Description:

QuakeWatch is a highly-regarded earthquake app that has maintained its status as the top paid app in its category for over a decade. It has gained recognition around the world, being ranked as the #1 news app in 60 countries including the US, UK, and Canada. Furthermore, it has achieved a spot in the App Store Top 100 in 40 countries, with notable mentions from respected media outlets such as USA Today and CNN Newsroom.

Designed to cater to the diverse needs of users, QuakeWatch has become a trusted tool for educational institutions, relief agencies, media organizations, and countless individuals who wish to stay informed about earthquakes in their vicinity or those affecting their loved ones. This feature-rich app provides an ad-free experience and serves as a comprehensive reference guide for the latest earthquakes with magnitudes of 1.0 and higher worldwide. It consolidates data from ten reputable sources, including the US Geological Survey and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, offering detailed information on when and where earthquakes occur and their respective magnitudes.

One of QuakeWatch's standout features is its interactive world map view, which showcases reported earthquakes over the past week and encompasses tectonic plates for reference. The map can be freely panned and zoomed to focus on areas of interest, allowing users to access quake reports with a single click. Additionally, users have the ability to replay earthquake events in chronological order.

The app also offers various sorting options to streamline earthquake exploration. Users can sort earthquakes by recency, focusing on the most recent seismic events or examine the largest earthquakes that have occurred within the previous week. Moreover, QuakeWatch enables users to prioritize earthquakes based on proximity to their current location or seek earthquakes near specific places worldwide – an invaluable feature for tracking seismic activity near friends and family.

QuakeWatch provides reporting services from a wide range of regions, including the US, Europe, Canada, Mexico, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Iceland, and Italy. This comprehensive coverage ensures users have access to the information they need regardless of their location.

In addition to earthquake data, the app features a dedicated tsunami icon in the toolbar providing quick, easy access to the latest tsunami updates for the Pacific, US West Coast & Alaska, Australia, and Japan.

QuakeWatch offers seamless sharing capabilities, allowing users to disseminate earthquake information through email, Twitter, Facebook, or SMS text messaging. This functionality enhances communication and aids in keeping others informed during potentially critical situations.

To enhance user experience further, the app includes customization options that enable users to filter out earthquakes below a certain magnitude. By setting a minimum threshold between 1.0 and 6.0 on the Richter scale, users can focus only on earthquakes that meet their specific criteria.

For detailed information about a specific earthquake, users can select an event from the list to access additional details and view its location on a live map. By clicking the integrated blue 'additional details' button, users are seamlessly redirected to the reporting website where they can access supplementary information such as distance from cities, historical maps, shake maps, and more. With an effortless return function integrated into the app, users can easily navigate back to the earthquake list.

Catering to various devices, QuakeWatch is a universal app that supports all iOS devices including iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Furthermore, iPad users utilizing iOS 10 or newer can benefit from quick view multitasking functionalities.

For greater precision in earthquake tracking, iPod touch and iPad WiFi users have the option to manually specify their current location.

To facilitate localized monitoring for users in particular regions or areas of interest, QuakeWatch offers features that allow users to define local earthquakes within their desired radius. The app then presents these localized earthquakes based on proximity or recency, coloring recent earthquakes within the previous two hours blue for quick identification.

Lastly, QuakeWatch takes into account the convenience of users by displaying all times in their respective time zones. Additionally, the app does not incorporate banner ads, ensuring an uninterrupted user experience.
