Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LastQuake at 90% against Greece Earthquakes's 60%. LastQuake also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 2). Greece Earthquakes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Greece Earthquakes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LastQuake has 2.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of LastQuake's written reviews are positive against 60% of Greece Earthquakes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LastQuake ships an update every 3 months, Greece Earthquakes every 19 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
