About this app

EQ REPORT is the Android app of earthquake-report.com, bringing easy-to-understand earthquake information to millions around the world since 2011. EQ Report is not only informative but also extremely fast.

EQ Report collects your earthquake shaking and damage experience and shares your information instantly with other users of the app and the website, something we have been doing long before any other organization.
