iQuake: Earthquake Tracker
Track earthquakes worldwide in real time with live seismic data, interactive maps, and detailed analytics. Powered by the dro1d labs API, aggregating USGS, TMD, JMA and BMKG for fast, accurate global and regional coverage.
EARTHQUAKE TRACKING
• Live global earthquake feed, updated within minutes of detection
• Each quake shown in both UTC and its own local time
• Interactive map: standard, hybrid or 3D globe
• Detailed earthquake reports and one-tap sharing
VISUALISE & ANALYSE [Premium]
• Interactive 3D globe with seismic depth
• Tectonic plate and active fault overlays
• Tsunami risk-zone and shallow-depth filtering
• Depth cross-sections and fault analysis
• Historical trends, activity insights and anomaly detection
• Heatmaps and magnitude charts

INSTANT ALERTS [Premium]
• Real-time push the moment a significant quake is detected - no waiting
• Custom alerts by magnitude and distance from you
• Significant-quake alerts for the regions you choose
