  1. 5/5Great App

    This is an awesome app, and the dev seems very attentive to dealing with issues and keeping things up to date and working smoothly. For some reason I can no longer get the app to work on my phone. When I try to open it, it immediately crashes and closes again. My first assumption is that the issue is on my end. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, but my iOS is really outdated(v16.3). Updating that may fix the issue. If I get the chance to update iOS, I’ll update this review with the results as well.

  2. 5/5Great app

    Great app! One suggestion, could we select a specific date we want to look at from the dates on the bottom? I’d like to see the location of the earthquakes that happened in my town all morning.

  3. 3/5Used to be great

    I don’t know what happened to what was a great app, but it’s now a mess. I can no longer zoom in to anywhere on Earth, the app just crashes. I can only see recent quakes from my locality, and when I try to see other parts of the world, it crashes. So disappointing! Developers, what is the problem?!

  4. 3/5Flat ocean

    I like this app, but really an earthquake map should show the topography of the ocean floor, not leave it blank as though we are looking at the top of the ocean at sea level. When there’s an earthquake on a mid-ocean ridge I want to be able to exactly where it was in relation to other ridges or junctions or subduction zones. This app is missing details of 2/3 of the world. Please update to include the ocean floors because I do like this app, and would like to give it more stars

  5. 5/5Great App!

    I’m a geologist and I will use this for work. Love that it gives me all the USGS information on my phone and it works with the Apple Watch as well! Saves me from having to open a browser and find the right url ... etc!
