  • 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?
  • Great app

    Have had this app forever... I love how you can always see exactly how far from your hometown any quakes are occurring... The color readings make it possible at a quick glance to know how strong the quakes are.. The map of the world or just the US showing the quakes within a range that you have requested, ranging from 1.0 and on up... Excellent!
  • 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.
  • Inaccuracies.

    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.
  • Excellent!

    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!
