Read full descriptionHide full description
Aplicação que disponibiliza informação relativa à actividade sísmica. A informação sobre a sismicidade constante nesta APP é gerada pelo sistema de vigilância sísmica do IPMA, distribuído pelos Centros operacionais do Continente e dos Açores, com recurso à rede sísmica nacional instalada no Continente e nos arquipélagos dos Açores e da Madeira, a qual é complementada com estações sísmicas pertencentes a outra agências internacionais. Relativamente aos sismos com origem mais afastada do território nacional apenas é disponibilizada informação dos que são registados pela instrumentação da rede sísmica a operar em Portugal, tipicamente apenas os de magnitude maior que 5.0.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sismos@IPMA at none against EarthQuake+'s 3. Sismos@IPMA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
