Request for a widget

I’m increasingly checking this app out; a few times a week at least. I’ve referred the app to friends and the one feedback is if there’s a widget with notable stats? Could this be done?

Disappointed that it did not report an earthquake just 20 km near me which everyone felt.

A great earthquake App!

This app was good in its first incarnation and it is hard (I think) for developers to keep improving them. This one however, is even better than it was and definitely rates five stars from me. Well done!

Good but map pan & zoom need work

Doug_MPS6 on

Australia

Good app that provides most required information but the map pan & zoom functionality are damned frustrating & in fact used to be better in previous versions than now. Try to locate & zoom in on NZ & western Pacific detail, one of the most significant areas of recent seismic activity, & you'll find yourself stuck in the edge of the map with little flexibility. The full global view in replay is pretty hopeless too. I preferred the previous version before all the fiddling with coloured pins & tectonic plates. They are nice to have but not at the expense of the now lost map functionality. Please fix or I'll look for another app. Three stars until fixed.

Informative and easy to use

Great updates. Timely. Accurate.

Great app

AusDisciple on

Australia

This is one of my most used apps and is really well designed. The latest update (Dec 2012) is brilliant! Love it! A couple of suggestions. 1. The ability to be able to view all sections of the world map. At present, some sections are hidden at the edges near New Zealand. 2. Speed setting for quake location replay.

Question?

Blues Girl 041 on

Great App! Have reviewed previously. Developer -> Impressed with your feedback thanks :) Why am I no longer receiving updates of NZ earthquakes tho? Been a quake - hear from friends there, but not recorded on App? All Area feeds are enabled. Keep up the good work!
