Map links are compatible with every device that has an internet browser and dedicated map apps.

Unfortunately you can not. It is prohibited by Apple for security and privacy reasons. If any change occur, this function will be available.

Seismometer is a scientific equipment that can measure earthquakes. Their intensity of movement or magnitude.

Seismometer app is designed to measure intensity of movement by using device's integrated accelerometer and gyroscope.

A special algorithm translates movement into the 4 widely used earthquake scales.

A special designed algorithm translates movement into the 4 widely used earthquake scales. USGS, Shindo, Liedu and Mercalli.

As a safety feature that can be handy in a place with a lot of earthquakes. First an earthquake occurs and then you can hear it in the news or websites.

First press the second top left button in the main view
  • Select Scale
  • Press "?" button to read about the specific scale and its levels of intensity
  • Press "Test" to see and hear the alarm
  • Adjust your desired alarm level of intensity by using "+" & "-" buttons
  • It is recommended - but not obligatory - to enable airplane mode and disable wifi and bluetooth
  • Leave device on a steady surface like the floor
  • Press Play button to start
Do not use or touch your device as you will trigger the alarm

Of course it can! Can give you crucial seconds of action between the event of an earthquake and the realization of an earthquake. Experts say that 3-5 seconds of action can be the difference between life and death when a vast earthquake occurs.

Are earthquake intensity scales used by major institutes to monitor the movement and the results of an earthquake, used in various parts of the globe.

Richter scale represents earthquake's magnitude and it can not be measured by using accelerometer and gyroscope. Needs very specific equipment and expensive one. Also magnitude represents the power of an earthquake and it is crucial for scientific purposes only.

Intensity movement scales are human oriented and easier to understand and use.

Yes. Any movement of the device will be translated into an earthquake intensity movement and will trigger a false alarm.

No. Any movement of the device will be translated into an earthquake intensity movement and will trigger a false alarm.

Be aware that leaving a device with display on, will consume too much battery in little time. An iPhone 12 Pro will take approximately 8 hours to be empty.

Your floor is the best place (be careful not to step on it). Also a heavy furniture with no moving surface like a heavy table.

No, not at the moment

Yes you need in order to get map functions, location address and to share your or any location with others.

Yes, and you will have functions working like compass, coordinates, altitude and speed. In an airplane you do not need internet connection, but be aware that wifi & bluetooth needs to be on, and in some cases cellular reception (not 4-5G) needs to be on to accurately show altitude and speed. Use it at your own risk as iTools will not be responsible for any airplane or other machinery equipment malfunction.
