Earthquake shows earthquake information and location-based notifications. Notification delivery depends on source data updates, server processing, network connectivity, notification permissions and Android power settings. Alerts may arrive late or fail to arrive; use official emergency channels for safety decisions. Stay informed about earthquakes happening around the globe with detailed information including magnitude, depth, location, and the reporting agency. The app displays the reporting agency with the earthquake details; check the original agency for current emergency information. The app provides comprehensive safety guidelines and preparedness tips to help you and your family stay safe during seismic events. With customizable alert settings, you can set minimum magnitude thresholds and select specific regions of interest so you only receive the notifications that matter to you. View earthquake locations on an interactive map with color-coded markers indicating magnitude severity. Browse historical earthquake data to understand seismic patterns in your area and stay prepared. Keep official emergency guidance available when planning travel or preparing for earthquakes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Earthquake data is sourced from official agencies including the USGS (United States Geological Survey) and KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) to ensure reliability.
Delivery depends on source data updates, server processing, network conditions, notification permissions and Android power settings. Alerts may arrive late or fail to arrive; use official emergency channels for safety decisions.
Magnitude measures the energy released by an earthquake on a logarithmic scale. Each whole number increase represents roughly 32 times more energy released.
Yes, you can set a minimum magnitude threshold and select specific regions of interest so you only receive alerts that matter to you.
Location permission, current-location use, and saved alert locations are optional. If you save an active alert location, the app sends its name, precise coordinates, alert radius, and minimum magnitude to Tarkarn's server to calculate and deliver personalized earthquake alerts. You can use the app without location permission or saved locations, and the app does not request Android background location access. Google Analytics and Mobile Ads may also derive approximate location from the device's IP address. Deleting a saved location removes it from your device and from the server when the app next synchronizes your saved location profile.
Yes, each earthquake is displayed on an interactive map with color-coded markers. You can tap on any marker to see detailed information about that earthquake, including magnitude, depth, and exact coordinates.
The app can receive FCM messages when it is not open, but network access, Android power restrictions and notification permissions affect delivery. Installing the app and allowing notifications does not guarantee receipt.
The app includes a dedicated safety guidelines section with step-by-step instructions for what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. This includes drop-cover-hold on advice, evacuation guidance, and post-earthquake safety checks.
The app provides access to recent earthquake history from official data sources, allowing you to browse and search through past earthquakes to understand seismic patterns in any region.
Yes, the app supports Korean and English, with the interface language switching based on your device language settings.
