About

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.

Highlights
  • Measure floor vibration
  • Record vibration data
  • Evaluate vibration levels
  • Compare amplitudes to criteria
  • Uses device accelerometer
Read full description

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.

About

TremorGauge

Features
Read full description

TremorGauge is 100% software, using your iPhone's built-in accelerometer — no external hardware required. TremorGauge turns your iPhone into a real-time vibration reference meter for relative equipment and surface checks. Built on the iPhone accelerometer, it estimates vibration intensity in mm/s² with a clean color-coded gauge. KEY FEATURES • Real-time vibration magnitude in mm/s² (millimeters per second squared) • Color-coded gauge: green (still), yellow (light), purple (strong) • Live X / Y / Z axis acceleration values in g • One-tap baseline calibration (subtract ambient noise) • Audible peak alarm with adjustable threshold • Fully offline — no network, no tracking, no ads USE CASES • Test machine and equipment vibration • Troubleshoot car / vehicle vibration issues • Compare floor, desk, or furniture vibration changes • Audiophile speaker / driver resonance test • Relative shake awareness • Physics demonstrations PRO FEATURES (optional subscription) • 30-second rolling history curve with peak markers • 100Hz higher-rate sampling mode (5x faster than free) • Persistent baseline that survives app restart • CSV export of full session (timestamp, X, Y, Z, magnitude) • Custom peak alert threshold LIMITATIONS The iPhone accelerometer is not a laboratory-grade instrument. TremorGauge is designed for relative measurements and general awareness, not for safety, regulatory, or risk-monitoring decisions. For calibrated work, use a dedicated piezoelectric or MEMS accelerometer system. PRIVACY All sensor data is processed locally. No audio, video, or location is collected. No analytics, no ads, no account. SUBSCRIPTION INFO • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to App Store → Account → Subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Structural Floor Vibration at none against TremorGauge's 2. TremorGauge's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
