Structural Floor Vibration vs Vibration Detector
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Structural Floor Vibration
This utility app measures and records floor vibrations using your device's accelerometer. It helps users evaluate vibration levels and compare them against established engineering criteria for steel-framed structures.
- Measure floor vibration
- Record vibration data
- Evaluate vibration levels
- Compare amplitudes to criteria
- Uses device accelerometer

Structural Floor Vibration uses the built-in accelerometer to measure and record floor vibration. This app allows users to evaluate vibration levels and compare amplitudes with criteria published in AISC Design Guide 11: Vibration of Steel-Framed Structural Systems Due to Human Activity.
Vibration Detector
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Vibration Detector utilizes the device’s accelerometer to measure and record vibrations or seismic activity. It can function as a vibration meter, seismograph, or seismometer. Using MEMS sensor technology, the app captures real-time vibration data across three axes (X, Y, Z) and applies sensor fusion to remove gravitational components for accurate measurements. Core Functionality • Timestamped vibration recording • Configurable logging and alert thresholds • Audible alerts on threshold exceedance • Battery-efficient dim mode • Lightweight implementation Measurement & Units Supports multiple units including G-force (g), in/s, and mm/s with instant conversion. Dual Threshold System Separate thresholds allow independent control of data logging and alert triggering. Data Logging Events are stored with timestamps and can be managed or cleared easily. Stealth Mode Fully disables screen output for long-term monitoring while maintaining data collection. UI Design Bottom-aligned controls ensure unobstructed data visualization. Workflow Mount device → Configure thresholds → Start monitoring → Analyze logged data

Verdict
Structural Floor Vibration and Vibration Detector are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
