GeoNet Quake

Living in Sydney and I find this information very handy to keep up with happenings at home. Thank you

This app sends notifications when there is an event around the country. Does exactly what it says. Severity, magnitude, and depth. More info than you may need. Highly recommend.

Not bad as a way to just see earthquakes but there's lots of bizarre decisions made for the app layout etc. Notifications are sometimes instant but then the app has nothing about the earthquake so it's like a phantom alert. Othet times, the notification comes through 12 hours late or more. Sometimes notified earthquakes show as such and other times not. It's all very confusing and severely reduces the usefulness of this app.

I downloaded this app yesterday find it very helpful and easy to use. I have already received a notification about a minor earthquake that occurred just 10km from where I am - I will travel both the North and South Island of New Zealand and it's very handy to be be informed within seconds of an earthquake occurring around my current location.

Extremely useful app especially living in Wellington. Can I please request adding “critical alert notification” so I can get a warning while it’s in silent mode or in focus mode please?

Whenever I submit a quake it just spins for minutes - end up having to close the app. If you don’t have the capacity to receive intensity reports then don’t offer it as an option.

I've been emailing them since last year, that the notifications don't work since at least 2-3 years now. Haven't gotten any reply. Tried calling since December but only go to voicemail. Terrible support.

The app is great, thank you for it. However the one thing that is annoying is that when you set alerts for quake sensitivity there is no way to save that setting so that it stays there permanently. As soon as you exit the app then return it defaults back to week. You shouldn’t have to keep the app running permanently in the background to maintain the settings as that is one more drain on batteries. If that could be fixed as far as I’m concerned the app is perfect.

I’m giving this 5 stars because it’s a good app to get information from quakes but I think needs an new facelift and give Apple Watch users app to check quakes in the area

The site, while useful and interesting could in my opinion improve by segregating the alerts it sends out to be genuine alerts/advisories and separate the routine activity of providing reports/updates and background information.
