Volcanoes & Earthquakes

About Volcanoes & Earthquakes

Volcanoes & Earthquakes shows the latest world-wide earthquakes (or only quakes near you), as well as earthquake "I-felt-it" reports, in near real-time and active volcanoes on a map and as list, as well as volcano news from all the world.
You can filter the data shown in various ways, e.g. by magnitude or age of earthquakes, the distance from your location, the status of volcanoes and so on.

!*****! Write a nice 5-star review to keep the developer motivated to continue working on this app;-)

Features:

- See currently erupting volcanoes on a map (more than 1600 active and dormant volcanoes)
- Get most recent volcano news, including volcanic ash advisories (since v.1.4)

- Notifications: near-real time earthquake & volcano alerts
- Custom alerts for user-set locations / areas
- Optional background update at custom interval
- Alert if earthquakes might have been felt at your location
- Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 6) available for up to 1 year
- Listing of earthquakes near active volcanoes (could be indications of volcanic unrest)
- Complete volcano listing worldwide A-Z / by country / by activity level (since v. 1.4.)
- Multiple data sources (more than 40 international and national data sources)
- Filter earthquakes according to magnitude, age and distance
- Filter quakes by continent, country or state (since 2.3.0)
- Sort quakes by time (latest) or size (magnitude)
