Zoom and spin your way around the world with this fully immersive 3D Earthquake display app. Earthquake 3D uses animated graphics to show you the "big picture" and visualize large amounts of Earthquake data quickly and easily. Go where no seismogram has gone before with a fascinating and mesmerizing look at the world's Earthquakes. - Eight different Earth display types that include population and tectonic plate maps. - Four different custom view 'presets'. - Solid and wire frame 3D views with transparent Earth ability. - A Sequencer that shows Earthquakes as they occurred using animation loops. - Control Speed, Decay, and Sound of Earthquake sequencer loops. - Includes 4000+ years of Historic Earthquake information. - Data from USGS, European EMSC, British Geological Survey, and New Zealand Geonet. - Current worldwide Volcano activity display.. - Includes DEX depth visualization. - Individual quake indicator 'flags' that show magnitude or depth. - Tap on individual indicator 'flags' to show details for each Earthquake. - Earthquake details include Local Maps, Local News, and Advanced Seismic Information. - Can import up to four external Earth images that are supplied by the user. - Uses "point and drag" to position and spin the Earth. Uses "pinching" for zoom. - Filter Earthquakes by magnitude and age with slider controls. - Earthquake angle indicators. - Automatic Refresh Timer - Retina enabled. - And much more... In addition to providing several 'live' sources of current Earthquake information, an Atlas database is also included. The Atlas database shows over 4000 years of Historic Earthquake information. This database (updated periodically) is built-in to Earthquake 3D and is available even when you are off-line. This edition of Earthquake 3D represents a third generation of this very popular computer program. Started in 2003 as a desktop application, it has become a widely adopted standard for video presentations and visualizations of Earthquake information. This latest edition brings new features and updates to this modern classic. Whether you are exploring the geo sciences, or you just want to find out if you felt that last quake, this app will keep you up to date with the latest Earthquake information.

I like this app. As far as I know it’s the only one available for iOS with these features.I would however like to suggest that the date and time countdown remain on the top right hand corner instead of disappearing when I touch the screen to move around the globe to view the seismic events. It’s a bummer that when I touch the screen the date and time countdown disappears. Please fix!!!

Not showing recent major earthquakes

I’ve used this app for years and have loved it however I’ve noticed recently that it is not showing a lot of newer earthquakes. I thought it was just a glitch and that it would fix itself will it hasn’t. We recently had an M 8.8 - at Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. This is not in the app. Also Many other large ones ranging up to 6.9 at the same location and only a few above six are shown. The 6.9 is not there. The M6.8 at Macquarie Island region is not there. A M6.5 Indonesia, not there. Many many many earthquakes are not there. I am looking at the USGS 7 day feed. I have tried loading different feeds, and they all say that the server is down and this has been going on for weeks.. I tried deleting and reloading the app. It did not work. There are no updates. I’ve tried it on three different devices. It’s the same. I’ve even tried to use the atlas which does not work by the way. It’s always blank. I don’t think this app has been updated for quite some time. Perhaps it’s time.

Disappointed with its limitations

Very limited compared to the Windows paid version. Infrequent updates, low-res maps even with a Retina display & only a few data feeds is very disappointing. Didn't expect it to have all of the Windows bells & whistles for $7, but it is closer in features to the free Windows version. Three stars only because it is still useful.

I am disappointed for a paid app. Not sure if it’s because I’m just not familiar with how to use the app or what, but they don’t even provide a link one how to use the features. The features they say the app has, I am not seeing them. I don’t see the volcano overlays, don’t see the option to import maps from other sources, can’t click on earthquake magnitudes to get details, etc. This was the whole point as to why I bought this app and I don’t have nearly half of the features I am supposed to have. Extremely disappointed.

- Added a new EMSC Feed and a new GEONET Feed - Atlas update with the latest significant Earthquakes - Improved earthquake detail pages - USGS feeds now using QuakeML
