Easy to use
Straight to the point. Nice to read other people's reactions and experiences to an otherwise traumatizing natural event.

Description
LastQuake is the official phone application of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC). Designed by seismologists, the LastQuake application is dedicated to alerting populations and gathering testimonies in real time. In only a few minutes, EMSC is thus able to estimate earthquake effects.
** WHAT IS THE EMSC? **
EMSC is an international non-profit scientific NGO founded in 1975. Based in France, EMSC federates data from the seismological observatories of 86 institutes from 57 countries.
** AN INNOVATIVE EARTHQUAKE DETECTION METHOD **
The peculiarity of EMSC lies in its method of earthquake detection, which is based on:
- Earthquake witnesses, who are the first to feel an earthquake, and therefore the first informed that an event is happening.
- Internet and mobile technologies, which allow rapid information collection of the effects observed by witnesses, who are asked to fill in a questionnaire and share photos and videos.
** COMMITMENT TO POPULATIONS AFFECTED BY EARTHQUAKES **
Because information and communication are cornerstones in preventing risky behaviors, EMSC contributes to the reduction of seismic risk by providing to the general public:
- real-time information
- Post-earthquake safety tips
- SMS service that allows victims to notify their loved ones.
** PRINCIPAL FEATURES **
* Real-time information and data
* Customizable notifications (destructive earthquakes, earthquakes near you)
* Access to comments, photos and videos by witnesses
* Allows the sharing of information on social media
* Can send SMS to your loved ones if you are in the area impacted by an earthquake
* Provides post-earthquake safety tips

Very interesting and informative. Living in Southern California it's helpful. Being aware of earthquakes around the world is useful being an Earth Science instructor.

Earthquakes CSEM EMSC
I like it, and I use it a lot!
As soon as there is an earthquake worldwide, I know all about it... i have family all around, so it is a very good tool!
2016-12-17
Great accurate app.
I have family in another state that has many earthquakes and get the news faster through your app.

Quick information!
I live on the Pacific coast a few miles from the ocean. I really appreciate knowing when earthquakes happen, where, and what depth.

Excellent
Living in an earthquake-prone zone such as Italy, this is truly a very useful app. And it is almost real time. Such a good idea. And the feedback mechanism is intuitive and simple. If only the responses could be translated into a common language...

Stop wondering "was that an earthquake?"
Now you can know quickly. And be among the first to know of other activity around the world. Really well done.

Earthquake Notification
I agree with the previous commenter. I, too, got the notification, and I have been waiting for the app to be updated and fixed, so that I don't have to look at the little BALL staring me in the face!! Well, I can't wait anymore for this app to be fixed, so I am deleting it!! When you finally DO fix it, send me a notice, somehow, and I will re-install it. To have to wait THIS long for the app to work properly is UNACCEPTABLE!!

Good and scary. Exactly what I want.
I'm super afraid of earthquakes and this feeds my paranoia perfectly. I love seeing where they are and how frequently they happen all around the world.
Criticism: I got a notification for a large earthquake off the coast of Mexico and no matter what I do there is no way to get the notification to go away. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. There is also no bug report buttons to let the developers know of the issue.
