Earthquake Alert 1.0.4.0

Whenever the Earth shakes the movements are recorded by specialized tools and seismologists log the earthquakes for analysis. The interest for the wide public is increasing with the quake's magnitude, as everyone wants to stay safe and if possible warned about a potential seism that might occur in their area.

Since predicting these movements of the Earth and warning people beforehand is work in progress still, people can follow the quakes as they occur, using some dedicated apps like Earthquake Alert.

Plain looks and easy to read layout

This utility comes with a simple and unadorned interface in which the contained data is presented into a fairly organized manner, with all the relevant details for each earthquake included.

The map view that you can bring up by selecting any of the entries on the list in the main screen helps you get an accurate localization and see exactly the spot where the epicenter of that quake was located.

In the lower side of the screen you will see a continuous stream of ad banners that are changing constantly, while once in a while a couple of prompts to rate and review the app will appear from nowhere.

Earthquake information on the go

This application gathers its data from the U.S. Geological Survey website and displays official data concerning each recorded event. On the downside, the list presented inside Earthquake Alert is far from being complete and many quakes, even some of significant magnitude are not shown.

Except for the map localization via Bing, which is available for all the items, you can check out from the main screen, there is a bit of extra info provided for the last recorded seism. Thus, besides the magnitude, location and date you can also view the depth and exact coordinates (latitude and longitude).
