MyShake

It's a great idea for an app, good looking interface. My issue is that I've received two audio earthquake tests in less than 12 hours, one of which was shortly after 3am. It's very loud and therefore very disturbing in the middle of the night. I've deleted it, hopefully these issues will get resolved with time.

It is very interesting to see the seismic activity around the world. I find the notifications and the world map useful. Using this application you get notified of earthquakes before they appear on CNN! The only thing it's really missing is support for iPad screen sizes and rotation. It currently only displays as an iPhone application on the iPad.

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.

It won’t send out alerts of earthquakes. Other earthquake apps are better. Need to fix the app.

Didn’t give warning

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.

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).

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

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!

I felt an obvious earthquake in sf. Tried to report and it said no earthquakes done. Useless app and waste of taxpayer dollars.
