QuakeFeed Earthquake Tracker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Excellent but missing an important Network.This is a great app and I’ve subscribed for the past couple of years and find the data really good, with quick notifications from active areas. However, the app is missing an important network, where seismic activity isn’t covered by USGS Network and that’s JMA (Japan Meteorological Association) which covers Earthquake and Seismic activities. For example. There have been several earthquakes/seismic activity above 3.0 in and around Japan but IS NOT shown by the USGS. The developers really need to incorporate this Official Body, in which there is a free app in the App Store that covers everything and to be honest, I thought a subscription would open up more options in this app. Maybe, an update in the very near future could be implemented please? Until, an incomplete app only gets 3 Stars..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Must be American only quakesI was going to use this app to see how Iceland is doing and it doesn't show any activity while other tracking resources show over 30 earthquakes in the last 24hours..Version: 6.3.5
✓ Where's the NZ quakes?No Earthquakes in New Zealand? From someone who lives in Christchurch, NZ I can tell you that's a load of bull.....Version: 1.1
✓ No Australian events recordedWednesday 24 th January a 4.2 quake officially recorded by Australian authorities at Coffs Harbour , New South Wales , Australia but you have not either received this information or included it in your reporting . I have had this app for quiet a while and can’t remember ever seeing Australian data included.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Gained some, lost someThis has been my go-to app for quake information. It has information that other apps don’t and the UI has been great. The last update improved the look of the base map, but in the process the data display suffered. The markers are badly washed out. The magnitude numbers are clear on yellow making them very difficult to read. They’re a little easier to read on the red markers, but a standard black color font would be a major improvement. Prior to the update, I was able to tap on a fault line and the name of the fault was displayed. Now there is nothing. I look forward to having these features back the way they were. Keep up the great work!.Version: 5.0
✓ CrashesUnusable. Was great but now just crashes constantly..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Good app, but slow to report quakesNice app, maps, good bells and whistles with configurable alerts, rate, depth, location. However, surprisingly SLOW to report earthquakes. Alert received around 20 minutes after earthquake happened. What's the hold up?.Version: 4.1
✓ ChristchurchOne out of 20. Never lists earthquakes in newzealand or any close to us the slowest of the 5 apps I have loaded. Not worth the effort and time..Version: 1.1
✓ Open Map To settingI have been using this app for about a year and it has been very useful. The latest release seems to have dropped the option to open map to “last location”, which makes it very annoying if I’m not interested in the “Ring of Fire” or even “my current location”. If I want to monitor what’s happening in some area in the Caribbean (and I am not there), i’d like to zoom into into it and be able to go back the next time I open the app. This used to work, but doesn’t anymore! In addition, I just noticed that the map view doesn’t show a landscape view when you rotate the phone. I remember being able to rotate the phone and take nice screenshots..Version: 5.0
✓ MapThe map used by the previous version was much better. Gave places etc not just terrain.Version: 5.0
✓ Not seeing earthquakes that are happeningMy family keeps having to tell me about earthquakes in Colombia that never even show up on this app. Not sure if I have the wrong setting but nothing shows..Version: 6.3.2
✓ Change isn’t always goodIt’s sad when something good gradually deteriorates over time. But it’s infuriating when somebody takes something good and mucks it up for you and that’s what has happened here. I used to sing the praises of this app but now I find myself looking at alternatives. So what don’t I like? Pretty much all of it but especially the graphics, the haptic feedback I can’t turn off, the font, THE INTRUSIVE ADDS. And since you’ve gone to such great lengths to make it this way I’m certainly not about to pay for it only to find it’s just the same..Version: 5.0.2
✓ No longer worksThis app used to be ok, in that it showed earthquakes all over, even though it was difficult to set it to up for specific areas. However, as of the last update, it doesn’t work at all - it crashes literally seconds after I open the app. I tried it days apart and still doing the same thing..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Pretty useless5.0 earthquake nearby and no alert and no record of it guess the app dosent know where nz is lol.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Constantly crashesIt crashed on the last 3 iphones i had when no one could help me with the phone the o ly solution to them was buy a new so i did the most recent version and after all the trouble and misery of setting up the new device and at first with this beong the only downloaded application the ensure there would be no software conflict it still does the same thing crash and no one can tell me why when i got to the most recent version of the phone and it still crashed a service reprisentative had the nerve to tell me to buy a newer phone but there is not a newer version and 1.1 million die in china over the effects/pollution of making any " smart phone " among other products like those awful bluetooth speakers that sound like an old stereo from the 1970's.Version: 4.1
✓ Quakefeed is good but it could be greatQuakefeed is a really good app to get notification about earthquakes. However it could be made great by adding some features as changes, which could help with management and preparation of earthquakes. The features include: adding a more information to the map about tsunamis even possibly having a separate information tab to keep you updated on the active of the tsunami. Having a more simplistic layout (earthquake feed first man tab, map with both tsunamis and quakes. And the third separated for tsunamis. And setting on the last tab) Also possible the most important is adding volcanoes to the map..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Used to be reliableNow a complete garbage app ! Does not update for Canada, or that is my experience. Ive changed and played with multiple settings and nadda. Definitely wouldn’t be shelling out any coin for this app..Version: 5.5
