User Reviews

Users generally value MyShake for its early warnings and safety benefits, with reports of alerts arriving seconds before shaking. However, recurring issues include false/distant alerts, lack of threshold controls, overly loud alarms, inconsistent reliability across devices, and inaccuracies in local event data. These concerns limit trust and usefulness, indicating a need for improved accuracy, configurability, and notification management.
Pros
  • Provides early warnings with seconds of lead time before shaking
  • Can be life-saving by giving time to take protective actions
  • Free to use, a readily available safety tool
  • Particularly useful in earthquake-prone regions (e.g., California)
Cons
  • Frequent false or distant alerts that wake users unnecessarily
  • No user controls to set minimum magnitude or alert sensitivity
  • Alerts can be very loud and disruptive, waking users in the middle of the night
  • Reliability is inconsistent across devices; some users don’t receive alerts
  • Inaccurate local information (epicenter/distance) or non-local alerts

This app works. It warned me multiple times when an earthquake was about to happen in California.

Hoy tembló en san Leandro 3.8 y yo tengo configurada el app para alertas desde temblores de 2.5 grados en adelante y la app no emitió ninguna alerta.
