Nice UI, that’s about it…
Worthless, today we had a 4.9 shake in So Cal, and hours later the app still shows the last event 7 days ago… Don’t count on it’s accuracy.
Description
MyShake is a comprehensive and free earthquake app offering these features:
Earthquake Early Warnings
Receive timely, potentially life-saving early warning alerts in California, Oregon and Washington. MyShake uses the USGS ShakeAlertTM system to deliver alerts for earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 (or greater) several seconds before shaking arrives.
Earthquake Safety
View safety tips for earthquake preparedness such as securing hazardous or moveable items and creating a disaster plan. Know what to do during an earthquake and learn more about Drop, Cover and Hold On!
Earthquake Map and Details
View and explore a map of earthquakes around the world and get detailed information such as earthquake magnitude, location and depth. Share your own experience of an earthquake and see community reports of shaking and damage.
Earthquake Notifications
Stay informed of earthquakes as they occur by receiving notifications on your phone. Select your regions of interest and the earthquake magnitude. You’ll never miss out on any earthquake greater than magnitude 3.5!
Smartphone-Based Global Seismic Network
Participate in a smartphone-based global seismic network. In this research project, your phone becomes a mini-seismometer and contributes to the detection of earthquakes wherever you are. This global citizen-science based seismic network has the potential to provide early warning earthquake alerts in every region of the world, even in the absence of traditional seismic networks!
About Us
MyShake is developed by the University of California, Berkeley, Seismology Lab and funded by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. The Berkeley Seismology Lab conducts essential research on earthquakes and solid earth processes while collecting and delivering high quality geophysical data.
MyShake is available in English, Spanish (Español), Chinese Traditional (繁體中文), Filipino, Korean (한국인), and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt).
MyShake is available to everyone for free with no ads and no subscription!

MyShake Reviews
App doesn’t work
It won’t send out alerts of earthquakes. Other earthquake apps are better. Need to fix the app.
All no good
Didn’t give warning
Vocal test of earthquake warning system
I just got surprised by a vocal test of the earthquake warning system while I was wearing my headphones. I am angry that I didn’t know there was going to be a test. I am angry that it was vocal. I am angry that it was over my headphones at an uncomfortable volume. I’d rather take the earthquake without warning than that confluence of conditions. At least I consent to living where there are earthquakes in advance.
Non-native, Google-dependent UI
Overall the app is great and has potential, but using an iOS native UI would be a nice touch (rather than the Android adjacent appearance) as well as ditching Google Maps for something more privacy oriented (OpenStreetMap) or native to the platform (Apple Maps).
Doesn’t work
Twice I felt an earthquake. Google and USGS says that there’s an earthquake near me but when I say I feel shaking in the app, it says no earthquakes nearby
Worked great today.
I received an audible alert that said Earthquake, Drop, Cover and Hold On. I jumped up and got under my desk. I never felt shaking, but there was an earthquake nearby. It is nice to get a couple second notice to protect yourself. Go Bears!
Earthquake hit no report
I felt an obvious earthquake in sf. Tried to report and it said no earthquakes done. Useless app and waste of taxpayer dollars.
Crashes
Crashes when setting a location to report experience.
The app is great!
This app is very good, it alerted me about 6 seconds before shaking over here in El Centro in February. Overall, great app for alerts but there is a suggestion I want to make, there should be an option that lets you adjust the option at what minimum magnitude you get alerts from.
