Not showing recent major earthquakes
I’ve used this app for years and have loved it however I’ve noticed recently that it is not showing a lot of newer earthquakes. I thought it was just a glitch and that it would fix itself will it hasn’t. We recently had an M 8.8 - at Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. This is not in the app. Also Many other large ones ranging up to 6.9 at the same location and only a few above six are shown. The 6.9 is not there. The M6.8 at Macquarie Island region is not there. A M6.5 Indonesia, not there. Many many many earthquakes are not there. I am looking at the USGS 7 day feed. I have tried loading different feeds, and they all say that the server is down and this has been going on for weeks.. I tried deleting and reloading the app. It did not work. There are no updates. I’ve tried it on three different devices. It’s the same. I’ve even tried to use the atlas which does not work by the way. It’s always blank. I don’t think this app has been updated for quite some time. Perhaps it’s time.
