We set out to develop the absolute best historical earthquake app available for the iPhone. We looked at all of the available earthquake apps and quickly discovered that none of them presented historical earthquake information. Most showed only a few days of data with limited mapping or filtering options.
If you want to look at historical earthquake events and subsequent aftershocks on an iPhone, QuakeZones is absolutely your best answer.
QuakeZones uses Maps to pinpoint over a million earthquakes worldwide. More than 33 years of historical earthquake information is now available in the palm of your hand. Other earthquake apps show only 7 days of data. Why not see the whole picture?
See results in Map or List views. Filter results alphabetically, or by magnitude, proximity, or date and time. Save areas of interest for future reference. Search broadly by Region or specifically by City with more than 300,000 cities available.

Simple and effective.

A lot of useful and cool data. It's like a mini earthquake factbook that I can take anywhere without worrying about carrying around a huge book. This app also has a very simple yet effective UI that won't be dreaded everytime you run the app. The only thing I didn't like was how the video section was structured. Other than that, it's a great app. 5/5.
Wicked Neat.

This is a really cool app.. you get to check out where earthquakes occurred all over the world... their magnitude and depth, and the actual GPS coordinates to check out the locations of the earthquakes in something like Google Earth. I've been waiting for something like this to come to the iPhone for a looong time. A huge bonus was that it has historical data as well! Kudos, AppDudes.
Wrong magnitude compared to USGS

Where does the earhquake data come from? It doesn't seems it come from USGS. Chile earthquake was 8.8 magnitude not 8.5. Can we pick which server the data comes from? I rather use USGS. Also the apps crashes frequently. Other wise this free app beats many other paid apps on the market right now! Update: they fixed the magnitude. I hope this is not done manually. So up the stars to 4. Would be a 5 if they reported the correct magnitude to begin with.
Decent App

The only bug seems to be that the historical data doesn't go back as far as advertised, otherwise no problems
I had no idea....

What's going on around me. I would gladly pay for this app. Get it while it's free. You have nothing to lose, and a lot to gain.

Good application for monitoring quakes around the world. Good information tagged to the colored pins. Great for a quick look at what is shaking where.

This app would be 5 stars and worth $5 To me if it had alert ( push ) for quakes over 4 in any area of the world also it would be awesome to see a map of the plates faut line areas and See a color pattern showing potential danger . Also tsunami alerts and info links or more video on theory this is a really nice app good job *** update gets 5 stars** Thanks for the push You guys rock!
great app

I thinks it's a great app and it's for free so is even better...The only thing I notice is the time of the report. It would be good to being able to customize time zones. For an example: It's recording right now an earthquake and it says that it was at 9:32 PM, but in my country isn't that time yet...so local time according to our location would be nice...
