tricorder update
i like this tricorder app but can you update this with a few more features please it would make us star trek fans happyGrappo
Ambient Sound
Good looking app but really needs the ambient sound. I would not recommend to fellow trekkers until this is fixed.Watercrake
I don't understand some reviewers.
This is a toy, and it works great. Of course there's an app for making your phone into a tricorder to play with. It's this one. Why give it one star because it doesn't actually do genetic scanning, stupid?! A retina update would be peachy; otherwise this is great!Tucker Ryan
No Thanks
I just purchased this review and after about two minutes of playing with it I already want my dollar back. Only four of the buttons are tied to the tiny display and the sound effects remind me more of a cheesy cash register than anything from Star Trek. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't buy this app.Show lessPrinceAlberts
Just about right
Source: 'Star Trek - The Next Generation: Technical Manual' by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda. Published by Boxtree.
The Star Trek tricorder have two buttons in the top right area, which are always marked as "I" and "E" which stands for Internal and External. Pressing I allows the tricorder to scan by itself while pressing E allows the tricorder to use the starship's scanners. Why do this app have "X" and "E" button???? Comparing to the app 'Tricorder TR-580' by Matthias Schorer, which got it right, the iScanner Tricorder app got it wrong.
However the display on iScannerr Tricorder is better than Tricorder TR-580 becuase iScanner's display is faster and gives Star Trek like information, if somewhat limited to the same old inforrmation again and again and the use of the 'EMEG' button on iScanner is correct. Press it and it show a very fast (fake) uploading, althought never seen on Star Trek, is very much what it would be like if seen on the show. The EMEG button is better than I expected.
Library buttons again wrong, should be "I" and "E" not the "J" and "K" buttons on the app.
Needs a little more work to do but otherwise useful for downloading to your iPhone or iPod Touch and use during fancy dress parties as long as other people are not serious Star Trek fans and would not notice your app is bit wrong.
If the developer wish to ask me for more feedback and ideas, I would be happy to help out.Show lessMajor Eazy
Nice job!
Great app - nicely done!benleto
Awesome
You need to play with it to figure it out. It's an outstanding little app. Tap library then tap on "more select". Really well thought out. Thank you.Lt cmdr Data
False advertising
I wanted apps about the most underrated scientist of all time, namely, Nicola Tesla. This app was one of the apps that appeared when Tesla's name was put into the search in the app store. So what if a lot of what is shown on this phony tricorder comes fro Tesla's ideas. I never wanted a pretend game to be a pretend scientist. The putting of this under Tesla only to find it is a game is fine for those, really great as a matter of fact to stimulate the much needed imagination. All well and fine. But, to make anyone think one is going to actually learn more about Tesla, when all it is is a fancy Star Trek Game, is not only gross mirepresented advertising, but as William Shatner used to say to overzealous Star Trek fans: "Get a life!" All of you candy brained non-thinkers: Read all you can about Tesla, especially the autobiography of Tesla. Then you'll really be saying: "wow!"Show lessSpiritual Skies
iPad version will be great!
Love this app!!! .. can't wait for an iPad version that will take advantage of the iPad screen real estate :-)
Nice work Adam.splodgo
A plus
You can't buy a 99 cent piece of plastic half as awesome or entertaining as this. It is exactly what a toy should be. If some more functionality, like a scanning mode tied in to the camera, or a working decibel meter, was integrated, i would not complain. But I am not complaining anyways. I researched both prominent tricorder apps, and this one was the right choice. It looks, feels and sounds just right. I don't want a tricorder for a star trek fan, I want a tricorder for a starfleet officer.Show lessTp191
