A smartphone device can act as a basic seismometer to know whether the ground is really shaking!
No need of installing any app. A built in web browser is enough to do this job.
It can be checked on almost any smartphone that have inbuilt accelerometers and gyroscopes.
To try this,
Launch Google Chrome or the Safari browser on your mobile phone or tablet
Navigate to this page (You would see a continuously moving waveform)
Now if you slightly shake or tilt your mobile device, simulating seismic activity, the graph will capture these movements in real-time much like a seismograph and give a graphical view.
This can be helpful to detect an real shake of the earth during earthquakes!
