026

See nearby earthquakes together in 3D. Depth views now include other earthquakes from the loaded catalogue within the scene, giving each quake more context underground. Map tours can now stop underground. Turn on 3D underground stops in Settings > Maps to include a depth view at eligible earthquake stops. This option is off by default. Live event banners while the app is open are now on by default when no preference has been saved. They follow your Show settings. You can change this in Settings, and an existing off choice is kept. This update also fixes pauses when preparing 3D previews and replays, improves opening event pages on iOS 27, and handles revised earthquake reports more reliably.

I was missing out by a lot

Installing the app and using it has gave a different purpose and insight to my life’s fulfilment index.

Amazing App! A couple suggestions…

Fantastic app overall, just wished it was better at updating after initial readings. Sometimes it doesn’t capture the final revisions made by USGS which are really important for accuracy.

Also, I’d really like to only get earthquake specific notifications for over M6.0 but it keeps sending me the background update notifications. Is there any way I can get it to stop sending those to me? I still want to see those earthquakes in the list but I really don’t want the push notifications for them.

The last thing is; when calculating explosive equivalent in Kilo/Megatons, it appears you’re still using the Richter scale for this calculation. Moment magnitude is the current standard for earthquake energy calculations, if you could please update it to using that instead the measurements would be way more accurate, especially for the larger magnitude earthquakes (Ex. that china earthquake by the tibet plateau had an explosive magnitude equivalent of ~5 MT instead of 480 kt as is stated in the application). Thank you for your time!
