QuakeWatch has been the most popular paid earthquake app in the App Store for over 10 years now -- used by schools, relief agencies, media outlets, and thousands of people around the world curious about earthquakes near to them, family, or friends. 

It has reached the App Store Top 100, and #1 in News, multiple times.

It is a feature-rich reference guide, free of ads, of the latest magnitude 1.0 and larger earthquakes from around the world as provided by ten worldwide sources including the US Geological Survey and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. Find out when they happened, where they happened, how big they were, and more. All in an easy-to-use interface without losing space to banner ads!

The key features of QuakeWatch include:

• An interactive world map view with tectonic plates showing reported earthquakes over the past week. Pan and zoom the map to focus on hot spots and click the details button to see the quake report. Also the ability to replay the earthquakes in order.

• Sort the listing by the most recent earthquakes.
• Sort by the largest earthquakes over the past week.
• Sort by the closest earthquakes to your location and see the distance and direction from your position.
• Sort by earthquakes nearest to a place anywhere on the earth that you easily specify. Great for tracking quakes near family members. Shows the distance and bearing from them.

• Choose from reporting services in the US, Europe, Canada, Mexico, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Iceland, and Italy.

• Select the tsunami icon in the toolbar for quick access to the latest tsunami information for the Pacific, US West Coast & Alaska, Australia, and Japan.

• Send earthquake information to yourself or others through email, Twitter, Facebook, or SMS text messaging. 

• Filter out smaller earthquakes from the list by setting the minimum shown to be between 1.0 and 6.0.

• Select an earthquake from the list to view more information along with a live map of its location and the ability to show nearby earthquakes.

• Selecting the blue additional details button will take you to the reporting web site integrated into the application for more information about the earthquake which may include distances from cities, historical maps, shake maps, etc., and then easily return to the list.

• Universal app - supports the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

• Supports quick view multitasking on the iPad on iOS 10 and newer.

• iPod touch and iPad WiFi users can manually specify their current location if greater accuracy is needed.

• The ability to define local earthquakes within a radius of your location. Then sort by "Closest" to see all local earthquakes sorted by distance or the most recent.

• Earthquakes within the last 2 hours and within your local range are colored blue for quick identification.

• All times are shown in your time zone.

• No banner ads.

## QuakeWatch Reviews in United States

### ****- "Nice app and easy to use"
Love the layout and functionality, but as one other reviewer pointed out, it could use the push notifications so that we can locate the most recent quakes on the app.
-- they're all takek, 2024-08-14

### ***** "Quake watch"
I’ve had this app since it was first released. I’m very pleased with its ease of use and functionality.
-- Alala55, 2024-07-26

### ****- "Its A Good App"
QuakeWatch is a good app. It works as advertised. My only real problem is there seems to be no way to contact the developer. When I go to the link to contact the developer all I get is a 404 error. Does that mean there's going to be no future updates?
-- ffkarle, 2024-01-21

### ***** "Great app"
If you want to keep track of earth quakes around they globe, this is the app to have!
-- Belma720, 2022-11-06

### *---- "No notification settings !!"
I go to set up my notification settings for sound and such and it’s not in my notification settings at all !!! Very sad !!
-- Bigskyjrt, 2021-06-04

### ***** "Closest/Nearest"
Good app., but Closest and Nearest mean the same thing.  So why are they BOTH tabs along with Latest and Biggest.  Which are vastly different unlike closest and nearest which like I said are the same thing, exactly.  We don’t need both just Latest and Biggest and Closest OR Nearest.
-- Jenee Tapert, 2020-09-19

### ***-- "Inaccuracies."
In accurate information and names of towns  and regions names omission in the world map.
-- dannybay76, 2020-08-08

### ****- "could use tweeks"
i’d like to be able to filter ‘depths’ of quakes like 
you can richter scale. that would allow a better view of the more dangerous shallow quakes of 20km or less,  and where and when they occur.
-- Commander1949, 2020-01-18

### ***** "Excellent!"
Very useful.
-- Travelingjake, 2020-01-01

### ***** "Great app"
Works well
-- b.a.n.n.a., 2019-10-23

### ***** "Works great every time!"
I’ve had this app for ages and it works great every time. I just felt an earthquake, opened the app & it shows where, when & how strong. Thanks for making this app!
-- jj999, 2019-10-15

### ***** "Super Great App"
This is such a great App. So simple to use & customize. Latest info is posted rather quickly. Lots of great features. Best 0.99¢ I’ve ever spent.
-- Farside722, 2019-07-12

### ***-- "The app has stopped updating"
We're still getting sizable aftershocks post 7.1 earthquake in California, including a 5.5, and no mention of it in the app, despite refreshing it several times.
-- trixiesirisheyes, 2019-07-06

### ***-- "Great, Unless You Live in Hawaii"
Easy to use, lots of data, but never shows the quakes that hit Hawaii. We had a 5.3 yesterday, that didn't show up on the app. No idea why; a couple of years ago Hawaii quakes showed up, but not now.
-- Mistfall, 2019-04-14

### ***** "Great app"
Simple, free, and works well.
-- CLocate, 2019-02-14

### ***** "QuakeWatch"
I have had this app for a few years now and I’m very pleased with it. 1/2/2019
-- Gordonxman, 2019-01-04

### *---- "Slow"
Looking for a new Earthquake AP.  This one is very slow in reporting/updating the information .
-- Burpbirl, 2019-01-02

### ***** "Best of the Lot!"
Because this app pulls from numerous sources and not JUST USGS-who have a reputation for under-reporting or even NOT reporting quakes which may affect their corporate sponsors-after trying NUMEROUS quake apps, I ALWAYS return to this one.  My only problem has been notifications.  But, now I have an app that ONLY gives push notifications, (not much detail), and I can just open THIS app for all my detail!
Have also recommended to fellow Dutch-watchers. While I personally have only experienced a few quakes personally and live in a rather low risk zone;  after the Aug ‘11 quake knocked my building off its foundation here in Pa;  and I have friends & family in high-risk zones, I prefer to keep INFORMED & PREPARED!
-- SoloPocono, 2018-12-09

### ****- "Goes hand in hand with Dutchsinse on You Tube"
This app is great, but I remember when I first downloaded this app, a few months back, I was able to zoom into an area, much closer than I can now.. what happened to the pixels? It’s not as clear anymore.. I liked it before when I could see exactly what the terrain looks like, where the quake hit. I would really appreciate if you could fix that issue! Thanks!!
-- shortygir5, 2018-09-09

### ***** "Fabulous App"
This should be on everyone’s phone or tablet right beside their favorite weather app! I have been using this app for years, and it just keeps getting better. There is so much to learn from QuakeWatch.
Real-time information always fascinates me. I highly recommend this excellent app.
