App is not functional

Purchased app for a dollar then realized it doesn’t work. I cannot click the record button or anything else in the app. Waste of money

Says it collect data, but delivers something a little different

1) App Does not seem to show up in Settings.
2) App is not collecting GPS data.
3) App output CVS data has unnecessary data:
Want as follows:
Timestamp, Accel_X, Accel_Y, Accel_Z, Gyro_X, Gyro_Y, Gyro_Z, Mag_X, Mag_Y, Mag_Z, Lat, Long

Gyro should be rads/sec.

Response from developer

Please make sure that location services are enabled for the app. Also, feel free to modify the data in the CSV file to units of your liking.

Good

Interested in the magnetometer more than the rest. Seems to be quite accurate apart from the Y axis. This has a scaling problem. Worth 4 stars.

No Lat/Long in output file

Useless DataCollection without positional lat long!!!

Response from developer

Please make sure that location services are enabled for the app.

Sample rate to high

App has potential but the sample rate is too high, will produce large amount of data. Need to be able to select a sample rate of say once a minute to once an hour to get a sensible data quantity in a day to see trends.

No Data File

This app does not email the data file nor put it in iTunes using iOS 8. I have an old phone still using iOS7 and had no problem. In addition, the developer has disappeared along with his data file. Other than that, the app is exactly what I wanted.

Response from developer

Please make sure your phone is configured with a Mail account in order to email the CSV file.

You Made my day

Man, i suggest you to use the same export format of pocket imu app. It's easier to process with a spreadsheet and to produce graph for engineering paper! You have no idea how important is this app!

Wrong results

The magnetometer data is wrong compare to three other apps I used.

Perfect

It's good to see the numbers behind the sensors. The potential uses are amazing.

Geeky fun app

This is a fun way to exploit the sensor information in my iPhone. The latest update increased the sampling rate to 500 Hz; however, the magnetometer appears to be off by a decimal point. The x,y,z components are hundreds of uT where it should be tens of uT.
