Rumble is a beautiful, dark way to follow earthquakes as they happen -- anywhere on Earth. GET ALERTED Turn on notifications for quakes near you -- you choose how close and how strong. Or set a worldwide magnitude threshold and never miss a major one, wherever it strikes. Alerts are optional and fully under your control. SEE IT LIVE Every quake from the global USGS feed, updated continuously on a clean, fast map. Tap any quake for its magnitude, depth, and distance from you. KEEP AN EYE OUT Add a home-screen widget to keep the latest quakes in view without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Rumble uses only your approximate location -- and only when you turn on nearby alerts. Powered by real-time data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Note: Rumble reports earthquakes after they're detected and published by seismic networks and is not an early-warning system.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rumble at none against SkyTrace's 1. Rumble also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). SkyTrace's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
