## What is Wake up! Earthquake?

This app is intended for entertainment purposes only and DOES NOT provide true earthquake seismograph functionality.

Wake up Earthquake has been developed to provide an earthquake alarm.
It is possible to detect a very small earthquake through the official feeds like USGS and EMSC.
Wake up Earthquake warns you in case of an earthquake and allows you to rescue you and your loved ones.
Now you can sleep with peace of mind, sure to be alerted in case of any earthquake!

NOW you can activate the alarm just put your phone horizontally on the table!

There are 3 types of alarms:
- Audio: Can be played 3 different types of audio alarm.
- Visual: Can be displayed on the screen a text message.
- Flash LED: If available, the flash LED warning through the blinking. You can keep on after an alarm.
- E-mail: With this feature you will be able to send an e-mail when an alarm occur.

The application now continues to detect earthquakes even in standby mode.
In this mode you can also lock the device and you will be notified via audible alarm or notification.
You can activate the power saving mode to reduce power consumption of the battery.

Now you can enable and disable the alarm at a particular time of the day.

EARTHQUAKES IN THE WORLD:
This section allows you to see the seismic activity around the world. It is connected with the USGS and EMSC database to always retrieve the most current data.
For all earthquakes it is possible to see when the event occurred in your timezone and the event's timezone and also the UTC timezone.
It is interesting to see how far away the earthquake was. 
You can see all earthquakes sorted by magnitude, date, distance or depth.
It is possible filter the events for showing only the most significant earthquakes.


We are sure that Wake up Earthquake will be very useful especially where earth movement activity is a frequent problem.

For any information, suggestions or reports, please contact us.

### 1/5 — Aggiornatela!

*2025-03-04, version 2.2.11*

Visto che ho pagato per averla,sarebbe utile aggiornarla visto che non la aggiornate da 2 anni,grazie.

### 5/5 — Best Vibration Detection App That Exists!

*2021-10-30*

I downloaded and extensively experimented with every iPhone Vibration Detection / Seismograph there is. Spent many hours shopping around. If you need to detect the most sensitive vibrations, there is no question, this app is the best. The author of this app clearly cares about his work and has integrated many intelligent and useful features into it. Job well done, and hope you know that although I am using this for an unconventional purpose, this had been a life saver. Without this, I could never have achieved my goal. Thank you for your contribution!

### 1/5 — Agiornate

*2019-09-26, version 2.1.2*

AGIORNATE

### 1/5 — Earthquake

*2019-02-24*

It doesn't Record the Event at all.But it records mini iPad just fine.

### 4/5 — We don’t get many quakes here

*2019-02-10*

...but this is a cool idea that doesn’t fail to register even the smallest of disturbances. Picks up music vibrations down to a whisper when sensitivity is cranked up. I’ll likely never use it for its intended purpose, but is pretty neat to kill time. Well crafted app as well! You can see the time put into the design .

### 5/5 — Smart App

*2019-01-29, version 2.1.2*

Currently using this app in Northern Iraq. It gives real time alerts and comes with a good alarm. It can also activate the phone flash and torch light too. 
Very useful indeed. Sensitivity adjustments can also be made to the phone, as can the distance you want to receive notifications from. 
Worth the money, a great little app.

### 5/5 — Perfetta

*2018-12-02, version 2.1.2*

Spero non debba mai servirmi ma meglio prevenire. 
Meglio averla che non.. ❤️

### 5/5 — Good ios12 update but

*2018-09-23, version 2.1.2*

Need iphone x support to display in full screen.

### 1/5 — Was better...

*2018-09-23*

No longer includes the Apple Watch app, but description states that it does.

### 5/5 — Hervorragend und genau

*2018-06-25*

Macht das was sie soll. Sehr übersichtlich und eifach zu bedienen. Prima.
