Epicenter - Global Earthquakes

This is an awesome app, and the dev seems very attentive to dealing with issues and keeping things up to date and working smoothly. For some reason I can no longer get the app to work on my phone. When I try to open it, it immediately crashes and closes again. My first assumption is that the issue is on my end. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, but my iOS is really outdated(v16.3). Updating that may fix the issue. If I get the chance to update iOS, I’ll update this review with the results as well.

For those interested, this is a great iPad app with a beautifully designed user interface. The base is an earth globe, rotatable in any direction. Tap on an earthquake's dot for detailed infomation. Appears to use USGS data. (Previous review edited and updated. iPhone issue went away.)

I live in CA, and my family is scattered throughout the state. I original got this so I could track the activity of their area, but the map is so much fun to use that I've started monitoring other areas of the world too. The ring of fire is particularly interesting to keep an eye on. It's good to stay educated in the world around you. I've learned that Californa is not at all the worst place to live in regards to earthquakes! Stay safe out there. My favorite part about the map is the global 3d sphere. It's really easy to jump around to different locations and review the quakes. I love the map is not politically divided - it's all topho (at least that's how I keep my settings). As you zoom in, the state/country dividers pop up, but when you zoom out, they fade away which I love. Or you can select plate boundaries to be toggled on, which is pretty sweet too look at. Great app. Definitely learning more about the world.
