FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Earthquake Globe free to download?
Yes. Earthquake Globe is completely free on the App Store with no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no account required. You get real-time earthquake data from USGS, a live 3D globe map, and push notifications at no cost.
What iPhone models and iOS versions does Earthquake Globe support?
Earthquake Globe requires iOS 16.0 or later and is compatible with all iPhone and iPad models that support iOS 16. This includes iPhone 8 and newer. The app is optimized for iOS 17+ for the best 3D globe experience.
How does Earthquake Globe send push notifications?
Earthquake Globe uses local push notifications triggered by background refresh. You set a magnitude threshold (e.g., M4.0+) and the app checks USGS feeds periodically. When a new earthquake exceeding your threshold is detected, a notification is sent to your device. No server or account is required.
What data source does Earthquake Globe use?
Earthquake Globe pulls data exclusively from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) GeoJSON real-time feeds, which cover worldwide seismic activity. Data is updated every 60 seconds. USGS is the authoritative source for global earthquake monitoring.
Can I set location-based earthquake alerts in Earthquake Globe?
Yes. Earthquake Globe supports radius alerts — you can set a geographic location and receive notifications only for earthquakes within a chosen radius (e.g., 100 km from your home). You can configure multiple locations and customize magnitude thresholds for each.
