Volcanoes: Map, Alerts & Ash

In the few years I have had this application, I’ve found it quite useful in aiding my research and fueling my passion for volcanology and seismology. While it is certainly not an in-depth application for those looking for every piece of news or detailed reports on volcanoes or earthquakes, it is quite handy for basic overviews on important geologic events around the globe, and it keeps the user updated on when and where said event is occurring. I find that occasionally certain events that may have just occurred will not receive updates until days later, and it may leave the user without an alert about the given event until then. While this is not ideal, I understand that this application is intended for basic overviews, and I don’t hold that fact against it. Overall I am quite pleased with the years of service this application has brought me, and I look forward to many more!

About six months ago I bought a few apps which track earthquakes, hurricanes, and cyclones around the planet. I always had a hidden interest about volcanos. I live in a State of the US, where over 3/4 the real estate was formed by ancient volcanos. This is the State of New Mexico, so one day I checked with the App Store. I wondered if there was an app keeping up with all the volcanos on earth. This app does exactly that quite nicely. The app works with Maps, showing exactly where all the volcanos are located. There's both satellite imagery, as well as photos taken from planes, and ground. As much as can be possible, there's information provided for every volcano across the globe. There's current activity, as well as ash reports as they come in all over the earth. I have fun learning about all the volcanos, and terminology. I highly recommend this app, they give you a lot for just a few dollars.

A great app, especially for free. I only gave it 3 stars because the activity info isn't as current as it should be. Living only miles from the San Andreas fault line which travels into the Sea of Cortez up to and San Francisco, means to me information, although most times in the past tense, it could mean even more of things to come. The Quake app is essential if you take what we’re being shown as important as it is. My only complaint is not being able to show a history of volcanic and earthquake activity along a specific stretch of fault lines. That being said I’ve been a little too critical of your app until I understood what it takes just to keep such important app accurate and dependable. So great job, and maybe add another even far more tie in of the two things of this two are so closely related. ✝️ ΙΧΘΥΣ <^><
