A Cool Android Application-the Earthquake Realtime Indicator

There are so many popular tools and applications for the android mobile phones and the iphones as well. But one of my favorite tool is the Earthquake Realtime Indicator by Androidzoom. It alerts you every time an earthquake was detected in any part of the globe. There are also tabs (2) for you to be able to view the location of the earthquake on the google map and (3) another one to tell all related information and news about the recent earthquake.

It may sound very cryptic whenever you hear the beep and see the Ei icon popping on top of the phone screen. And when you check it especially on a weekend, to see a long list of earthquakes occurring in sequence with intensities over 4.0 scale-- it can give you goose bumps.

But on the other hand, monitoring all these earthquake instances would also tell a pattern even for a non-earthquake expert. It shows earthquakes are natural phenomenons. It shows there are locations that naturally prone or induced to earthquakes. And many earthquakes also take place in bodies of water. These are some of the initial observations I have. Android phone users may also try it out and share insights on this. Cheers to Android apps!
