MyShake Earthquake Alerts

Literally, had an earthquake less than a 2 miles away & this app recorded nothing. Not a surprise. Just time to delete this app.

I went on a Caribbean cruise and in the middle of the night we were awakened in the middle of the night by an alert for a moderate quake in California that wasn’t even felt at our home, we checked. Another middle of the night alert at home was completely false, terrifying me for no reason. Please add device tracking for better accuracy.

I really like the fact that this app can notify users before an earthquake, which is very useful for earthquake prone areas like California. Although, I would like you to at least consider the following suggestion. I think you should have 2 alert variants. 1 is for the magnitude 4.5 to 6.5 and let out an alert that is the same volume as the current one, but it sounds a little less urgent. The other would be for magnitude 6.6+ and would be the same volume but sound very alarming to signal to users to watch out.

This app is very good, it alerted me about 12 seconds before shaking over here in El Centro in February of 2025. Overall, great app for alerts but there is a suggestion I want to make, there should be an option that lets you adjust the option at what minimum magnitude you get alerts from. And another optimization, is that you should be able to change the alert sound to a custom sound.

Earthquake happened gave clear warning

My wife’s goes off, mine doesn’t. We’ve sat down with both our phones and verified our settings in the app and elsewhere are the same. I never get notifications.

I live in earthquake country and I do not recommend this app unless you're a surgeon, dentist or perform some other such task. It sends heart-attack alerts, either moments before, during or after an earthquake depending how close you are to the epicenter, and on how well it's working at that time. It delivers alerts that will wake you up in the middle of the night, for minor earthquakes that are not worthy of an alert to someone not close enough to be affected. It also has sent a false alert for an earthquake far away that didn't actually occur. If the developers can tweak it so it is more finely tuned perhaps it will be of use to the public but at this time it only causes loss of sleep and stress therefore I am deleting the app.

Alerted us 6mins before the actual earthquake.

Had to delete this app after being woken up at 1:41 in the morning with the warning. On iOS 26.4 this won’t let you change the intensity, current location, or distance for events. In the few times it does work it has saved me maybe a second or two at most, but it seems the app is more alarming than the earthquake itself.

This is the FOURTH time in the past couple of years that this thing has blared in my ear warning me to drop and cover IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, and then….nothing. No shaking, sometimes the earthquake is over 300 miles away, sometimes closer but nothing worth waking someone up for, just useless. And then I’m up for the next 2-3 hours because of the adrenaline of it. I’m over this!
