  • Fun. Great to share with kids

    For the nerdy and dorky! Great to explain g forces, measure magnets, check altitude and explain vectors.
  • Used in GIS project

    Everyone was saying that they don’t have sensors available for iPhone. Determined to prove them wrong and not be forced to be led by someone with an android- I came across this app and it did the trick!
    I was able to sample my sound data, get my raw data ( surprise- yes it needs to be ‘clean’ up- duh) but my results were recorded.
    Thank you and credit will be given and hopefully used on other iPhones for those needed sensors !

  • Horrible. Doesn’t do the one thing I purchased it for—measure speed

    Wanted to use this app to see how fast I was going on the high-speed train. It doesn’t measure the one thing I purchased it for—measure speed. Why call it an accelerometer?

    Disappointing.
  • Altimeter setting

    Cool, but how do you set barometric pressure for the altimeter?
  • Orientation with respect to the vehicle

    This is more of a question, when driving and having your phone mounted does the app do any orientation calculations to assure we are getting gauge information with respect to the vehicle?

    Hello, and thanks for your feedback! In short, no. Everything you see is what the built-in sensors report, with no extra calculations. Best regards!
  • Speed data error in excel

    Speed record in saved excel spreadsheet shows error. Max number with my data is less than 20. What does this mean? Can you let me know when fix will be done?

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your feedback! Speed is recorded in meters/second. You can convert from that into the unit of your liking.
  • Privacy issues

    Doesn’t deactivate sensor usage after I exit app. Requires force close.
  • This could be so good

    Gauges seem fine but timestamps are not as accurate as stated in the discription! I ran six tests at different sampling periods for about ten seconds each. The actual periods were measured to be

    "1ms" -> 4.3 +/- 0.6 [ms]
    "10ms" -> 15.6 +/- 5.3 [ms]
    "50ms" -> 49.95 +/- 3.35 [ms]
    "100ms" -> 99.96 +/- 5.98 [ms]
    "250ms" -> 249.95 +/- 4.19 [ms]
    "500ms" -> 500.00 +/- 11.68 [ms]
    "1000ms" -> 1003.1 +/- 18.12 [ms]

    So the error does decrease for larger sampling rates but there is error associated with each timestamp. This makes it difficult to do any spectral analysis of the signal.

    I believe this to be a coding issue. This is good news because it may get fixed. I will hold on to this app in hopes that it does

    It was a shame that I had to pay 3 dollars in order to discover that the program does not actually get down to a resolution of 1ms.

  • Useless

    To adjust settings you need to restore all purchases

    Most information need adjustments
  • Weak

    Needs work to be a real app.
