### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-03-21*

I’ve been using for 6 years 
Awesome app very useful

### 4/5 — Top Drawer App!

*2024-06-27*

Living all my life on the New Madrid fault in swamp east Missouri, and living constantly with the looming anticipation of “the big one” striking at any time, it’s imperative as a pacifier for my sanity …to stay informed of the earthquakes felt/reported in my location. I have had this Quake app for several years now and the seismic activity and precise epicenter are quickly posted and have been very reliable.
  Love it!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t update.

*2023-02-08*

Been waiting for updates for 2 days. Nada

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2018-11-23*

Works great

### 4/5 — Simple and straightforward

*2017-02-10*

Simple to use. I never realized how much the earth is shaking. It's actually terrifying.

Would like for the app to provide a little more flexibility with regards to filtering my search. For example, I would only want to see earthquakes that measure above x.x. It would also be nice to go ahead and perform another search in the map view as I begin to move outside of my boundaries. 

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great!

### 5/5 — Thx app

Im Korean.  Worried about the recent earthquake in Korea. It's good to be able to see the magnitude of the earthquake by looking at this app. I want to know a little more detailed area.
