According to this app the Tajogaite eruption on La Palma, that buried some 2500 homes in 2021 has not happened yet.It states the last volcanic eruption was 1971. ### 5/5 — Would recommend. *2026-02-27, version 1.6.4* Best volcano app! ### 5/5 — Volcanoes: maps, alerts *2026-02-25, version 1.6.4* I have been in search of an app that would give me real-time information and this has been working out perfectly! Thanks ### 5/5 — Accuracy is Good *2026-02-20, version 1.6.4* Science used is spot on! ### 5/5 — Vulkane *2026-01-22* Funktioniert **Developer response:** Wir freuen uns, dass alles gut funktioniert! Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-15, version 1.6.4* Easy to use. Great information. Up to the minute. ### 3/5 — Don't buy for the alerts *2026-01-14, version 1.6.4* It gives notifications for every volcano, and you can select only the alert level. Paid $4 to find that out. So now I get 16 notifications a day, which alp I will be deleting. ### 5/5 — Super app *2026-01-09* Très bien ! **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires positifs ! Nous sommes ravis que l'application vous plaise. ### 5/5 — Volcanoes *2026-01-08, version 1.6.4* Interesting for teaching myself and grandkids ### 5/5 — Rad *2026-01-01, version 1.6.4* Easy to use & full of cool info ### 5/5 — Very informative ! *2025-12-27, version 1.6.4* This app is very helpful and it links together earthquakes and volcanoes. The photos often don’t sync, but the information is clear and accurate. ### 5/5 — Great for geology nerds *2025-11-11, version 1.6.4* I like to keep track of volcanic activity and this is great ### 5/5 — Review *2025-11-11, version 1.6.4* Great app. Endtimes stuff ### 3/5 — Hard to follow *2025-11-05, version 1.6.4* It’s fun to scroll down the ash activity list, but there and elsewhere are pictographs with no explanation of what they refer to. Which makes it hard to use. ### 4/5 — Fois but bot satisfactoire *2025-10-30* With your Smithonian Institute (Global Volcanisme Program) datas Orly, covering many areas as Europe, Africa, middle east and relates Islands lacks if réactivité as as américains they are focused on « America » not on information on the thema. As other source VAAC is OK. You must include informations from other countries: IPGP (Paris) or JMA (Tokyo) or any other reliable source. Example: le Piton de la Fournaise (Réunion Island) erupting 2 or 3 time a year noted as potentially active and not noting that la Fournaise is erupting for the second time this year (since April 27. still on as per today) Try to check your « see webcam » Patrick Delaplace **Developer response:** Your feedback is really important to us, and we appreciate your insights regarding the data sources and coverage. It's clear you're passionate about getting accurate information on global volcanic activity, especially concerning important eruptions like that of Piton de la Fournaise. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions; they help us understand user needs better! ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-09-28, version 1.6.4* Great job ### 5/5 — Good!! *2025-09-24* 直感的に確認出来て面白い。 **Developer response:** 楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです！直感的な使い勝手を評価していただき、ありがとうございます。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New User *2026-07-30, version 1.6.4* Forced to rate, but haven’t used enough to rate yet ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-11-03, version 1.6.4* 5 active volcanoes in Philippines alone this app shows as “possibly active.” Italy same thing. Bogus app. ### 1/5 — Worthless! *2025-08-03, version 1.6.4* It will not alert you at all unless you buy it. No try first function. ### 1/5 — Paid $15 for the app to stop working *2024-11-12, version 1.6.4* It doesn’t even say Erebus is erupting, yet it is. Links in the app direct you nowhere. Why have webcam links that make me have to restart my phone? I thought paying for ALL the extra features might help the situation (they ask you to pay for SOME of the extra features for 4.99 then make you pay an additional $8.99 for more of the extra features. Again, unclear what features this unlocks, as now the app won’t even work when I click on anything. ### 1/5 — Franchement… *2024-09-03* Des volcans bien connus en Islande sont en éruption en ce moment (septembre 2024) et rien n’est indiqué sur la carte … franchement bof **Developer response:** Nous comprenons votre déception. Nous faisons de notre mieux pour fournir des informations à jour, mais il peut y avoir des délais dans la mise à jour des données. Merci pour votre retour, cela nous aide à améliorer l’application. ### 1/5 — Constant alerts; no way to turn them off! *2024-08-22, version 1.6.4* I tried to set this up for no alerts, but I constantly get alerts all day long. I’ve gone into settings and selected no alerts, but nothing changes. It seems the only way to get rid of the alerts is to give up the money I’ve spent and delete the app. Seems ridiculous and a waste of money. ### 1/5 — vulkane *2024-07-15, version 1.6.4* Ich weiß nicht, was diese App soll. Sie gibt keinerlei aktuelle Informationen. Oder diese sind so versteckt, dass man sie unmöglich erkennen kann. ### 1/5 — Excellent: not any more *2024-06-18, version 1.6.4* Informative and important for those who wish to understand what goes on and where it goes neat and far, HOWEVER, the app should let you see what you want to see. I don’t want to see earthquakes or ash or etc - just volcanoes Please fix and you can have your five stars back ⭐️⭐️ I completely agree and the info is over and over — boring ### 1/5 — Not up to date *2024-01-19, version 1.6.4* There is an active volcano in Iceland and they are not showing up on the map. ### 1/5 — Iceland *2024-01-14, version 1.6.4* 14/1 - Volcano in Iceland gone off, nothing on app!!? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tectonic plates active volcanoes *2026-09-03, version 1.6.4* Great app to track activity in your preferred region. ### 5/5 — Great Volcano App *2026-08-27, version 1.6.4* This is a very convenient app as you can easily see all the volcanoes around the world and the active volcanos are marked in red. Once you tap on them you get a report for that week’s activity. ### 5/5 — A lot of information *2026-08-25, version 1.6.4* There is everything I want to know. ### 5/5 — Volcanoes and earthquakes *2026-08-23, version 1.6.4* I love this app it’s one point and the looks are perfect. ### 5/5 — VOL *2026-08-15, version 1.6.4* Pretty good:free.pay good:no adds.more volcanoes. more sulfer.more earthquakes. ### 5/5 — Great volcano app *2026-08-10, version 1.6.4* The alerts and info are great. Does what it needs. ### 5/5 — I love to know what’s happening with the planet! *2026-07-24, version 1.6.4* I enjoy this app. Flying can be interesting and anyone who remembers the vol-cations when the Iceland volcano erupted a few years ago will understand why I love this app! ### 5/5 — Volcan *2026-05-15* Impeccable **Developer response:** We appreciate your fantastic feedback! ### 5/5 — Does What It Does *2026-03-26, version 1.6.4* A volcano acts up, I get an alert. Very feature rich app. Not sure how I ever got by without it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-15, version 1.6.4* If you’re fascinated by volcanoes, earthquakes ect., get this app. Start out for free and add options as your interest increases. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
