QuakeLens watches over the places that matter to you — where your family lives, not just where your phone happens to be. Register the locations you care about. QuakeLens monitors the seismic zones covering them, around the clock, using each region's national earthquake catalogs. WHAT IT DOES • Live status for every zone: typical, busy, or under statistical alert • Alerts when recent activity is measurably above the zone's own baseline • Aftershock-sequence tracking after significant earthquakes, with caution periods • Hourly and 28-day activity charts with alert periods marked • Radar replay: play the zone map back like weather radar — the last 24 hours live, or the 48 hours around a notable quake: the before, the strike and the aftermath • Honest report cards: for past earthquakes in each zone, see what the detector caught — and what it missed • Alert history: every alert, caution pe…
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.

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
