Earthquake Monitor Live Map

Global Quake Seismic Tracker

Free · In‑App Purchases

Live quakes from USGS and EMSC, with alerts for the places you care about. No ads and no account. One Pro purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Earthquake Monitor shows you what the ground is doing, right now, anywhere in the world. The data comes from the United States Geological Survey and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the same networks geologists and emergency services work from. WATCH THE PLACES THAT MATTER Save a location, choose a radius and a minimum magnitude, and every new earthquake is checked against it. When something crosses your threshold, you get a notification, including while the app is closed. Quakes at or above your critical magnitude arrive as Time Sensitive, so they cut through Focus modes and quiet hours. Everything below that threshold comes through quietly. You can set quiet hours of your own and still let the serious ones in. Your location is read once, when you place an alert. It stays on the device. No account, no sign-up, no server holding your data. SEE EVERYTHING • A world map that stays smooth with thousands of events on it. Events group into clusters as you zoom out and split apart as you zoom in, and tapping a cluster tells you exactly what is inside it. Colour follows magnitude, so a glance is enough. • The full list, with magnitude, depth, distance from you, local time and the USGS event page one tap away. Copy the details or share an event without leaving the screen. • Filter by timeframe and by magnitude, search by place, and bookmark anything worth keeping. • Statistics that go past the headline number: magnitude distribution, depth profile and how activity moved over the period you are looking at. • USGS and EMSC side by side, so you can see where the two networks disagree on the same quake and by how much. LEARN Plain explanations of magnitude scales, depth zones, seismic wave types and the major tectonic plates, written for people who are curious rather than qualified. There is also a browsable catalogue of the largest earthquakes since 1900, with what each one changed about how we build and warn. WHAT IS FREE The live map, the full event view, the complete list, the last hour and the last 24 hours, and one watched location with alerts. Most apps in this category lock the map or the details behind a purchase. This one does not. WHAT PRO ADDS • Unlimited watched locations • Seven days of history and the significant-quake feed • Statistics and analytics • EMSC alongside USGS, with side-by-side source comparison • Magnitude filtering in 0.5 steps instead of three fixed thresholds • Automatic refresh while the app is open THIRTEEN LANGUAGES English, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Turkish, Simplified Chinese and more. A NOTE ON SAFETY Earthquake Monitor is not an official warning or early-warning system. Data from USGS and EMSC is generated automatically and can be preliminary, delayed, revised or incomplete. Alerts are sent after an earthquake has already been recorded, and delivery is best effort: a notification can arrive late, or not at all. Never use this app for life-safety decisions. Always follow your local emergency management authority. Terms of use: apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula

A faster map, alerts you can trust, and the app in your language. - Now in thirteen languages, including German, Greek, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Turkish and Simplified Chinese. - The map is quick again. Thousands of events cluster smoothly, and panning and zooming stay responsive even on a week of global data. - Time Sensitive alerts. Quakes at or above your critical magnitude break through Focus and quiet hours. Everything below arrives as a normal notification. - A guided first run. Pick a place, set a radius and a magnitude, and you are watching in under a minute. - More is free. The map, the full event view and the list are open to everyone, and every place you watch is checked even while the app is closed. - Pro, rebuilt. Unlimited watched locations, seven days of history, statistics, EMSC alongside USGS, and finer magnitude steps.
