[App] eQuake – Earthquake Alerts

eQuake is an earthquake early-warning app developed by Zizmos™.

It uses a network of seismic sensors to detect earthquakes. When an earthquake occurs, the Zizmos servers send the user an early-warning notification that alerts the user of expected shaking in the area. The ability to detect earthquakes and provide alerts is dependent on the number of sensors in the Zizmos network.

Another feature of eQuake™ is its capability to use your phone as a sensor which contributes to the Zizmos earthquake warning system improving the coverage of seismic detection. The sensor mode only works when the device is charging and connected to a Wi-Fi network.

The app provides other features that give the user useful earthquake information.

Features include:

Early detection of earthquakes and early warning of shaking expected in the area. Users in an affected area are notified that an earthquake has occurred, and shaking is expected, granting the user potentially crucial advanced warning.
A map of recent earthquakes that have occurred worldwide which uses USGS databases for the latest information.
An earthquake early-warning simulator feature. Allows the user to simulate Zizmos™ earthquake alerts on the phone using historical earthquakes in the vicinity of the current location.

eQuake user reviews :

This app is wonderful! I get notifications for the larger earthquakes around the world. It also shows me the micro-earthquakes (1.0) that other apps don’t list.

I have many friends and some family that live in earthquake risky areas. This app helps me to stay aware of their up to the second safety status.

Nice app. Configure settings to your demand. Didn’t get notified ahead of time, although i was being alerted during the earthquake with all of its information

I’m having the same problem as Gene. Getting alerts for small earthquakes over 50 miles away. Would make sense to have a filter built in that would only notify users if they are MOST likely to experience the effects of an earthquake.

Thank you for your feedback. The app is supposed to have a filter that would only notify users if you are in the influence range. I am sorry to hear that you are having a problem. Could you please send your feedback from the app so that we can check your setting? We have a built-in filter, now we should figure out why it is not working for you.

Great app. Fast notification. I get alerted by this app first, then much later by Civil Defense. Can program it, to show how close that earthquake is to me. Very useful.
