  • Surpsingly accurate!

    I've seen apps that utilize the iPhones accelerometer, but I had no idea it was this sensitive!

    Put it on the floor it can sense you walking from across the room! Even picks up strong sound vibrations!

    Don't bother with recording history, it doesn't matter and would take up space. Great app keep developing.

  • Good vibrations!

    This clever app plots vibrations on a faux chart recorder. With a little imagination, one can come up with any number of uses, like comparing the ride quality of new cars, positioning your subwoofer, looking for resonant points in structures like bridges, etc, or maybe seeing which grip or posture is the most stable for shooting; photos, guns or arrows.

    Adding a feature to set alarm points, one could make an earthquake alert or theft alarm.

    I'd love to see dual recorders for x,y with different colored ink. Some averaging and integrating functions to calculate energy would be great, as well as adding history and reset options. How about being able to select logarithm paper instead of this quadrille?

    Note to past reviewers: giving this free app a low score isn't appropriate if the
    limitation is your own creativity!

  • Great, but maybe just a few more features

    Great program, seems to have a small delay, but still takes in every vibration. I'm sure if it's very accurate or not because there is no numeric value to see how well the iphone or itouch picked up the vibration. I'm hoping for an update where we can see numeric data. NICE JOB!
  • Needs tweeks

    I love this app and is very visualy apealing. But when phone is sat on a non moving surface one would think the lime would be straight.... Sure it looks "cooler" with a jittering line but I wish it didn't fake vibrations when there shouldt be any. Hopefully it's not my phone.... Also history would be nice.

  • Neat app

    App could be much more useful if there was an option to veiw history, also would be better if there was an option to change the sensativity of the accelerometer. Other than that it's a cool app
  • This is so cool!!!

    This is a very cool app and works extremely well. It is really sensitive and records even the smallest finger tap. The only thing that would make it better is if it could record the data, but otherwise great job!!! :D
  • Future feature ideas

    Nice application but is it too sensitive? Perhaps add a function that would allow you to 'zero out' the sensitivity to provide a flatline for starters. Maybe a slider adjustment for sensitivity settings? Add functionality to save an event and then give that event a name?
  • SUPER ACCURATE!!

    This is a very cool, and it works very well. this thing detects the slightest movements, it amazes me! One thing I do notice(which is done intentionally)is that the bar is always moving even the slightest bit even when there is no movement. But it is VERY accurate!
  • Very good idea, simple start, great potential

    Very simple cool app with loads of potential and uses. I would like to see a way to a stop the graph, save it, zoom in and out on the graph, and email the graph. Think about it, you are in an earthquake, and just so happen to have this a
  • Very smooth movement, very nicely done app.

    Very nicely done. Smooth movement. Did anyone notice that even when 100% motionless... the needle still jumps a little? And even when shaken violently... the needle never moves 'full screen'. Maybe a future release will have a 'calibration' button where we can adjust the motion ranges.
