About MyShake

Get earthquake early warning alerts in California, Oregon and Washington!

What MyShake Is Used For

MyShake appears to be a phone app for earthquake early warning and related alerting in California, Oregon, and Washington. Based on the metadata, it is part of the Weather category, but its main use is likely receiving location-based seismic alerts rather than providing forecasts or general weather updates.

The listed permissions suggest the app may use precise and approximate location, background location, notifications, internet access, and boot-related startup support so it can deliver alerts and keep running when needed. In practical terms, people may use it to get notified about nearby earthquake activity, monitor alerts while away from home, and keep informed on a mobile device in areas where earthquake warning coverage is relevant.

Common uses

  • Receive earthquake early warning alerts on a phone
  • Use location services so alerts may match your area
  • Run in the background to help deliver timely notifications
  • Start after device reboot to continue alert coverage
  • Send push notifications about seismic events
  • Useful for residents or travelers in covered western U.S. states
