Keep going back to all over the world magnitud 2. I will like to see my region only and 3+. Thank you for your attention on this matter. Timing is excellent. If you add this features will get 5 star. ### 2/5 — Lots Of Bugs... *2019-10-22, version 4.0* ...the main one annoying me is that it will not keep the filter parameters I set. I only want to know/read about magnitude 4 or higher, it keeps resetting to magnitude 2 (of which there are hundreds each day). ### 2/5 — inappropriate *2019-10-16, version 4.0* asks for a lot of inappropriate information to register app ### 3/5 — Why you lost me. *2019-08-02* I loved this app. Now I’m obliged to give my phone number. Just deleted the app. ### 3/5 — There’s a lot of bugs, need update *2019-07-14, version 3.2.1* On the layers checklist, faults/ca faults, liquefaction (sometimes works if changing terrain but not always). Other than that, it’s a great app to see latest earthquake map and hopefully in the near future you’ll be able to give out some sort of warning if it’s a big one and hopefully a good distance away so there’s some time to get ready ### 2/5 — Add this feature please *2014-12-19, version 1.1.2* This is a nice app but what it really needs is the ability to utilize the iPhone accelerometer to detect earthquakes and automatically share that data to the cloud and/or the USGS. Only when enough similar readings are detected from a certain region within a narrow timeframe would the data be considered legitimate and then be pushed back out to the map for all users to view. The app could also be active only at certain times of the day/night that the user defines. As well as only be active when connected to pre-defined wifi networks. Such as Home or work. Another option would be to only take accelerometer reading when it is plugged into power (such as when on your night stand or connected to a computer USB). The app could also use the iPhone GPS to disable sensor reading when moving. As well as only record seismic data when the app detects the iPhone is laying flat on its back. Another option would be to disable the seismic sensor data output when a face is detected with the front facing camera. Requiring the app to be running in the foreground would also further prevent false readings. This could easily, quickly, and cheaply create a huge network of seismographs around the world. ### 5/5 — Love this program! *2014-07-15, version 1.0.2* This app is really nice, well designed, and really easy to use. I had some personal questions on the app preferences and the creator sent a response within 15 minutes of my email being sent! Impressive!!! Give this program a try, you will like it. ### 5/5 — Great app... *2014-06-25, version 1.0.1* This is a very nice handy app and provides real time shake outs. Color is very pleasing and the features are very unique. I would definitely recommend this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-04-16, version 4.1.0* It asks for your phone number to recieve a verification code, but once you do, it asks to update the app and won’t text me the code. Complete waste of time and might potentially be stealing your personal info! ### 1/5 — Does not have functionality as shown in preview *2021-12-11, version 4.1.0* Version 4.1.0 and website - I cannot get anything other than different versions of risk maps. No way to access the individual building risk assessment screen as shown in the first iOS App Store preview screenshot. Very suspicious as other reviewers have complained about this for years, yet not addressed! ### 1/5 — Why app requires your phone number? *2021-02-22, version 4.0* There is absolutely no need for this app to require your phone number. Delete! ### 1/5 — Super delayed earthquake info *2021-01-17, version 4.0* So I’m sitting here eating and there is a quake, we go outside, our neighbors felt it too. No push notification message from Temblor. So I manually launch Temblor and scroll to my area on the map, nothing is showing and no recent quakes in this hemisphere on in the list. So I give up on Temblor and go to usgs.gov and enter an “did you feel it” earthquake report. A few minutes after I finish my report I get the Temblor notice. What good is that? ### 1/5 — Worst privacy policy of any app I’ve yet seen *2020-06-24, version 4.0* There is ZERO reason I should or would give my phone number to a company I don’t know and that has nothing to do with telephony. In fact, there’s no reason at all to require signup for this app in the first place. On reading the privacy policy, the company has the right to give your phone number to any third-party business for any reason, including “to sell products or services to you”. I already get enough spam calls and texts, thanks. ### 1/5 — Been using it for years. No more due to privacy. *2020-03-22, version 4.0* The app now requires you to submit your mobile phone number. Not gonna happen. ### 1/5 — There’s been 9 earth quakes and you are clueless *2019-12-25, version 4.0* Not at all worth getting ### 1/5 — Used to be great but then it requires your phone number *2019-09-17, version 4.0* What the heck? This used to be a really solid earthquake tracker and reporter...until just now, when the developer updated the app and forced all users to enter a personal phone number in order to launch the app. That's right, you can no longer use this app unless you hand over your private phone number to the developers. That deserves a one star rating right away. Used to be five stars, is now one star. How DARE you? ### 1/5 — The core features don’t work *2019-07-11, version 3.2.1* For some reason, the interface for me doesn’t even resemble what the screenshots show. Few examples: quake insights section is empty/blank, I can’t see any fault lines, fault zones don’t display, and there isn’t anything displayed regarding risk or retrofit costs. The legend box displays and layers do show their corresponding key in the legend box, however, no data is displayed on the map. Sometimes the map changes zoom level depending on the layer I selected, but I might as well just use Apple Maps for the basic functionality I’m getting out of this app - i.e. satellite view... Good thing you have a web interface that can display relevant data for me. Even that works only half the time, though, randomly returning me to an Access Denied screen every few minutes while I try to browse and modify various risk assessment options. What gives? Happy to update review rating if you can help me get this working. ### 1/5 — Horrible since update *2016-06-11, version 3.0.3* Nothing like the previous versions of this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It is so cool *2026-03-26, version 4.2.0* Wow! This app is so cool! Users can know all the faults around the world! It is really amazing app! ### 5/5 — Best earthquake app I have used *2020-03-20, version 4.0* This is the earthquake app I have used. I like The ability of entering my address and seeing how safe my location is ### 5/5 — Access code *2019-10-04, version 4.0* I am waiting for 5 mins and there is still no access code sent to my phone number. Please fix this asap, I am amazed by the app and it’s service but it’s so disappointing that I can’t even use it. Please take it as a heads up. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2017-03-02, version 3.2* interesting app, really eye opening. I live in CA and I'm now going to go do the basic earthquake safety features Temblor suggests on their website. I could also look at my friends house in Chile. ### 5/5 — Intuitive and user friendly *2017-03-02, version 3.2* Temblor was very easy to navigate and the organization of the data made it very quick to find exactly what you are looking for, and appealing to look at. I highly recommend this app to anyone interested in learning about seismic activity and it's potential effects in their region. ### 5/5 — Love love love it! *2016-06-14, version 3.0.3* I love that the app gives me recents earthquakes around my area and my hazard risk of my home. I also like that the people who came up with this app are scientist so the information is coming from a creditable source. I went to the actual website and they have tons of blogs on recent earthquakes so I can understand more and not just have news but actual earthquake info in detail! Can't wait until next update. ### 5/5 — Beautiful, easy to use interface *2016-06-06, version 3.0.3* Great app! Useful information you can't find anywhere else displayed cleanly. ### 5/5 — Useful quake risk map *2016-04-24, version 2.0.7* I love this app for checking liquifaction and mudslide hazards around the Bay Area. Very useful planning tool. ### 5/5 — Temblor is the best app ever! *2015-06-10, version 2.0.2* I have look at other earthquake apps, but by far Temblor provides everything I wanted! I can modify my colors, notifications and location! Love this app!!! ### 5/5 — EastCoast Transplant *2014-08-28, version 1.0.6* Great app, very informative. It is amazing to see how many earthquakes happen each and every day and to see them all on a map at the same time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
