About EQInfo - Global Earthquakes
EQInfo shows earthquake information world-wide. Information can be filtered by region, magnitude and agency. It provides system notifications, social media sharing.
EQInfo was conceived and implemented by the expert developers of SeisComP3, http://www.gempa.de, a software platform used by most geophysical institutes in the world to automatically detect and locate earthquakes.
EQInfo integrates seamlessly with your Raspberry Shake personal seismograph, http://raspberryshake.org, to bring you up-to-the-minute earthquake announcements including waveform snippets from your very own Raspberry Shake. In doing so, EQInfo exploits the largest IoT citizen-scientist earthquake detection network in the world to bring you high fidelity earthquake information, http://raspberryshake.net/stationview/.
Following features are supported:
1. List of latest earthquakes showing magnitude, region, time ago, direction/distance to the earthquake epicenter and detecting agency
2. Earthquake details including overview map
3. Map of latest earthquakes
3. Define multiple filters for the earthquake information, filter by magnitude, depth, time and region
4. Configuration of data sources, update intervals, geolocation and unit of measurement
5. Background updates and notifications
6. Sharing of event information
7. Display earthquake waveforms from the Raspberry Shake network
8. Page through solutions of different agencies
The following Agencies provide information to EQInfo:
- GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, http://geofon.gfz-potsdam.de
- European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), http://www.emsc-csem.org
- United States Geological Survey (USGS), http://www.usgs.gov
- Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG), http://inatews.bmkg.go.id
- Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), http://earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca
- Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN), http://www.ign.es
- National Observatory of Athens (NOA, Greece), http://www.noa.gr
- Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI, Turkey), http://www.koeri.boun.edu.tr
- GNS Science New Zealand, http://www.gns.cri.nz
A priority list for the agencies can be defined, taking care of the aggregation of information.
EQInfo tries to minimize both the data volume and update time. If supported, your filter criteria is summited to the agency for server-side filtering. Also the most compact data format is selected for transmission. Using this approach the amount of data transfered is 5-10 times smaller than fetching an RSS feed. Often the earthquake list of one agency is transfered in not more than 2KB.

I'd give it 5 stars, but there is a bug that prevents proper viewing of my personal seismograph data for epicenters less than 20 miles. For instance, a distance of 23 miles correctly has a delay of 6 seconds, but a distance of 18 miles has a delay of over 17 minutes! 5-21. After an update the above issue appeared to be resolved. I could get images from my raspberry shake for quakes less than 20 miles. However, now I can't get any rshake data for any quakes! Even after rebooting phone. It throws up a timer icon like it's getting data, but nothing ever shows, even for events that had previously displayed properly. Can't see real-time data either.

None other! Location, immediate, multiple sources, and a toggle between all quakes and the parameters you set. Volcanoes would be a nice addition. But this *is the best EQ app out there*.

I can't filter for just my state. I could care less what goes on outside my state and I sure don't care to be notified about every earthquake all over the entire planet. Uninstalling

Only missing (1) the feature to define several filters and (2) some EQ news. Also: defining lat/lon is stupid - JUST (meaning ONLY) use a distance filter (preferably in km units which is more intuitive)!

... but not perfect. Though it could be with a little TLC. I tried several other similar apps and this is the one I liked best. I like the color coding for earthquake depths. I also like the ability to link to the earthquake monitoring source websites. I would like to see at least these 4 improvements to the app: 1) allow switching between satellite and street views directly from the map. Going through the menu is just too klunky and old-fashioned. 2) offer more monitoring sources. the app is definitely missing some activities other earthquake apps found. 3) display distance from the user to the activity in the info panel on the map, not just on the earthquake list. 4) provide some sort of legend or color code for magnitude. right now, the color coding in the list is for date. that can be handled another way, like with a divider. 5) allow for a historical time frame that goes back farther. 7 days is just not long enough. 14 days should be possible. maybe even 30 days - though it would make a long list. what would be very useful is to filter by date range and region.

One of the best if not the best. I really like the datasources that can be utilized. Very easy to set up and use. Highly recommend.

App still doesn't update in background. This is still the case. I have it set for thirty minutes. 7-16-2012. No service appears to launch, useless. A one because of this since this type of app should update in background.

I like a lot about this app, and I would like to give 5 stars, but the settings don't work. I don't want notifications to show in the notification's box and I have all the settings unchecked for that, but I still get them. Also, I have the settings set to only show minimum 3 magnitude, but I'm getting all earthquakes. If these issues are fixed, I would gladly give 5 stars.

Any how it would be nice if you will get info from Icelandic earthquakes readers system too (I don't know theirs name) because of lots of earthquakes there and all of volcano there. Some of theirs volcanoes is big and have make major catastrophe in world air traffic. But you have made 5 star app her any way.

Alerts only when app is in use.
