QuakeZones app for iPhone and iPad

QuakeZones Shows Current AND Historical Earthquake Events Worldwide.
We set out to develop the absolute best historical earthquake app available for the iPhone. We looked at all of the available earthquake apps and quickly discovered that none of them presented historical earthquake information. Most showed only a few days of data with limited mapping or filtering options.
If you want to look at historical earthquake events and subsequent aftershocks on an iPhone, QuakeZones is absolutely your best answer.
QuakeZones uses Maps to pinpoint over a million earthquakes worldwide. More than 33 years of historical earthquake information is now available in the palm of your hand. Other earthquake apps show only 7 days of data. Why not see the whole picture?
See results in Map or List views. Filter results alphabetically, or by magnitude, proximity, or date and time. Save areas of interest for future reference. Search broadly by Region or specifically by City with more than 300,000 cities available.

Latest reviews of QuakeZones app for iPhone and iPad
Nice and usefull app, but frequent crashes (iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 4).
Missing Fukushima and others
Does what it says; would have been very useful if it didnt crash everytime the user hits the list tab. The application completely froze and would not start up again without reinstallation, which is a real bummer
Very good, but where is todays Ascoli 2.7 Richter 32KM 08.35? 09.03.2010
A lot of useful and cool data. Its like a mini earthquake factbook that I can take anywhere without worrying about carrying around a huge book. This app also has a very simple yet effective UI that wont be dreaded everytime you run the app. The only thing I didnt like was how the video section was structured. Other than that, its a great app. 5/5.
