User reviews

Meh.

When my device is s completely still, the shindo scale says 3. And on the Mercalli scale, it says IV. So please work on the sensitivity of the detections.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Seismometer uses highly sensitive phone motion sensors calibrated with science-based and official reference values, so even very small vibrations can register when a device appears still. For the most accurate results, the phone should be placed flat on the floor (be aware that even wooden floors can transmit vibrations) and left completely untouched, ideally while charging. We’re continuing to refine sensitivity handling to make readings more intuitive in everyday use.

Good but drains battery fast

Good app, but drains battery fast. It would be nice if this can run as background app so that other work is not interrupted

Pls add Richter scale.

I think this app is mid, because there is no Richter scale, which makes it harder to use than other apps, and I put my gadget on the bed and it kept showing me there was an earthquake every time. On the ground, it showed me the same results. It was not shaking at all. What plans do you have to fix this?

Helps a lot after Bangkok earthquake

Really gives me peace of mind when i sleep. Easy to use and also really nice that you can change the sensitivity. Youre a life saver.

It was great, but always kept sending me a two magnitude earthquake

Like every time I would set it off it would show a two magnitude earthquake, and Flagstaff usually gets Shindo three upper

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your rating! Seems there is slight movement of the surface you have it on. Try the floor. Movements are defined from each scale in the form of acceleration.

FAQ

What does the Seismometer app do?

The Seismometer app turns your iPhone or iPad into a sensitive seismograph. It allows you to detect and monitor seismic vibrations in real-time, providing a window into the Earth's movements.

What are the key features of Seismometer?

Key features include real-time monitoring of seismic activity with high accuracy, customizable sensitivity levels to adjust detection, instant alert notifications for significant seismic events, and an intuitive user-friendly interface for easy data interpretation.

Is Seismometer free to use?

The app is free to download and use, offering in-app purchases. This allows users to access advanced features or unlock additional functionalities beyond the basic monitoring capabilities.

What can Seismometer be used for?

It serves as an educational tool for learning about seismology and Earth's geology, a practical tool for home monitoring of vibrations from machinery or construction, and an interactive way to explore environmental movements.

How does Seismometer work?

The app leverages your device's built-in accelerometer to capture and analyze seismic data. This allows it to provide accurate and reliable readings of vibrations occurring in your environment.
