Was That an Earthquake? v2.0 Released

2026-10-19

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.
