About NewQuake: Earthquake Tracker
NewQuake shows you what an earthquake actually did, not just its magnitude. Every significant quake comes with a map you can read. Replay the P and S seismic waves spreading from the epicenter, see ShakeMap shading where the ground shook hardest, watch the aftershock sequence fan out from the mainshock, and find the active faults nearby, including which plate is diving beneath which at a subduction zone. For the largest events, watch the finite-fault rupture unfold across the fault plane. What you get • Live for great quakes and tsunamis: while the waves are still travelling, the map draws them where they are right now • Recent feed with color-coded magnitudes, felt reports, JMA shindo for Japan, and aftershock sequence pills • Map tab with a satellite globe, plate boundaries, active faults, and every recent event in one view • Event pages with depth in context, energy released, fault type, and the official agency bulletin • Historical Quakes: the great and giant earthquakes of the past, plotted and replayable • Guided map tours of last week's notable quakes, and of the historic ones • Tsunami bulletins from NOAA, with the wavefront routed over the ocean floor and replayed • Ongoing volcanic eruptions from GDACS and the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program • Notifications with your own magnitude and severity thresholds, per saved location • Optional Time-Sensitive alerts for dangerous nearby events • Home Screen widget with the latest event • A glossary that explains every term the app uses • No accounts, no advertising, no tracking Data sources U.S. Geological Survey, European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, Japan Meteorological Agency, NOAA / National Weather Service, GDACS, and the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program. NewQuake is informational and may be delayed or incomplete. Follow official local emergency guidance for safety decisions.

What’s new
Version 1.7 · Updated September 20, 2026
Tsunami waves that follow the real ocean. The wave front is now worked out from the depth of the sea it crosses, so it bends around islands, speeds up and slows down with the seafloor, and ends where it reaches land. Where a warning center publishes arrival times, the front is matched to them. Tsunami forecast points show the expected wave height. Each coastal point is colored by how high the wave is expected to be, with a legend to read it by, lights up at its own arrival time, and opens a card with the details when you tap it. Live, for the big ones. A great earthquake's waves cross the ground for about ten minutes, and a tsunami bulletin stands for hours. While one of those is still running it is marked LIVE in Recent, on the Map, on its page and in the widget, and the map draws the waves where they are right now. Small quakes are usually over before the first report arrives, so this is for the events that last.
