Pros and cons of Epicenter - Global Earthquakes app for iPhone and iPad

Epicenter - Global Earthquakes app good for

App is elegant, and easy to customize. KUDOS to the developers.
The CEO of Blue Rocket returned my query concerning the recent loss of map coverage-still my absolute favorite application, kudos. STOP PLATE TECTONICS!

Some bad moments

This is a really nice way to visualize recent seismic activity. I’m mostly interested in my own geographic area, but it is fun to spin the globe and see how other hotspots compare to my own back yard. Obviously, the whole ring of fire is going to be consistently lit up, but I had no idea the extent of activity caused by hydraulic fracturing in Oklahoma. It’s cool to see this info in such an interactive way.
I love how interactive the globe feature is and how easy it is to zoom into a region to explore recent events. Worth keeping on your phone!
The app is really easy to use, and the data stays really current. Will share, thanks!
The animation on the globe is super-smooth! Watching the earthquakes accumulate makes me feel like I can see patterns in seismic activity. Check out your ‘today’ pulldown for closest and largest. Dots trump pins!
Best part is being able to get info about each quake. Easy to use and teaches me things. Its like having a seismologist in my pants.
And being able to see strongest quake in last 30 days and also tap on each dot indicating an earthquake and pull up the usgs data for it is pretty cool- you do have to be zoomed in pretty far to be able to do it though.
