## Description

Seismometer turns your iPhone or iPad into a real-time seismograph, delivering live seismic activity with high accuracy. It offers customizable sensitivity and instant alert notifications, so you’re always aware of significant ground movement.

Educational and practical uses: ideal for students and educators to learn about seismology and Earth’s geology, as well as home monitoring for vibrations from machinery or traffic. Built on your device’s accelerometer, Seismometer provides a user-friendly interface to visualize vibrations and explore Earth’s movements.

## Review summary

The app is easy to use with adjustable sensitivity and offers peace of mind for some users, but it suffers from serious reliability issues: frequent false alarms, failure to alert during real earthquakes, and a lack of critical scales like Richter or Mercalli. Users also report limited, non-live notifications (often only once daily) and confusing setup for filtering stronger quakes. Support and internet connectivity complaints exist in some reviews. Overall sentiment is mixed: positive on usability, but problematic in accuracy and alerting, with key feature requests unanswered.

### Pros

- Adjustable sensitivity / ability to change sensitivity
- Easy to use
- Provides peace of mind for some users

### Cons

- Unreliable detections with frequent false alarms and failure to alert during real earthquakes
- Missing scales (no Richter; requests for Mercalli)
- Alerts are not timely (limited or daily notifications, no live alerts)
- Setup/configuration is confusing or difficult to tailor to filter stronger quakes
