Tsunami Reports for Pacific & West Coast Non-functional

Used the app for years and love it. No updates for a long time but it still worked for years. Now parts are breaking. Very disappointing.

Great Quake App

Excellent comprehensive and detailed info; great maps, ways of sorting info. Been using it for over 10 years!

So Sad

It seems this is now an orphaned app. No updates, no developer contact. The app still works but I'm not sure how reliable the information is. I will have to find another one. Please come back Developer! I have loved Quakewatch for many years!

Nice app and easy to use

Love the layout and functionality, but as one other reviewer pointed out, it could use the push notifications so that we can locate the most recent quakes on the app.

Quake watch

I’ve had this app since it was first released. I’m very pleased with its ease of use and functionality.

Very Helpful App

The information is nearly instantaneous. Living in earthquake rich territory makes this app indespensable. When I feel shaking I open the app and within minutes have magnitude, location, depth, and distance from where I am. No frills, just solid science and up to the minute seismic information.

Its A Good App

QuakeWatch is a good app. It works as advertised. My only real problem is there seems to be no way to contact the developer. When I go to the link to contact the developer all I get is a 404 error. Does that mean there's going to be no future updates?

Request for a widget

I’m increasingly checking this app out; a few times a week at least. I’ve referred the app to friends and the one feedback is if there’s a widget with notable stats? Could this be done?

Great app

If you want to keep track of earth quakes around they globe, this is the app to have!

Did not report a quake near me

Disappointed that it did not report an earthquake just 20 km near me which everyone felt.

No notification settings !!

I go to set up my notification settings for sound and such and it’s not in my notification settings at all !!! Very sad !!

QuackWatch = Excellent

Have had this app forever... I love how you can always see exactly how far from your hometown any quakes are occurring... The color readings make it possible at a quick glance to know how strong the quakes are.. The map of the world or just the US showing the quakes within a range that you have requested, ranging from 1.0 and on up... Excellent!

Closest/Nearest

Good app., but Closest and Nearest mean the same thing. So why are they BOTH tabs along with Latest and Biggest. Which are vastly different unlike closest and nearest which like I said are the same thing, exactly. We don’t need both just Latest and Biggest and Closest OR Nearest.

Inaccuracies.

In accurate information and names of towns and regions names omission in the world map.

Link to Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre does Not Work

I love this app but for the past few weeks the link to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre doesn’t work. I just get a white screen. Please fix.

could use tweeks

i’d like to be able to filter ‘depths’ of quakes like
you can richter scale. that would allow a better view of the more dangerous shallow quakes of 20km or less, and where and when they occur.

Excellent!

Very useful.

Great app

Works well

Works great every time!

I’ve had this app for ages and it works great every time. I just felt an earthquake, opened the app & it shows where, when & how strong. Thanks for making this app!

Super Great App

This is such a great App. So simple to use & customize. Latest info is posted rather quickly. Lots of great features. Best 0.99¢ I’ve ever spent.
