Q: What is Earthquake Network?A: Earthquake Network is the first Android application for detecting earthquakes through a global network of smartphones and pads.
Q: How does it work?A: When the device detects the waves of a quake, the event is notified to a server along with your geographic position.
Q: What happens if I move my device?A: Since the single device is not reliable, a quake is actually detected when many devices in the same area detect the quake at the same time.
Q: How do I use the app?A: Start the application and use your device as always. The application works as a seismometer only when the device is placed over an horizontal surface, is charging and the screen is off.
Q: Does the app drain my battery?A: No. The app is only running when the device is on charge.
Q: Does the app collect personal informations?A: No. Only the geographic position is anonymously collected and it is deleted from the server after 10 minutes if no earthquakes are detected.
Q: Why should I keep Earthquake Network on my device?A: Because the app can be useful to detect earthquakes only if it is installed on a large number of devices and it is free. Thanks for your cooperation!
