Description
Main features:
- Earthquake early warnings
- User's reports on felt earthquakes
- Earthquake data from national and international seismic networks starting from magnitude 0.0
- Earthquake notifications through voice synthesizer (only PRO version)
The Earthquake Network research project develops a smartphone-based earthquake early warning system able to detect earthquakes in real time and to alert the population in advance. Smartphones are able to detect earthquakes thanks to the accelerometer on-board each device. When an earthquake is detected, users with the application installed are immediatly alerted. Since earthquake waves travel at a finite speed (from 5 to 10 km/s) it is possible to alert the population not yet reached by the damaging waves of the earthquake. For the scientific details about the project please refer to the Frontiers scientific journal at https://bit.ly/2C8B5HI
Note that the information on earthquakes detected by national and international seismic networks is usually published with a delay ranging from a few minutes to many hours, depending on the seismic network.

5 ★ I live in Northern California and I have several earthquake apps. This app consistantly provides real-time notifications that are received immediately, while my other apps may (or may not) eventually notify me of a quake that occurred 30 - 60 minutes ago. It's easy to use & I'm able to quickly post "I felt it" notifications. This is also the most detailed app that I've found. I recommend that new users be sure to adjust their settings to what their notification preferences are ahead of time.
2 ★ Not easy to use for those of us "old folks" that aren't tech savvy. I just wanted to get instant alerts of quakes for my area only. I don't wish to have my phone tracked all the time, so I wanted to leave "location" turned off but still get notifications for my zipcode. Seems pretty simple to me. But I can't even ask a question on this app. Need to simplify further for those of us that don't play with computers all day.
1 ★ a couple weeks ago i paid for the monthly subscription and was charged but as of today it says i don't have pro membership. i've checked my play store subscription list and it has also disappeared from there but i was still charged. i tried reaching out through the help menu but it says under construction. the app itself is beneficial and informative although it needs more work. i'm very concerned about being stuck with a continuous charge. i will change my rating once this issue is resolved..
1 ★ In response to the developer reply, why do other users have the same issue as me if what you say is true ? I haven't changed any settings on my two phones, before and after reinstalling app ! This app no longer works as of a few weeks ago, went dead, no notifications at all, no settings have been changed. Uninstalled then waited a day and reinstalled, still nothing. Installed a different app that does work good !
4 ★ The user interface needs polish as it takes a while to understand where to go to reduce the alerts you receive, and get alerts for big quakes only. The default settings are too inclusive and VERY loud (as it should be for an alert that could save your life). However the app works impressively well and I'm in the north of Puerto Rico and getting alerts from quakes in the South, before the wave of the quake hits me, so I'm prepared, even if for a few seconds, but way better than none.
2 ★ Paid for PRO. Getting molested every 10 minutes, even with phone in do not disturb mode. I've spent an estimated two cumulative hours trying to fine tune alerts. Should be straight forward. No. 4 rapid loud alarms with a cryptic message "earthquake network alert sound". Yeah, I get it. I can't sleep. I should be getting alerts for only a big one. Uninstalling... :-(
4 ★ It was working rather well. For some reason I went Pro and it seems less expedient on real-time alerts I like this app, I gave an initial 4 stars, then 3 because of the drawback. Imma go with 4 again so that developer understand that we understand he can get frustrated but we appreciate his help in optimizing the reliabilty. That's what I'm looking for. I'll come back and let you know if it changes to 5 stars (FF, your reply went besides the point. listen to the users. We're rooting for you :)
4 ★ It's a good app, the alert sound is rather eerie, it could be less "psycho" sounding. Also, there have been times that I have felt an earthquake, and I could see that other users in my area also felt it, as their phones reported it, but the event never showed up in the feed, so not sure what happened there.
5 ★ Since purchasing this app, having upgraded from the original free one, and after a brief disruption problem with their server ... I've now decided that I made the right decision to keep and upgrade. The audible alert via imediate recognition from the other cellphones using this app alerting others before even USGS has posted results of quake having happened is an amazing feature. I've lived in southern California my whole life and with the 4th of July having starting, this is the best app ever😎
1 ★ when I am alerted there is a quake nearby, I don't want to search all over for additional info on the quake. One alert this morning...and there are multiple reports of it. I can't tell if its upgrade, down grade of magnitude or just repeated showing of same quake. no map to zoom in to see where the quake happened....maybe it's just my lack of understanding on the apps function, alerts or operation but it doesn't work well enough or reliably enough after a year or so of having it to keep it.
5 ★ not pretty but it has a bunch of selections to choose from, you can manage your warnings, how close do they have to be to set off your alarm, tsunami warnings, an update page, you can look at the world as a whole or watch how far one earthquake traveled, chat in multiple languages, you can report the ones that you felt to share the intensity with other users, it isn't pretty but it's pretty damn good
3 ★ I downloaded and have been using your earthquake app here in Southern California ever since we had the big earthquakes on the 4th and 5th of July, 2019. It worked fine at first, but now I'm not receiving any type of alerts. I have to check my phone to see if there's been an earthquake notification or not. Also, everything's in kilometers instead of miles, so it's hard to tell how close the earthquakes really are to me. I can't find a setting to change it, or to fix the alerts.
2 ★ UPDATE: I am not receiving alerts as before... ? I love the app & have used it for 3 or 4yrs. It gives me a few secs to move to a safer area in my home when a large quake hits close by & before the "wave" reaches my location. A few secs is better than none, especially if one lives in areas where quakes happen often. I live in Southern CA. I however would like to know if the feature for the fault lines has been removed? I have searched for that option in settings, but I do not see it.
4 ★ This app works great and working fine until they did a update to version 10.9.25 Now when I receive a earthquake alert, I see it as something that comes across that is not in my settings and when I click on it, shows an earthquake that is not in my settings or in my State. Whomever made the update version needs to fix this BUG or send me the previous version that worked perfectly. Thank you, M.M.
5 ★ This app is great!, while i was rating it 4 stars and some issues, an earthquake early than 47 SECONDS in the Philippines just pop-up while i was rating. I Thought this will never work in the Philippines But IT WORKED!!!!!! thank you. Here are issue: If you press "Test Alert" Many times the button automatically stops That's it Thank U 😀😀