✓ What’s the point?This app doesn’t tell you about an earthquake until 20 minutes after it happens..Version: 6.0
✓ KISSI have used QuakeFeed for ages and have loved it, however, all the new changes- ie: night/day, globe view, flags, etc, make it “fancy” not function. I know you have worked hard to improve it but these IMO are NOT improvements. I can no longer look at the map (now globe) and view the Ring of Fire- as the mobile view of the globe is far too small! The night view makes it very difficult to see actual locations thru all the dark & “city lights”… Sometimes SIMPLE is best! I have tried to get used to these changes, which are worsened by the space taken up at the bottom by Ads (which I understand but the map view is a bad place for them!), but unfortunately I just can’t! Perhaps following the KISS principal would help return this app to it’s former glory- at least in the case of mobile phone use! TY- from an honest oldie(!)….Version: 6.3.2
✓ Max QuakeI set for 6 or more but keep getting 5’s?.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Slow and not comprehensiveLots of earthquake dont get mentioned in this app and 2 hours delay make the news unworthy.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Was Better BeforeThis app is good. However, as with most apps, since it has been updated, its recent updates have not improved the experience. Its main problem is that its notifications do not appear sometimes. One has to turn them of and on before they begin to work again and after a while it stops working again. Altogether a good app..Version: 4.1.3
✓ What about NZ?App is good but is missing the quakes happening in nz. Not accurate enough for my location. What other parts of the world are missing?.Version: 1.1
✓ Irritating Ad CLUTTER!I used to really like Quakefeed as a quick, reliable emergency alert source for quake information & notifications (does that well still), but they've more recently decided to add ANNOYING popup, full-page advertisements that blocks access to critical features and setting options -- even putting up an "open" option that is masking a hyperlink to the stupid ad's company page. It then forces you to SHUTDOWN the app and RE-START it to get the info or settings you originally wanted to use...oh, and CLOSE the IRRITATING hyperlinked ad page popping up on our browsers, too! Just wholly engineered DETOUR programming! Maybe it is a way to get us app users to buy the "upgrade" to their AD-FREE "Premium App Service," but pulling this kind of online BOTTLE-NECKING of its emergency information is NOT an effective way to convince us CONSUMERS for their premium app! Tsk, tsk....Version: 5.0.3
✓ Wildfire update doesn’t work.I’ve used the earthquake app for a while and it’s great. I wanted to add the wildfires because I’m a Californian and we are having a problem with that. The instructions given to me by the app developer did not work. I was told to go to a link that’s not there and I wasn’t given a return email address so that I could communicate with them. This is probably an easy problem to fix but it’s too difficult to get customer service. I’ve looked all through the purchase page as I deleted the app and re-purchased it but it still didn’t work. I couldn’t find anything there that allowed me to contact the company..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Not for KiwisDoes not provide sufficient information on NZ quakes. No GNS feeds. Good thing about it is the wrap-around maps allowing it to centre on ring of fire (feature most other quake apps miss, as issue with iOS GoogleMaps interface).Version: 1.1
✓ Newest Version ProblematicI’ve had QuakeFeed for many years. I’ve been as enthused as many reviewers until the very recent upgrade. Now I have to verify my premium membership every single time I go in, and often the map will just disappear. Can’t get it back. It seems to be when I’ve been examining the details of one quake and trying to return to the whole map. This is a new iPad but I’ve had to reboot to get the app to work again. I’m done. No doubt these are bugs they will eventually fix, but in the meantime there are now other ways to get the data without all the frustration and the big jump in price. It used to be a great app and would have been worth the price jump. But not this version..Version: 5.0
✓ Not liking the changesI found this app really helpful previously but since the changes a month or so ago I can’t find my way round. If it weren’t broke why fix it.Version: 5.0.2
✓ AdsThe new version has so many ads when you’re trying to see info about the quakes. Also way too much white in the new layout. A good app, but the ‘updates’ visually we’re not an improvement In my view..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Fantastic App.I have been using this app. for years and have not been disappointed. I love science and this app. lets me gather information about the movement of the earth's plates. To see how the movement of one plate will effect another. I believe you will find this app. very helpful and if you have children a great resource. Love how you can set features to your own level of notifications. How you can sort through all the quakes by intensity and change back and forth between the list and the map. Update! I hate the map now. Hard to read and the list is too big. Now only a few visible on the screen at one time. Too much scrolling. Looks too cartoon like. The colors are awful. Very disappointed for me, not an improvement. Was easy to look at the map and know what’s was going on but not now. Not going to recommend it to anyone any more. Not all “Changes are improvements”..Version: 6.3.2
✓ UpticksDoes not work as good after updating app can’t find map settings also don’t send after setting alerts.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Adverts intrusive. Opens browser when trying to open resultsYou can't use the app without giving permission to indefinitely send your location. Privacy issues. No ability to set your location without giving permission. Ads intrusive & add to privacy concerns when combined with location issue above. Not worth paying the ANNUAL FEE for getting rid of ads..Version: 4.1
