VR Mobile connects to any Vibration Research hardware device for live vibration test monitoring via an iPhone or iPad. It also contains engineering calculators, a light strobe, a noise SPL meter, and an accelerometer--all from your mobile device! FEATURES: Connect to the ObserVR1000 dynamic signal analyzer and data acquisition (DAQ) device - Set up inputs and record & monitor data - Live FFT Analysis - Use your mobile device's camera to record video in sync with your ObserVR1000 and/or GoPro® camera(s) Remotely control vibration tests running in the VibrationVIEW software - Start/stop tests - View graphs - Adjust amplitude and frequency VR Library - Complete courses, take quizzes and earn certificates on VR University - Browse articles, case studies, engineering tools, research papers, and more - Watch video tips and tech talks - Gain access to VR product manuals Max acceleration calculator - Calculate the maximum acceleration a shaker can output based on system mass Unit converter - Convert acceleration, force, mass, velocity, displacement, and more Sine calculator - Calculate acceleration, frequency, velocity, and displacement based on sinusoidal motion Shock calculator - Select the impact type (plastic or elastic) and the pulse type, and the shock calculator will calculate the remaining two values given two inputs: acceleration, impact time, velocity change, and height change Noise meter - Measure the minimum, current, and maximum decibels (dB) from your mobile device's microphone Accelerometer - Measure the minimum, current, and maximum acceleration in each of your mobile device's accelerometer axes - Zero-out acceleration to calibrate for an uneven surface Strobe light - Strobe your device's screen and/or flash LED from 1 to 30 Hz; strobing helps display objects vibrating too fast for the eye to see VR products - View VR's vibration test controllers and dynamic signal analyzers - Watch YouTube videos from VR - Visit VR's website - Browse VR's LinkedIn page
Vibration Meter

Vibration Meter & EMF Meter turns your iPhone into two measuring tools: a vibration meter (seismograph) based on the accelerometer and a magnetic field detector based on the magnetometer. VIBRATION METER - Live readings at 100 samples per second with a gauge and real-time waveform - Peak, average and minimum values - Units: m/s², g or mm/s² - Check washing machines, cars, appliances, floors and machinery EMF METER - MAGNETIC FIELD DETECTOR - Magnetic field strength with X, Y and Z axes - Units: µT, mG or G - Zero mode: set the current field as a baseline and see only the change - Find magnets and see how the field changes near devices and iron objects RECORD AND ANALYZE - Record sessions up to 10 hours - Results with duration, peak, average and minimum - History with a chart for every recording - PDF report ready to share - Raw CSV data with real timestamps; long recordings are split into hourly files in one ZIP FREE AND PRO Live measurements and 3 recordings are free. Pro unlocks unlimited recordings, full history with charts, PDF reports and CSV export. Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Your recordings stay on your device. NOTE Readings come from the built-in iPhone sensors and depend on the device model. The app is not a certified measuring instrument. EMF mode measures magnetic fields with the magnetometer; it does not measure radio-frequency (RF) radiation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VR Mobile at none against Vibration Meter's 2. VR Mobile also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
