Vibration Meter

vibration meter - light intensity meter - intensity - vibration calculator

vibration meter, also known as seismograph,

This app uses the phone sensors to measure vibration or the earthquake, and it shows a reference as a seism detector.

Some countries use Richter scale instead of Mercalli scale. The Richter scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, which defines magnitude as the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitude of the seismic waves to an arbitrary, minor amplitude.
