QuakeZones Shows Current AND Historical Earthquake Events Worldwide. We set out to develop the absolute best historical earthquake app available for the iPhone. We looked at all of the available earthquake apps and quickly discovered that none of them presented historical earthquake information. Most showed only a few days of data with limited mapping or filtering options. If you want to look at historical earthquake events and subsequent aftershocks on an iPhone, QuakeZones is absolutely your best answer. QuakeZones uses Maps to pinpoint over a million earthquakes worldwide. More than 33 years of historical earthquake information is now available in the palm of your hand. Other earthquake apps show only 7 days of data. Why not see the whole picture? See results in Map or List views. Filter results alphabetically, or by magnitude, proximity, or date and time. Save areas of interest for future reference. Search broadly by Region or specifically by City with more than 300,000 cities available. QuakeZones Standard Features * Historical worldwide earthquake data from multiple sources dating back to 1973. * Earthquake updates are provided automatically as new events occur. QuakeZones Special Features * Tap a pushpin to see earthquake details including location, date and time. * Also see magnitude, depth, distance from your location, and more. * Manual Refresh enables you to pan, zoom, and refresh the map on demand. * Search for other locations by Region or City name with automatic lookups. * Add and Save any map location to your personal list of MyZones. * Instantly retrieve a saved location from MyZones. * Display earthquake information for a city, state, country, or worldwide. * Browse historical earthquake facts in “Did You Know?” * Use Settings to create defaults for data presentation by year, magnitude, and number of earthquakes displayed. QuakeZones Delivers the Most Earthquake Data * See more than 33 years of earthquake data. ## Key features - Historical earthquake data since 1973 - Current earthquake updates - Map and List views - Filter by magnitude, date, proximity - Save areas of interest - Search by region or city - Detailed earthquake information ## Recent user reviews (10 of 54) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quakezones/id352129202/reviews.md ### 5/5 — 👍 *2019-10-17, version 2.15* The best option to look for earthquakes on the phone ### 1/5 — No Australian data *2018-01-24, version 2.15* There has been several quakes confirmed to have occurred in the last few days in Coffs Harbour , New South Wales Australia but they have not been seen on your app ! Why ? ### 1/5 — No correct information *2016-05-09, version 1.9* Missing Fukushima and others ### 3/5 — Moon man *2015-06-07, version 1.9* It doesn't want to let me know, when an earthquake happens.(I set the badges alerts section n it still won't let me know WHEN the earth quake happens!! I'd buy the Pro version,if I can get the ALERTS,when that happen,just to support your app.) Now u won't even post my rating. I think I'll delete the app. Next,if I don't see my rating!!! ### 1/5 — Needs better ui and a refresh button *2012-01-01, version 1.7* Takes forever to pull in recent quake data. ### 4/5 — Cool *2011-12-05, version 1.7* The app is pretty cool but it crashes on iOS 5 please fix. ### 1/5 — Crap *2011-11-20, version 1.7* Ur app cant connect to Facebook like it clams it can. Disappointed and dang I paid for the pro version too. Crap ### 4/5 — Works fine *2011-09-08, version 1.7* I have had no problems but don't use the notifications. I like the historical earthquakes as the other EQ app I use limits by number and hence quickly loses original event when there are swarms or many aftershocks. ### 5/5 — Still My favorite earthquake app *2011-09-05, version 1.7* Wonder why it did not pick up the swarm in Canary Islands? ### 1/5 — Crashes DOES NOT WORK *2011-08-23, version 1.7* app loads but does not show any data. There is an XML parser error so nothing can be displayed. ## Frequently asked questions about QuakeZones ### What does QuakeZones do?
