Ride Meter measures elevator ride quality with your iPhone sensors. Results are reference values, not a certified inspection or a substitute for maintenance work.
No. It is not a calibrated instrument. Values follow the idea of the ISO 18738 method and the Smooth / Noticeable / Worth reporting bands are this app's own reference scale.
Hand movement is far larger than elevator vibration. The app checks the noise floor for 2 seconds and asks you to place the phone on the floor.
Ride detection needs the barometer. On a device without one the app says so and cannot record rides.
