Earthquakes 3.0 is our biggest update yet: a brand-new Tools tab, geology on every map, and a fresh new icon. • New Tools tab, with Fault Map, Historical Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Orogens, Nuclear Power Plants, Magnitude Comparator, Rupture Size, Intensity Scale, Shake Simulator, Home Safety Check, and Statistics. • Fault Map shows the active faults in your country and how far the nearest mapped fault is from you. • Historical Earthquakes: more than 2,400 great earthquakes from 2150 BC to today. • Maps now color plate boundaries by type and name the plates. Orogens, volcanoes, and nuclear power plants can be turned on as layers — on the earthquake details map too. • Earthquake details show the nearest nuclear power plant within 300 km. • No more empty list: when the last 24 hours were quiet, the list widens to 7 days, 30 days, or the whole world. • New languages: Greek and Chinese (Traditional). • More local earthquakes in Europe and the Mediterranean: Greece, Italy, Romania, Croatia, Albania, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, and Iceland now use EMSC data automatically. • Earthquake notification titles are now in your language. • A new app icon, plus improvements and bug fixes.
Earthquakes shows the latest earthquakes around the world the moment they are reported — with official data from the USGS, the EMSC and Türkiye's AFAD. Whether you live near a fault line, have loved ones in a quake-prone area, or simply want to stay informed, Earthquakes keeps you a step ahead with real-time data, clear maps, and timely alerts — and now a whole toolbox for understanding earthquakes. KEY FEATURES • Real-time worldwide list from the USGS, EMSC and AFAD. Your country is detected automatically on launch. • Smart alerts: get notified when an earthquake passes the magnitude you choose. • Near Me: earthquakes around your location, sorted by distance, with an adjustable radius. • Powerful filters by country, magnitude, and time. If the last 24 hours were quiet, the list widens on its own. • Full details for every event: magnitude, depth, exact time, an interactive map, ShakeMap shaking, felt reports, and PAGER impact. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and earthquake cards you can share in seconds. • Works offline — earthquakes you have loaded stay available without a connection. NEW: TOOLS • Fault Map: the active faults in your country, and how far the nearest mapped fault is from you. • Historical Earthquakes: more than 2,400 great earthquakes from 2150 BC to today, with deaths, damage, and tsunamis. • Volcanoes, Orogens, and Nuclear Power Plants maps, each opening on your country. • Magnitude Comparator: see why an M7 releases about 32 times the energy of an M6. • Rupture Size: how long a fault breaks in an earthquake, drawn to scale over your own city. • Intensity Scale and Shake Simulator: what each level of shaking feels like — and feel it through your phone. • Home Safety Check, Be Prepared, Emergency Mode (whistle and flashing light), and I'm Safe. • Statistics: charts for the earthquakes in your list. GEOLOGY ON EVERY MAP • Fault lines, plate boundaries colored by type (convergent, divergent, transform), and plate names. • Orogens, volcanoes, and nuclear power plants as layers — on the earthquake details map too. FOR EVERYONE • 26 languages with an in-app language switcher. • Light, dark, and system themes. • A clean, modern, distraction-free design. PRIVATE & FREE • Completely free to download and use. • No sign-up or account required. • Location is used only for Near Me and distances, and only if you allow it. Earthquake data: USGS, EMSC and AFAD. Faults: GEM. Volcanoes and historical earthquakes: NOAA. Please note: alerts arrive after an earthquake has been reported by the agencies — this is not an early-warning system. This app is an informational tool and not a substitute for official emergency alerts.
