When the ground moves, seconds decide. This is an early warning network that tries to reach you before the shaking does. The moment an epicentre is detected, a push notification lands on your phone and a countdown starts on screen showing how many seconds you have before the destructive S wave arrives. No account. No ads. No paywall. WHY THIS APP ▪ No sign-up — no email, no phone number, no password. You stay anonymous. ▪ Free with no advertising, no in-app purchases and no subscription. ▪ No background location tracking. Your position is only read while the app is open, and the app still works if you decline the permission. ▪ You set the threshold. Not interested in anything below M4.0?

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 7 screenshots above are Earthquake Alert: Live Map's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Earthquake Alert: Live Map runs a dark set with one background colour (#0C0C0C) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #DC2424, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
