Where does iQuake get its data?

iQuake aggregates real-time data directly from the USGS and TMD APIs.

Does iQuake send real-time alerts?

Due to iOS battery restrictions, push notifications are limited. Premium Widgets refresh every ~5 minutes.

30-Day Trends

// FAQ

Where does the data come from? +

We aggregate directly from the USGS (Global) and TMD (Thailand) APIs. Data is authoritative and usually updates within 2-5 minutes of an event.

Are alerts instant? +

iOS background limitations prevent true "instant" push. However, our Widgets refresh every 5-10 minutes, which is the fastest allowed update interval for this data type.

Does it work offline? +

You need internet to fetch new quakes. However, once loaded, the 30-day history and map data are cached and can be viewed offline.

// SYSTEM_SPECIFICATIONS

Global Seismic Network

iQuake connects directly to the USGS and EMSC data feeds to provide global coverage of seismic events. We monitor P-wave and S-wave detection reports to visualize magnitude, depth, and epicenter location.

Data Latency & Accuracy

Unlike crowd-sourced apps, iQuake prioritizes authoritative government data. Event reports are typically generated within 2-5 minutes of the seismic event. Our 3D Depth Engine renders the hypocenter relative to tectonic plate boundaries.
