I don't think it's sensitive enough - pics

I gave iSeismometer a try using my bare naked iPhone 5s after removing it from it's aftermarket protective case.

I put the iPhone right on top of my Left speaker and cranked up AC/DC Back In Black to volume levels that would annoy most people, including me. It barely registered on the heavy drum beats.

I also tried various other tunes and placement including the wood floor in front of the speakers, on the equipment shelf, on the amp, on the DAC, etc.

IMHO, it appears that the App isn't sensitive enough to view the effects of vibration control (or lack of) in most home audio systems but it works for it's intended purpose for earthquakes. If I place the iPhone on my desk and shake the desk slightly to simulate an earthquake, it registers on screen nicely.

The first screen shot image is with the iPhone on my Left speaker cranking out Back in Black by AC/DC. The second screen shot image is with the iPhone on my desk as I shake the desk.
