Zoom, pan and change map type. Overlay Tectonic plates. The map can now be centered on the Pacific Ocean and scrolled horizontally to see the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean.
Share maps and earthquake information to Twitter, Facebook, iMessage or Email with the new Share button. You can also save snapshots to your local albums.
An Earthquake table list the most recent events with colored visual cues for the Magnitude. Clicking on a line will send you to the map and display the corresponding quake. An info disclosure displays the USGS information in real time for the corresponding earthquake.
The Help tab will display a live help from Internet, links to our 'Alerts & News' page.
Instructive, fascinating to follow day after day, addictive for some of our users and used by teachers and by emergency services.

Useful app for those of us in earthquake areas
LeftCoastMan
I found this app very useful, uploading it soon after feeling the earthquake here in Southern California on April 4. You can use a list of the latest earthquakes to get information (not detailed, but good enough), or tap on the map. Both are useful. The database from which they pull the data is very good (I believe the USGS), and it's kind of cool to look at earthquakes across the world. Of course, most earthquakes are not related to each other, but you can see local swarms. For example, the April 4 earthquake in Baja California is still sending out several aftershocks per hour, so you get a huge splotch on the map. This is the "lite" version, so I'm assuming that the full version will be more fun. I'd like to see earthquake depths and longer history (I'm not sure how far back the data base goes) which is easily accessible. Anyways, for those of us on the West Coast, it's a very useful tool. Once the iPad store is open worldwide, I'm sure people in other areas of the world will buy it. We used to have office pools on the Magnitudes of earthquakes...this will make paying off much better (yes, after a few hundred earthquakes in my life, including quite destructive ones, but most Californians have a callous attitude towards them).
Clean and simple

Just downloaded it and used it. App is clean and simple, but I wish the world map was split down the middle of the Atlantic so the entire pacific could be seen at once. That's where most of the earthquakes are! Also, it would be nice to be able to set the minimum earthquake intensity that's displayed.
Really cool

I don't need this app for anything - not a scientist nor do I live anywhere where earthquakes are common, but I find it very interesting. And it's free, so I don't get the low ratings. I haven't had any crashes or bugginess. It's a very cool map with good presentation of information for the average person. If you're not the average person, then don't get the one called "lite". Everyone else, enjoy!
Very good!

Really very good, the udpate is very fast, much better than other pay apps. Good job!
Amazing

I love this app. I would just like to know one thing do you guys use the ESRI software for your maps and symbols?????
First to know about virginia quake

From Raleigh NC: some felt tremors, others didn't. I decided to check my iQuake app and could tell others in office about the 5.8 in VA in minutes.
Fun to see, but...

The only thing it's missing is the ability to scroll the map far enough to see the entire Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. It has the potential to be a powerful image for students to see as it is one of the more consistently active parts of the world for earthquakes and volcanoes.
Wow!

First word I uttered when I opened the app! Really shows just how tectonically active the earth is on a daily basis. Great for earth science class.
Love this app...wish Fiji was more accessible
Mr. Luigi
This is a great app for anyone interested in plate tectonics, seismic activity, etc. I lived in Fiji for 3 years and would love to monitor seismic activity in that part of the world. For some reason, if you scroll the earth clockwise or counterclockwise as far as it will go the Pacific region of which Fiji is a part is not accessible...or partially accessible at best.
