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.
Quakorld

Quakorld shows earthquakes around the world in real time, on a clear and fast map. LIVE • Data from USGS, EMSC and the Swiss Seismological Service, merged: an earthquake reported by several agencies appears only once. • New earthquakes arrive within seconds through the EMSC live feed. • Colors by magnitude, tectonic plate boundaries on the map. ALERTS • Get a notification as soon as an earthquake matches your rules: minimum magnitude anywhere in the world, around you, or around a place picked on the map. • Tsunami and high-impact alerts: be notified when USGS flags a possible tsunami or issues an orange or red PAGER alert. STATISTICS • Number of earthquakes, the strongest, energy released, median depth, hour-by-hour activity and the most active regions. APPLE WATCH • Earthquake list, map and details on your wrist. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no tracking. Your location is sent to the alert server only if you create a "Near Me" rule, with about 1 km precision. Quakorld is not an official warning system: public data may be delayed, revised or incomplete. Always follow the instructions of the authorities.
