About this app

Earthquake Network is the most comprehensive app on earthquakes and for most countries of the world it is the only earthquake early warning system able to alert you before the seismic waves. More details about the research project at https://www.sismo.app

Main features:

- Earthquake early warnings
- User's reports on felt earthquakes
- Earthquake data from national and international seismic networks starting from magnitude 0.0
- Earthquake notifications through voice synthesizer (only PRO version)

The Earthquake Network research project develops a smartphone-based earthquake early warning system able to detect earthquakes in real time and to alert the population in advance. Smartphones are able to detect earthquakes thanks to the accelerometer on-board each device. When an earthquake is detected, users with the application installed are immediatly alerted. Since earthquake waves travel at a finite speed (from 5 to 10 km/s) it is possible to alert the population not yet reached by the damaging waves of the earthquake. For the scientific details about the project please refer to the Frontiers scientific journal at https://bit.ly/2C8B5HI

Note that the information on earthquakes detected by national and international seismic networks is usually published with a delay ranging from a few minutes to many hours, depending on the seismic network.

Ratings and reviews

Not easy to use for those of us "old folks" that aren't tech savvy. I just wanted to get instant alerts of quakes for my area only. I don't wish to have my phone tracked all the time, so I wanted to leave "location" turned off but still get notifications for my zipcode. Seems pretty simple to me. But I can't even ask a question on this app. Need to simplify further for those of us that don't play with computers all day.

not pretty but it has a bunch of selections to choose from, you can manage your warnings, how close do they have to be to set off your alarm, tsunami warnings, an update page, you can look at the world as a whole or watch how far one earthquake traveled, chat in multiple languages, you can report the ones that you felt to share the intensity with other users, it isn't pretty but it's pretty damn good

Works well once configured. Even better with a subscription service and pro version. Try the free version First like I did learn about the program and test it out. I decided to switch over from learning about it to using it. This was because of an earthquake I was informed about as what's happening at the afterwards and not before. But the idea was there and the timing was great I wanted a better time response and this comes with the paid version. Very awesome and satisfied. California USA
