Latest reviews of GeoNet Quake app for iPhone and iPad
Thank you, GNS Science, this is absolutely super.
I like this app, works quite good, very basic interface, maybe a bit too basic, however! I expect the app to grow in time.
I live in a city with almost daily quakes. This app is really useful! Have it on my phone and iPad.
A helpful app. But now all the impact/magnitude ratings are indicated by different shades of orange. Really bad design choice. Now its hard to scan rapidly for higher impact events and Im forced to use filters - losing the context. Did you guys test this? With who? Please fix the colors.
