Epicentral is a network-based educational application that displays lists and maps of earthquakes that occurred during the last day, week, or month. This version runs on iPhones, iPads, and Macs (as an iPad App) but requires iOS 26+ and macOS 26+. The data are served by the U.S. Geological Survey or the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (and three other seismological organizations). List updates take at most a few 10s of seconds. For each event, a summary of the event’s properties and relationship to nearby recent seismicity is presented. When using the USGS feeds, a link to the event-specific USGS earthquake information page is available. Several historical earthquake catalogs (sourced from the US Geological Survey) are included to provide context for more recent earthquakes. These catalogs can be used to put more recent activity in context.

I'm a pharmacy student, and I built RxAce because I wanted a study app that gets straight to the point — no subscriptions, no accounts, no ads. Pay once, study anywhere, even offline. WHAT'S INSIDE • NAPLEX-STYLE PRACTICE — 60 original exam-style questions across the five areas students struggle with most: Calculations, Pharmacotherapy, Biostatistics & Literature Evaluation, Compounding, and Medication Safety & Counseling. Every question includes a full worked explanation, because the explanation is where the learning happens. • 225 DRUG FLASHCARDS — the brand names, generics, drug classes, and indications you actually see in practice and on the exam. Tap to flip, filter by drug class, and let the built-in mastery system resurface the ones you miss. • QUICK QUIZZES — 10-question rounds: brand→generic, generic→brand, drug→class, and sig codes. Instant feedback on every answer. • SIG CODE REFERENCE — 69 pharmacy abbreviations (frequencies, routes, dosage forms, measures) in a searchable list. Great for interns and technicians too. • PROGRESS TRACKING — accuracy by category, drugs mastered, a 7-day study chart, and a daily streak to keep you honest. Everything runs on your phone. No sign-up, no data collection, no internet required. One price, all of it, forever. Made by a pharmacy student, for pharmacy students. Good luck — you've got this.
