What’s New 5.4.0

Calling all science + history geeks, QuakeFeed now has Historical Earthquake Data back to 1900!

In the USA, “Earthquake Country” is also Wildfire Country. (And sometimes, we even have hurricanes!) That is why we included wildfires and hurricanes in QuakeFeed Premium.

We have extended the free trial of QuakeFeed Premium to 30 days! Tap the Settings button (bottom right corner) then tap the blue Redeem Your Free Month button. With Family Sharing, you can share your subscription with up to five family members!

We hope you give QuakeFeed Premium a try, so you can use the Wildfires, Hurricanes, and Historical Earthquake features described below. Thank you!

Filter Wildfires by State

NOTE: Wildfires can spread to more than one state. The list displays the State of Origin only (i.e., where the fire started).

Links to InciWeb and CAL FIRE

CAL FIRE and InciWeb are where you will find SAFETY INFORMATION, such as evacuation orders, road closures, status updates, information phone lines, town hall meetings, etc.

Tap or pull up on the Wildfire Details sliding panel to view the links to the Incident Page and the State Fire Agency.

California fires link to CAL FIRE; all other states to InciWeb.

Hurricanes Map Layer available with Premium subscription.

Improved VoiceOver Support
Thanks to feedback from a QuakeFeed user who is blind, we have improved how QuakeFeed supports the VoiceOver feature in iOS.

Charitable Giving Links
We often receive messages from caring members of the QuakeFeed community who want to help people affected by natural disasters. This prompted us to research charities to which you can feel confident giving. We have identified four charities so far: World Central Kitchen, Center for Disaster Philanthropy, World Food Program, and UNICEF.

In the QuakeFeed Settings, we have added a Charitable Giving page that includes links to the websites for these charities. In the Help section, we have also added an article titled How Can I Donate to People in Need.

We will keep these pages updated with new suggestions for ways to help. We encourage you to check out the charities listed there and also to research them on Charity Navigator. And if you do decide to make a donation, then we would love to know about it!

PLEASE NOTE: If you have a charity suggestion, or if you would like to partner with us on fundraising, please let us know! Tap the Help button the top right corner, then tap Ask to send us a message.
