After reviewing a geeky app: Elements yesterday, we are back to having some fun for today’s review. You would have probably seen this app-Seismograph Touch, while you were searching for Elements yesterday.
Seismograph Touch is a great fun app from one of the most widely known developers of the symbian fifth edition platform-Offscreen Technologies. The app does an excellent job of faking the functionality of a seismograph using the on-board accelerometer of 5800.
Time and again, Offscreen Technologies keep throwing at us well designed apps, some educational (like Elements reviewed yesterday), some very functional (like Strobe Touch), some purely entertaining (games like Solo Noble, Fifteen etc) and with Seismograph Touch they are tickling our funny bones. This app basically uses the onboard accelerometer to measure movement and displays the detected movements in a classic seismograph.
As you may have guessed it, this is no real seismograph by any standards and doesn’t measure and record motions of the ground nor it shows any readings based on the Richter scale as such. The can be used at best at a party table to fool your non-symbian friends with the supposed seismograph functions of this app. Since the app is very well designed and does a good job of detecting the motion and representing it in a seismograph, some of your gullible friends might actually fall for it.
And as always with accelerometer based apps, please have a firm hold on your 5800s while you are trying this app out, lest you ending up making a fool of yourself instead of fooling your friends!
This fun app can be downloaded for free from the ovi web store (remember to sign-in) and ovi client on your 5800s (easier).

Hey!! none of the links to the OVI store for apps work in any article posted on this site – the ovi site says:
Sorry, this item is no longer available.

So I always have to do a search for it manually. Somebody please fix this problem!!!
