Review summary

Earthquake Monitor is broadly praised for fast, reliable notifications, strong customization of alerts (distance, magnitude, tsunami, and sounds), and rich maps and lists that cover global quakes. It offers a free-to-use experience with valuable features for tracking quakes worldwide. Notable downsides mentioned by reviewers include concerns about ads and privacy, and occasional irrelevant or broad alerts that can overwhelm or annoy users.

Pros

Fast, reliable earthquake notifications.
Highly customizable alert system (distance radius, magnitude thresholds, location-based alerts, tsunami capability, sound customization).
Rich data visualization and lists (maps with satellite and graphic views, distance/bearing from your location, and a last-24-hours quake list with a magnitude filter).
Free to use with affordable updates and incentives, delivering good value.
Global accuracy and useful reporting features for tracking earthquakes around the world.

Cons

Alerts can be non-local or overly broad, causing alert overload when near-me settings are used.
In-app purchases to remove ads are not always available as advertised.
Privacy concerns regarding ad integration with Google and data sharing; users seek transparency and opt-out options.

2024-12-06	Fo*****	I am an amateur with strong interest in plate tectonic, quakes, and volcanology. This app is an excellent. Map (both satellite and graphic views) is excellent and easy to use. No frills—just cleanly displayed and immediate info.

2019-03-02	ip*****	App listing says there is an IAP to remove the ads for $1.99, but in the app it says "no longer available". Very unethical, and deleted.

2018-09-29	in*****	I live in Yuma, AZ. M 4.2 - 9km NNW of Delta, B.C., MX 2018-09-29 02:17:48 UTC 32.423°N 115.238°W 11.7 km depth I felt this earthquake tonight and this App reported the earthquake 3 minutes later. You are not going to get any fast response than that. This app has a very special feature that allows me to set the area where my daughter lives and know if there is an earthquake there long before there is any notification on the news or on the internet.

2018-04-06	Go*****	Good App works pretty well but today there was a 5.3 Earthquake in Southern California ( date: 04-05-2018). It seemed the update was a bit slow but the 5.3 did show up on the page of daily Earthquakes. I’m not sure why the update was so slow. Also would you consider doing an Android version of this app if possible.

2016-09-05	To*****	I set it to "alert quakes stronger than mag 6" and "limit to near my location". HOWEVER, it keeps bothering me of mag 4 quakes in Puerto Rico. I'm in Hawaii, so that's about 6,000 miles away, almost halfway around the world!
