Great App, and they keep improving it. This is one of the few gadgets I have installed on my machines. It would be even better if it could link to the seismogram for the event as an option to display. The only downside is when an upgrade is available, uninstall the old one first, then do the upgrade. |

I'm Structural engineer. This APP is very useful. But I need put my own USGS/EMSC magnitude ( p.e. USGS 5+), or use both information. I use for the last 2 years. In conclusion fantastic application. |

I have the earthquake meter installed on my systems and it works great. I also have 7 furry biological seismographs. The minute they go high and get their feet off the floor, I check the computers to see who, when, where and how big. You would be surprised at how accurate they are. No matter where in the world, they feel it and the more intense it is, the higher they go. The only suggestion I have is to see if it might possible to include whether it was a vertical or horizontal slip as an option to the information posted on screen. This would be especially helpful for those living in coastal areas. |

I love this gadget works great for anyone with high speed (Broadband), the only suggestion I have is for people with dial-up there should be a way to limit the history to just a few pages. The gadget wants to update it's history when you connect and on dial-up it really slows things down. It is nice to see city names when the info is displayed, and the Google maps linkup is really cool as well.. |

2:09 am | A must have App
Hi and many thanks for this incredibly informative App.I've been using Earthquake meter since V1.0 and have put most of my friends onto it as well. Although I live in Australia where quakes are rare, this doesn't mean were immune to them, so I like to keep on top of what Mother Nature is doing elsewhere on our little globe, besides we Aussies aren't that far from the 'Ring of Fire' and to be forewarned could make a major difference if/when Mother Nature decides to unleash her fury. I think this App should be on every PC and laptop as standard software. You should consider releasing this App for Smart phones? |

7:16 am | Very Valuable App
I live in 'The OC' (Southern California) where we have to be ready when the San Andreas Fault starts to 'rock & roll'. Which we are told can at any time. But more than that, there are in excess of a dozen other faults, within miles of any part of the LA - San Diego area that are cocked and ready to fire at any time. Being able to watch the activity around the Pacific Rim is critical factor in being prepared for the 'Big One' the seismologists keep threatening us with. |

There are many things people can download on the internet these days and much of it is free. Sadly we all also get what we pay for most of the time.
Despite this there are always a few gems one happens to come across that more or less become permanently attached to our desktops..this day in age this little gadget has become one of those.
With the sensitivity settings set to -0.1 I can follow even the smallest movements around the world..I have been able to accurately pinpoint trouble areas and make accurate predictions based on the constant data.
I dare sound cliche by saying..This little gadget could well could save your life. |

I have friends and relatives around the Pacific Rim and being able to track sizeable earthquakes is helpful. During the New Zealand Christchurch earthquakes I was in touch with my friends within minutes and was able to check in with them before the cellphone traffic was overwhelmed.
My request would be for an option to visually see the date/time of the earthquake relative to my PC in the list so I know how recent the quakes are without having to open each one to confirm the timeframe.
Great app. Great folks. Thanks. |

This Earthquake meter is really an excellent feature on my computer desktop. Conveniently located on the right-bar. Microsoft's gadgets are not a touch against these. Most probably why they dropped their gadgets from their Win 8! Fortunately, I upgraded my computers from Windows 8 to Windows 7. A far more stable, respectable and usable operating system than Windows 8!
Thanks for an excellent product: Earthquake Meter!! |

Love the alarm feature. I find that I get notifications from the Earthquake Meter before USGS sends out their alerts, and I like the fact that I can click on the title bar and immediately get the world map showing all recent quakes. I hate having to dig through various links and web pages for the same thing on USGS.
The only refinement I can think of would be to allow for different alarms based on intensity levels, but it's a great gadget regardless. |

Remember, 400 million years ago, all the land masses were in one continent - Pangea. All those quakes add up! |

I downloaded & opened this gadget in Mid July. In the early hours of the morning (shortly thereafter while surfing the web) my area had an earthquake. I was able to know and inform my relatives (the magnitude of the quake) before the news had the info. They were surprised that I knew so quickly. It is also great to know if when I think I feel the 'earth move' whether that movement was an earthquake or not. When I am able to, I will donate something in appreciation for this and the other gadgets I use! |

I find this earthquake app very interesting. I am intrigued by how on one hand there are so many small/moderate earthquakes mostly in the same specific areas but also that there are fewer BIG earthquakes than i had expected and even fewer effecting populated areas (which is a relief). Obviously some do hit and have a tragic impact on local people occasionally. Like others on here i am also expecting a 'big' one to occur sooner or later that really will shake the planet (which is part of Gaia's plan to heal the planet - it's a bit like when i heal people, they twitch and jerk sometimes as energies re-balance themselves out - Planet Earth is the same - it needs some twitching to occur to correct build ups of energy etc here and there. |

When I rebuilt my computer the two things I put on first was my earthquake gadget and my weather ones. I go into withdrawal if I don't see it on my desktop. Some of the big quakes six months ago I could just click and look at the trends and magnitude. I call myself a desktop apps as a rule, but this one sits below my little local weather app on my desktop--always open! I appreciate the work you put into it, and the awareness it brings of how alive the earth is. |

I found this during it's initial release and have fun with it. Even have it on my work computer now. Oklahoma suddenly got on the 'earthquake map' when we had 3 big quakes within a few days. There are so many more that we never feel. I knew we had them all the time, but it's fun to see how more often they occur than you realize and how widespread around the world they are. Thanks for this fun gadget! |

Really like this gadget. Works great and doesn't seem to mess up the operations of Windows. (Most gadgets/widgets do). Other people's suggestions are good. We have had a lot of quakes in Oklahoma in the past nine months, one being 5.6 magnitude, with others 2.5 or better. We are averaging about a quake or two a week. It's a real trip when the whole room moves back and forth under you. But this gadget helps me monitor what is going on. Thanks. |

I love the basic simplicity of the meter, then you (for people like me who didn't read the page first) find out about the map popout and the world map showing all of the locations.
