This is a nice app but what it really needs is the ability to utilize the iPhone accelerometer to detect earthquakes and automatically share that data to the cloud and or the USGS Only when enough similar readings are detected from a certain region within a narrow timeframe would the data be considered legitimate and then be pushed back out to the map for all users to view The app could also be active only at certain times of the day night that the user defines As well as only be active when connected to pre defined wifi networks Such as Home or work Another option would be to only take accelerometer reading when it is plugged into power such as when on your night stand or connected to a computer USB The app could also use the iPhone GPS to disable sensor reading when moving As well as only record seismic data when the app detects the iPhone is laying flat on its back Another option would be to disable the seismic sensor data output when a face is detected with the front facing camera Requiring the app to be running in the foreground would also further prevent false readings This could easily quickly and cheaply create a huge network of seismographs around the world         Add this feature please TheGadgetinator

They quickly fixed their last flawed update Also they were very quick to respond to the email I sent them about the problem So kudos to them There still seems to be a minor bug with the map re loading itself twice but I can live with it But that is why it got four stars and not five                 Fixed UnkaMunka

Another lousy asian app that does NOTHING but blink and crash     iDung LosAngeles90631

This is a great app for anyone interested in plate tectonics seismic activity etc I lived in Fiji for 3 years and would love to monitor seismic activity in that part of the world For some reason if you scroll the earth clockwise or counterclockwise as far as it will go the Pacific region of which Fiji is a part is not accessible or partially accessible at best                     Love this app wish Fiji was more accessible Mr. Luigi

First word I uttered when I opened the app Really shows just how tectonically active the earth is on a daily basis Great for earth science class                     Wow fullbird06

The only thing it s missing is the ability to scroll the map far enough to see the entire Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean It has the potential to be a powerful image for students to see as it is one of the more consistently active parts of the world for earthquakes and volcanoes             Fun to see but Coug48fan

From Raleigh NC some felt tremors others didn t I decided to check my iQuake app and could tell others in office about the 5 8 in VA in minutes                     First to know about virginia quake scmRaleigh

I love this app I would just like to know one thing do you guys use the ESRI software for your maps and symbols                     Amazing bigjonasfan

The new version crashes immediately on launch on the iPad under iOS 3 2     Crashes KC2PED

Really very good the udpate is very fast much better than other pay apps Good job                     Very good Xavier Salvador

I don t need this app for anything not a scientist nor do I live anywhere where earthquakes are common but I find it very interesting And it s free so I don t get the low ratings I haven t had any crashes or bugginess It s a very cool map with good presentation of information for the average person If you re not the average person then don t get the one called lite Everyone else enjoy                     Really cool CC in NC

Just downloaded it and used it App is clean and simple but I wish the world map was split down the middle of the Atlantic so the entire pacific could be seen at once That s where most of the earthquakes are Also it would be nice to be able to set the minimum earthquake intensity that s displayed                 Clean and simple jeaux b

I found this app very useful uploading it soon after feeling the earthquake here in Southern California on April 4 You can use a list of the latest earthquakes to get information not detailed but good enough or tap on the map Both are useful The database from which they pull the data is very good I believe the USGS and it s kind of cool to look at earthquakes across the world Of course most earthquakes are not related to each other but you can see local swarms For example the April 4 earthquake in Baja California is still sending out several aftershocks per hour so you get a huge splotch on the map This is the lite version so I m assuming that the full version will be more fun I d like to see earthquake depths and longer history I m not sure how far back the data base goes which is easily accessible Anyways for those of us on the West Coast it s a very useful tool Once the iPad store is open worldwide I m sure people in other areas of the world will buy it We used to have office pools on the Magnitudes of earthquakes this will make paying off much better yes after a few hundred earthquakes in my life including quite destructive ones but most Californians have a callous attitude towards them                     Useful app for those of us in earthquake areas LeftCoastMan
