Designed by seismologists, LastQuake is the official app of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC).

User Reviews
The user interface and experience in this app is astonishingly bad. Lists are filtered using pop-out menus with radio buttons. Notification settings are opaque and confusing. UI elements overlap others. It’s a mess. It clearly was developed by people who don’t have a budget for real iOS developers. But I’m keeping the app for three reasons. 1.) I don’t have to sacrifice my privacy to American techbro kleptocrats and instead can support a group of scientists who prioritize information over profit. 2.) The app has no unnecessary features. There’s no gated functionality behind a paywall. 3.) The earthquake info and alerts seem to be timely and relevant/helpful. Support science over big tech.
Absolutely horrible new UI, makes it completely unusable. Can’t get relevant data or updated lists of earthquakes near me. Cant click on the map to view the earthquake. Can’t even keep track of the earthquake that just happened where I am. Used to be an amazing app but it was fully ruined with the update.
Needed this app for relevant info. Broke a great app with whatever changes made. Map doesn’t stretch out for closer look. Graphics and texts are impossible to make out. Sorry. Must delete
i’m not receiving any notifications for any earthquakes, whether it’s near me or on the other side of the globe. this issue appears on other people using other devices as well.
Good app
Last update must have been done by children. It was fine as it was, why do you feel the need to change something that works fine. Put it back like it was and you get a 5 star. As it is now, 1 star. Or, time to delete and find another app.
ow the interface is terrible. why change something that it's okay?
Used this app I. The past and it was Easy and clear to use. Now it's too difficult to even read it. Will look for alternatives.
Good
