both iOS (iPad, iPhone) as well as AndroidThere are a number of applications warns users when one occurred earthquake.
One of the most efficient and stable applications for iOS, compatible on both iPad and iPhone, is Earthquake, developed by Nico Tranquilla.
The Earthquake application warns us as soon as an earthquake has occurred in the regions determined to be of interest to us, providing detailed information about this phenomenon. The depth at which the earthquake occurred, its magnitude and exact location.
Here's how it looks alert for earthquake produced in RomaniaOn September 1 2016.
In the PRO version, the application also allows us to customize the notifications. We can set to notify us only for earthquakes produced in a certain region established by us, and from a certain magnitude up. For example, we set to be warned for earthquakes greater than 5 degrees produced in Europe, and greater than 3 degrees produced in Romania.

LastQuake – CSEM / EMSC is another application that I have tested and it is very good. Practically, this application is more "official" if we can say so. The application is developed by EMSC-CSEM itself. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Center is a non-profit organization that monitors earthquakes and develops real-time warning solutions for the population.
The CSEM / EMSC application is available for both Android and iOS.
The interesting part of this application is that users can interact. He tells his opinion about an earthquake that happened in a certain region, I can upload pictures of the damage caused by the earthquake and I can tell how he felt.
You can find the application in the App Store and Google Play, by simply searching for "EMSC".
The application is free and requires no registration.
