Lately it's stuck and just crashes! Need an update! ### 2/5 — What happened? *2013-08-04* I was enjoying this app every day and now when I open it, the app crashes and won't even open! GRRRR/ I just deleted it. BUt It was a great little app. PLease fix it and bring it back. ### 3/5 — broken app *2013-06-22* I have enjoyed this app for a long time until the last year. it has not been able to open and has been stuck on the loading screen. ### 1/5 — Worst App EVER!! Do not download ever! *2013-05-11* This app. Never works and constantly freezes and stalls. Do not get this app or you will be sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Excellent App! *2012-08-06* I like this app. It's a little peace of mind, especially for my area, where we are not used to having seismic activity. It would be nice if there was a notification for when we have had activity within a variable number of miles. Like in my area, within about 1000 miles would be good notice, but maybe some people would prefer within 500 or 100 miles. Depending on where someone lives and the frequency of their area, they could pick what works for them. It's not early warning yet, but it does tell us when there are overall patterns of activity to watch. ### 1/5 — Crashes on sort by every time :( *2012-03-18* Please fix! ### 2/5 — Crashes On Setting Change *2011-12-13* Great until I wanted to change the settings. Crashes every time. So sad! ### 2/5 — Potential *2011-11-06* Shows promise, but not for me. Crashes each time I try to change settings. Deleted, rebooted, reinstalled, all with the same result. ### 1/5 — What about Hawaii? *2011-10-24* I live in Hawaii and am disappointed I cannot move the map on the main page to look at Hawaii. Could u fix that. I would think it would be important to be able to see the pacific ring of fire ( I think that's what it's called). That's why I rated as a one star. ### 5/5 — Good app *2011-08-06* Good app, does what it says it will do at a great price. Would like to see a push notification of all quakes over a magnitude set by the user. ## Frequently asked questions about Quakes Live ### What is Quakes Live?
