this app is weird. it'll alert you one or two times, then for some reason it'll just quit sending alerts all together. There is delay of up to 15 minutes between occurrence and notification. Even still, what's the point of having the app, if it fails to notify you at all? Point is, I've noticed, you have to uninstall it and then reinstall it quite often for it to work.

Update:. Recently started crashing upon opening. Tried clearing cache, data, uninstalled, reinstalled, verified permissions. Nothing works. Cannot use it any longer. Was nice when it worked. ---------------- really like this app. It lets me keep tabs on the shaking, and when I feel tremors, I can check to see how strong they were.

I've had this app for years and it HAD been reliable and accurate. I even paid for the Pro version so I could set up and receive custom notifications. I'd receive notifications quickly and with important information regarding any nearby quakes. However, for the past few months I no longer receive any notifications - just as many others are reporting. Until this is fixed, my rating moves from a 5 to a 1.

Crashing on opening. ☹️ I've used this app for many years. I even bought the pro version years ago. I've tried removing and reinstalling. Even tried an older copy I had saved. Still crashing on opening. I've sent a crash report in. But haven't heard anything. If you keep trying to open it it will give you the option to send a crash report in.

I've been using this app for several years and it has worked great. About 2 months ago it quit alerting for some reason. I've uninstalled it plus the pro version and reinstalled them but it still doesn't work. I've sent feedback emails to the developer twice and haven't received an answer and there haven't been any updates. Maybe something happened to him.

Like others have mentioned, this app used to be great. However, it no longer works properly. Even with the additional app for filters/notifications, they do not operate properly anymore. The app still obtains information for quakes, but seems to only ever pull that data when I force the app to get it. The app also never sends notifications on any quakes either. Had a series of quakes in our area last night, with the largest being a 6.0+ and never got a single notification from the app for any of the 30+ quakes/aftershocks all night.

Alert actually went off just as I realized it was an earthquake. Cool that it went off though. Was driving and the car started getting all wobbly like the tires were all coming off their axles, started pulling over and the alert sounded. Was a 5.8 almost on top of us. Hopefully next time it will go off a few seconds before. Also cool that I could see details for the quake without having to do an internet search. I will keep this app.

Way better than the official websites on earthquakes. Some are so primitive it's hard to make any sense of. Great visuals, settings are ok. I would like to see longer search engines and more magnitute incraments 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 ect.. along with different colors of each level. blue being a 1.0 and moving towards deap red or white for magnitude 7.0 and higher.

Update** notification at 3 mins with estimated 5.7.. one min later 5.1 happened. Great App!. I like this one the best. It is always up to date, accurate and simple to use. Sometimes you just need to know if there was an earthquake nearby, not so many details and chatter and ads, etc. On a day when we were having many foreshocks, this app alerted my phone and within seconds we had a good tremor.

As a Californian ... this is a GO TO app frequently! as of the last 3 days. I have not been able to used this app due to a persistent loading situation. To bad, as I have come to rely on it. I will continue to go over to USGS for another day. if still no improvement, I will uninstall. Just figured it out. My carrier did an update which has apparent issues. Not using my internet service has allowed me to use this app.

I have had it for years and in the last few, I have yet to receive even one notification. The notification settings are allowed, I don't understand. Quite frustrating really. If someone can help me fix this issue, I will gladly post 5 stars. 🌟 Galaxy Fold 6

It used to lock my settings and be more accurate but has since slowed considerably. I've reviewed all the settings and reset them 4 or 5 times and to no avail. I need it, in the wake of recent California events, not ONCE has it functioned- no warnings, the distance is off and goes off satellite setting. Please advise. As of November 2019, I have yet to receive notifications.

Alerts no longer work in the previously available paid Alerter add-on (fails to connect), which is no longer even mentioned AT ALL in the app or the Play Store, so those of us who paid for it previously got swindled :( It's a decent app for data but the alerts were the feature I wanted and paid for that the developer silently removed. Do not recommend.

Nice app but I noticed in some countries it doesn't post info on all significant quakes. I suspect that in some countries it may not post any info at all... Edit 6/3/2020 - Seems to not open or work anymore. I noticed other reviews about it but I won't change my rating. It was good when it was working...hopefully this doesnt mean that it is discontinued now. Thanks for all your work, but for now, I may have to look for another.

Been using this for years, great to show what is going on globally earthquake wise! Edit: just not getting any alerts any more, only what I see when I open the app. The connect function for alerts seems broken and the link to the paid version of the alerter is not valid on Google Play any more. It is a shame, I have been using this for years with fairly timely alerts, now this part looks to be broken recently.

Keeps shutting off. It only opens for a second then shuts off. This use to be a great app. I've used it for years, but for months now it's the same thing. Never even opens. I tried uninstalling then re installed... But that didn't work. Work out the kinks or take the app discontinue the app! You don't even deserve one star!

This was once a very good app. However it keeps crashing. It will open for a few seconds and then crash. I have reinstalled it multiple times and it does the same. I have cleared its cache and its data files and nothing works. Uninstalling for now until you guys can fix the issue. Very disappointed!

Been using this app for a few years in conjunction with another similar app. This app is just okay. I'll get an alert and open the app, but it says "no earthquake ... or higher detected" within my filters. I have the alerts set right. Also the 1000mi radius ain't bad as I live in CA so I have the whole state set. Edit: Still does it and more often than not. Will rate 5 stars once fixed.

Even without actual alerts, it was a decent app until the past few days. Now it stops every time i open it. And i cast "report feedback" because the app says there's no data connection. Clearly i have a connection, or i wouldn't be writing this right now. And we just had a 5.5 in the LA area.

I used this app for two years and as of this week, it WILL NOT even open for more than about two seconds. Then it says it's stopped working and closing it or reporting it are the only options. I uninstalled and reinstalled it three times and have the same outcome. Very upset. This is the only earthquake app I liked. I've checked several others and don't like any of them. Please fix the app.
