Was that an Earthquake? v3.0 is now available for macOS, iOS, and visionOS.

Updates

• Updated user interface
• Improved support for side-by-side windows
• You can now create Notable Areas to receive notifications regarding earthquakes near regions that you define.

Notable Areas

Look up regions by name or address using the on-device Maps API. You can set up triggers for

• distance to the selected location
• magnitude of the earthquake
• if the earthquake has a tsunami warning

Notable areas are evaluated when the app fetches new data from USGS earthquake feed. The app schedules a background task to refresh roughly every hour but this timing is controled by your device itself so the update time may vary.
