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!

Great idea, need to adjust testing times
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.
Very useful, highly recommended 👍
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.