✓ Keeps crashing after latest updateUsed to work fine but after the latest update keeps crashing on opening. Please fix?.Version: 4.1.2
✓ QuakeFeed a “resounding” hit!I’ve only used QuakeFeed a month or so but I’ve already seen how easily and time it reports earthquakes around the world..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Nothing for NZTypical ESRI product, all glitz and no substance. Rubbish..Version: 1.1
✓ Doesn’t record quakes in my area, took off New Madrid FaultBloomfield, Missouri just had a 4.3 earthquake (actually 2 simultaneously but does not register on the map. The only proof I have is the notifications that popped up on my locked Screen. When I went to the map to view where Bloomfield Missouri is, there’s no record of them. When I first downloaded the map a couple years ago there was evidence of New Madrid Fault. As of a few months ago, New Madrid Fault is non-exsistant. I emailed them to ask why it’s no longer on the map and he said because my settings were not set right. But they are set right. It makes me wonder what is the USGS hiding..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Aussies BEWARE! Lack of earthquakes NO FIRES REPORTSAussies avoid this app. Does not support many quakes in OZ and nothing on fires. Wish I knew this before I paid for 12 months subscription.Version: 6.3.2
✓ Lacks effective and timely notificationsWhile the information it provides is indeed accurate, the app's reliability as an emergency notification system is highly questionable. The main issue with this app is its inconsistency in delivering timely notifications. This unreliability can be detrimental during critical situations when every second counts. On the positive side, when Emergency Alert does manage to send notifications, the information provided is accurate and helpful. Additionally, the user interface is clean and easy to navigate. However, these positives are overshadowed by the app's unreliability in delivering notifications. In emergency situations, users need a dependable system that they can rely on without any doubts. Unfortunately, Emergency Alert fails to meet this crucial requirement. In conclusion, while Emergency Alert provides accurate information during emergencies, its unreliability as an emergency notification system severely impacts its usefulness. Until the app addresses its notification delivery issues, it cannot be relied upon as a reliable emergency alert app. To developer: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for your response..Version: 6.3
✓ After update crashesWon’t start on IPAD Pro or series 4 since update..Version: 4.1.2
✓ QuakesGreat for a free app.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Good BUTWould like a one off payment. But done. So. That’s my issue, I don’t subscribe..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Subscription update poorWow gone from good to ok to poor, everything that made it easy to use and intuitive has now gone. The reason is they’ve introduced a higher paid subscription, so if you want to use it like it used to be you’ll have to pay more!.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Not as good as it wasBeen using this for years and was very happy with it. Now has intrusive adverts and only an annual subscription to get rid of them. Such a shame. If you’re willing to pay a fee every year to use it, you’ll enjoy it, but I’m disappointed in the latest “progress”..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Over PricedSubscription was $1.49 for a year, now it’s gone up to $7.99. No reason, no explanation. Apple should NOT allow massive increases in prices like this. Not happy Apple!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Quake feedGood around the US and Japan area. Nothing for NZ region though..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Doesn't load notification settingsI downloaded this app and configured my alerts only to receive an alert for Mexico not even five minutes later. I don't live near Mexico and it was not a part of my alert settings that I configured. When I went back in to change the notification settings I received multiple errors saying the app couldn't connect to the notification server. I tried multiple times and when I did finally get in there was a new notification configured that I didn't set up. When I tried to delete it it said the same thing about not being able to connect to the notification server. The ads were unexpected to just show up after I clicked on something and pretty annoying to have to wait five seconds to get to what I clicked on. One extra star because I could limit my notification to only the state I live in. But ultimately this app doesn't work. And maybe given more than 10 minutes this app would work, but I had it set up and something happened to make it not work..Version: 4.1
✓ Version 5 ...... not happyDescription panel on left hand side should have been left as it was.....font too big and takes up too much map area.Version: 5.0
✓ Does an okay jobNot sure if it is my location or if it is not the app, but depending where you live it has a 50/50 chance to warn you of an earthquake or other land disaster... where I live there’s been several times an earthquake but it is not shown in the system. I have no way to tell how strong the quakes are but have been watching the cracks looking like it is breathing when there is a quake and its aftermath. Last time there was a big one it had to be 4.0 to show up in the system, that means that the Madrid line is being active in my area... anything less than 4 will not show so there’s no way to tell when a bigger one comes until it is too late..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Latest update is disastrousThis used to be a great app but they’ve changed all sorts of things, none of which constitute improvement. There’s far less flexibility now. I’m going to a different earthquake app.Version: 5.0
✓ Only American, not North American, no CanadaWhy are there no updates for Canada on wildfires?.Version: 5.4
✓ Good but troublesome at timesThe app conceptually is great but it keeps on automatically changing your settings. I’ve tried to maintain a “ring of fire” area of interest but after 3 or 4 times it reverts back to either global or Asia Pacific. Good thing it’s free as I would not buy it..Version: 4.1.5
✓ Update is badNew interface in App update is terrible. Please bring back the old one..Version: 5.0
