Useful, but…
…can’t stop the screen from constantly moving. If you select a spot the screen moves a little. If deselect or choose another spot the screen moves even more. It’s like playing a video game of whackamole.
Limited
Very limited info on this app as compared to other apps. No way to fine tune it. A little difficult or glitchy like when rotating and zooming. Only works in landscape mode, unnecessarily. Wrong name for at least one country.
Only feature I like is the globe representation.
Sorry 2 stars.

Great app for quick follow-up on quakes and tremors around the globe!
The color-coded map pins indicating locations of quakes are easy to use and distinguish !when looking at the globe. Zoom in and zoom out works great. Locating large quakes is easy with the color coding. Identify areas of recent seismic activity is easy. The app loads quickly and the developer is responsive to bug reports! Thanks. Great app!

Earthquake
Great app
Great app
This is by far the best and most informative app to watch earth movement.
Quick easy
Love this app! It’s Fast no Bs! I just wish it had a notification option.
Observer
Informative world wide..... and EASY to use!
Best graphical earthquake app
This application is easy to use and provides the best global graphical interface of any of the earthquake applications. It also allows you to easily toggle to check on earthquakes daily or even hourly. Perhaps the application title should be altered so that it comes up in a search of earthquake apps in the app store. Amazingly, this app is totally free and has no ads. Hopefully the developer will update this app to work with iOS 10 when it comes out. Thank you to the developer for providing such a nice app that is totally free.

Awesome!
Great app, simple to use and updated. Thanks
Not working
I have an iPod touch fifth generation and none of the earthquake icons load.... It's just an empty map
It was a great app
This app worked great and was a 5 star app until about 2 weeks ago and it has stopped completely on my iPad and iPhone. My friends app quit working too. I just deleted and re-loaded and it still does not work. Now it gets only 1 star for the pretty color atlas. Get it working again and it will be a 5 star app again.

First place I go...
when I hear about EQs ! Use regularly on my twitter feed , just an all around great app showing EG on globe . Love it if they'd put fault lines & plates , but I sure can live with this app !
Real five pointer !

Needs detailed map.
Zoom in and no map? Frustrating.
Needs this feature
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.

USELESS
Doesn't work any more, I have iPhone 5.
Not very time sensitive.
There was a 7.2 magnitude quake (pretty big) in Mexico about 90 minutes ago.
There is nothing that shows you within this app.
I was alerted by a news app.
Even hunting for a known quake is pointless with this app. Don't expect to see anything right after it happens. This example makes this app a total waste of money.

Cool!!
Very useful app for anyone interested in earthquakes and earthquake research. Very educational and highly recommended.
Awesome
I really do love this app!
Fantastic graphics
Love this app - I'm interested in tracking earthquakes as I live on the West coast. I've had a few different earthquake apps but when I came across this one I was really impressed with the function and beautiful graphics. Definitely my go-to app for tracking now!
Clever user interface
The user interface for this app is intuitive, elegantly simple and very effective. And the app is good too :-)
