NewQuake vs Bumpwise

NewQuake shows you what an earthquake actually did, not just its magnitude. Every significant quake comes with a map you can read. Replay the P and S seismic waves spreading from the epicenter, see ShakeMap shading where the ground shook hardest, watch the aftershock sequence fan out from the mainshock, and find the active faults nearby, including which plate is diving beneath which at a subduction zone. For the largest events, watch the finite-fault rupture unfold across the fault plane. Then go underground: open any quake in 3D to see how deep it struck, the plate sinking beneath it and the rupture, then rotate and replay it. What you get • A 3D view of every quake underground, with the faults, the sinking plate and the rupture, to rotate and replay • Live for great quakes and tsunamis: while the waves are still travelling, the map draws them where they are right now • Recent feed with color-coded magnitudes, felt reports, JMA shindo for Japan, and aftershock sequence pills • Map tab with a satellite globe, plate boundaries, active faults, and every recent event in one view • Event pages with depth in context, energy released, fault type, and the official agency bulletin • Historical Quakes: the great and giant earthquakes of the past, plotted and replayable • Guided map tours of last week's notable quakes and the historic ones, flying underground into each • Tsunami bulletins from NOAA, with the wavefront routed over the ocean floor and replayed • Ongoing volcanic eruptions from GDACS and the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program • Notifications with your own magnitude and severity thresholds, per saved location • Optional Time-Sensitive alerts for dangerous nearby events • Home Screen widget with the latest event • A glossary that explains every term the app uses • No accounts, no advertising, no tracking Data sources U.S. Geological Survey, European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, Japan Meteorological Agency, GeoNet (GNS Science, New Zealand), NOAA / National Weather Service, GDACS, and the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program.

PIONEERING TURBULENCE TECHNOLOGY Bumpwise does more than check the weather near your departure and destination. It analyzes conditions along the route your aircraft is actually expected to fly, and fuses multiple layers of aviation, weather, and flight data into a single forecast. The scoring engine draws on: NOAA turbulence and weather models Live pilot reports (PIREPs) AIRMETs and SIGMETs Convective weather advisories Winds aloft and jet stream conditions Flight schedules and route information Live aircraft position data Bumpwise builds a corridor around your route and estimates when your aircraft will reach each part of it, so forecast conditions are matched to where your flight will be at that moment rather than treated as one static weather snapshot. The engine then analyzes wind and gust intensity at takeoff and landing, vertical and horizontal wind shear, clear air turbulence indicators at cruise, turbulence model data, pilot reports, and active advisories. These signals become a minute by minute turbulence timeline, distilled into your flight's 0 to 100 score plus a separate score for the roughest section of the route. Forecasts refresh continuously and sharpen as departure approaches, so your numbers are most accurate in the hours before you board, exactly when you need them. WHAT YOU GET A 0 to 100 turbulence score for your specific flight A separate score for the bumpiest section of your route A phase by phase turbulence timeline from takeoff to landing A clear view of where smoother and bumpier conditions are expected Plain English explanations of what is driving your forecast Pilot reports and aviation advisories built into the score Live flight tracking along your route Automatic updates as conditions and flight status change A global turbulence and weather map BUILT FOR NERVOUS FLYERS When the seatbelt sign comes on, knowing helps, and so does having something to do. Bumpwise includes guided calm breathing you can follow right on screen, before or during your flight, even in airplane mode. Slow, paced breathing is one of the most reliable ways to settle your body's stress response, and pairing it with a timeline that shows when the bumps end changes how turbulence feels. YOUR PASSPORT Save flights to your personal Bumpwise Passport. Keep upcoming trips together, revisit previous routes, and build a history of every flight you have followed. FLY WITH MORE CONFIDENCE Flying feels stressful when you do not know what is coming. Behind the simple score is a forecasting system analyzing your route, timing, weather models, pilot reports, and live flight data, and turning all of it into one clear answer: what your flight is expected to feel like before you board. Check the air ahead. Know what to expect. Fly with more confidence. Terms of Use (EULA): https://bumpwise.app/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://bumpwise.app/privacy-policy
