My Earthquake Alerts - Map

Love this app. It started with 0 ads and I understand they need to make some money and the amount of ads now is acceptable/tolerable considering how many ads are in every other app lol. They also make the Northern Lights App and I was so happy when I found that, it was great. Happy to send kofi money!! 4 stars and not 5 because the settings are a little clunky to navigate but since there's not an overwhelming amount, it's not time consuming to look through the list for what you need.

I can't figure out how to set filters for magnitude, proximity to me, and time frame. I had pictured an app where I could zoom in or out on a map and be shown pins that fit my parameters. Think: Zillow. I guess it's fine for what it does, but I don't want to scroll through dozens of alerts from all over the world to see the 4.1 that happened 20 miles from my house while I was sleeping.

Leaving GPS on drains batteries. Needs to remember last location of the phone. Most people stay in a 10 to 50 mile radius of their homes/work. That isn't good for immediate reporting, you can turn off that function, but would allow people to get info for recent quakes. Needs to better filter out earthquakes not near me. It is not easy to 'look up' possible quakes. USGS has a good option, could be an idea to start. Great concept. I can't use it because I won't leave in my Loc function.
