It's kinda useful, sure, but I have so much difficulty reporting data and accessing it that there's no reason for me to ever use it. Attempting to report data results in the app telling me it's going to access my location and then doing absolutely nothing. Why do I have to use the non-mobile seismograph charts to verify instead of just being allowed to use the mobile one in a timely manner? I've always had some problems with the app, but it's gotten quite a bit worse since I last used it.

Constant notifications for earthquakes on the other side of the planet, but when I hear about a quake in the SF Bay Area where I live on my local news, I get no notification from this app. Don't waste your memory on this junk all.
It's suppose to show 5 and above but only shows 5. Whatever
By the standards of an earlier age this is absolutely magic. A miracle of modern science and technology. Ignore the haters who can't figure out the settings, and the minor bugs. BE warned, it does eat battery if you don't turn battery saver on, but then it's less helpful to the project.
Arbitration in the license agreement? Are you kidding me? UC Berkeley is a public institution, for Pete's sake.
It sits on my notification bar continuously. No thank you.
Seems too much like Intrusive Spyware.
