rQuake
Earthquakes in Italy & world
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Earthquakes in Italy and worldwide from official sources, with the estimated shaking where you are, seismic sequences, the archive and faults on the map. No account.
rQuake shows the earthquakes recorded by INGV (the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) in Italy and, for the rest of the world, by the source you choose among USGS, EMSC and GFZ GEOFON, with clear, colourful graphics: in seconds you see where, when and how strongly the ground shook.
The latest event is always front and centre, with magnitude, location, depth and time. Below it you'll find the events day by day, coloured so you can tell the strength of every shock at a glance.
KEY FEATURES
• Official INGV data for Italy and, for the rest of the world, USGS, EMSC or GFZ GEOFON as you choose, refreshed automatically every two minutes
• Italy, the whole world or just the earthquakes near you, within the radius you choose
• Quick filters for minimum magnitude and period, from 24 hours to 30 days
• Search by place and sort by date, magnitude or distance
• Map of the epicentres, sized and coloured by magnitude; events from the last hour pulse
• Details for every event: local and UTC time, depth, coordinates, magnitude type, nearby events and a link to the source's official page
• INGV's HSIT macroseismic questionnaire, one tap away in Settings
• Statistics with charts: events per day, magnitude over time, distribution by class and the strongest events of the period
• Distance of each earthquake from your location
• Estimated shaking: how strongly an earthquake was likely felt where you are and at your places, on the Mercalli scale
• Seismic sequences: shocks grouped around the strongest one, with map, chart and list
• Saved places, such as home or work, each with its own radius and alerts
• Archive: great earthquakes of the past, such as L'Aquila 2009 or Central Italy 2016, and a search by area, period and magnitude
• Active faults and plate boundaries on the map
• Other sources: the same earthquake as INGV, EMSC, USGS and GFZ GEOFON located it, side by side
• Alerts for new earthquakes above the magnitude you choose, in Italy, worldwide, near you or at your places, with quiet hours and a single summary during swarms
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Latest earthquake" and "Earthquakes near me"
• Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen
• Light and dark mode, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type
PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your location, if you allow it, and your places stay on your device; to find nearby events the coordinates are sent to the data source rounded to about 1 km.
IMPORTANT
rQuake is not an early-warning system and is not an official app of any of these sources: it shows events after they have been located. In an emergency, follow the guidance of your civil protection authorities.
Data: INGV, CC BY 4.0 license; USGS, public domain; EMSC; GFZ GEOFON. Faults: GEM Global Active Faults (CC BY-SA); plates: PB2002 (Bird, 2003).
