As a former Californian, I still like to know what is quaking around the world. Great app keeps me informed.
App is great but distance filter not working
Accurate and timely.
Missing lots of data
Easy to use
The App is not very reliable. Romania is a country in Europe with very high seismic activities, deadly from time to time. In your list of countries Romania is missing completely.
It does not work at all. Hope they get it fixed
It's a great app very current and former t i formation all around the world love it
Network error most of the time.
This is a very useful earthquake app.
Great app very informative
Keeps me connected
When you going to fix this piece of crap? Worked great for a few months but, now it will not do anything!,good thing it is free. I do notice it still gets adds at the bottom of the otherwise blank screen though.
Solid setup to the app but it won't work around the Vancouver Island area which is one of the most active areas!
This app gives you everything. I live in Oregon and all the other apps I had for some reason didn't show the quakes in the state until the following day.
I never had a problem with the previous version.
It is very important that we have notification in this app. Once we have that I would give 5 stars
Crashed on first opening.
Yeh it's ok.........
Desperately wanting notifications
Love it
I got other earthquake app right before this one to check out what is going on. I just feel one earthquake. This app has fast update. Other app didn't show me anything...love it. I think this is a good one.
Update: all fixed Starting about 3 weeks ago, began resetting itself. Plus, no longer updates. Too bad, used to be pretty good. Now it's uninstall.
I enjoy checking it and have learned alot.
I love checking into this site!
Live in California so very important app.
I like it - graphics are very simple and the app works well. Could you a notification in a future update? Thanks.
For the past month it's been the best app I have. However the last few days it's not picking up moderate earthquakes in Alaska and several other places. Every app has a 4.8 recorded at Sandpoint Alaska today except for yours It was reported by EMSC so it should have been there. This is critical information to be left out or not picked up. You really need to look into this.
