Confusing to figure out

Once I was able to figure out how to use the app and find my acceleration it was fine. But it gave me my acceleration in g’s so I had to do some math to get my actual acceleration.

Good But Confusing

The app gave me my acceleration, but it was not clear with how to find your acceleration using the app. This app is good if you know how to use it, but I didn’t and could not find any directions. I had to get help just to find out how to see my acceleration. Not beginner friendly.

Decent

We had an iPhone 5 SE. We tilted the phone to test it, we expected it to do what it did although it wasn't as accurate. It was relatively difficult to use, and I suggested to Torio on how to use the app.We had an iPhone 5 SE.

Difficult and Not Intuitive

I couldn't figure out how to use the app let alone test it because there were no directions and the app is not intuitive. I tried to walk and measure my acceleration but it was difficult to understand the numbers given. Maybe an instructional video would me helpful.

Good but confusing

I have an iPhone 5s, and I tested this app by walking around a room while increasing and decreasing my speed. It did not work as expected because I expected it to be easier to use. It would have been a lot better if there was a tutorial or instructions.

App

My teacher (kwetee wetee) recommended this app and it was fun! I thoroughly enjoyed the app and but it wasn't precise

Good app

I like the app however....If the app gave you a place to calculate your weight and the app calculated the acceleration when you open the app it would earn my 5th star.

It works but complicated

At first when I used this app I had no idea how to use it. We would walk back and forth and nothing would show acceleration. This is because the app shows the absolute acceleration when it is first opened. Once I figured this out everything worked fine. The only thing that would make this app better is if it gave you a walk through of the app when you first opened it. Also if they labeled the buttons on the app it would help. Other than that it works great

Good App

I downloaded AccelMeter with an iPhone. I tested it by sprinting around in an enclosed space while slowing down and speeding up. It works very well, just as I expected. It was a little hard to learn how to use at first, but it got much easier once I got the hang of it. If I could change one thing, I would definitely make an option to find the maximum difference in degrees--if there's an option for max acceleration, then there should be one for this as well. Despite this, I would definitely recommend this app over other similar ones--AccelMeter is much easier to figure out.

Good

It's tough for some at first but once you get the lowest things is extremely helpful and will assist you in a scientific inquiries.

AccelMeter Review

I could tell that the app was working when we ran at different speeds but there were no instructions so the app was very confusing

Data Logging is NOT Included

I only installed this app with the intension of datalogging. I'm pretty disappointed, but I'll get over it

AccelMeter

This app is very useful.

Just what I was looking for.

Decent

I have an iPhone 4. I tested the app by dropping the phone and trying to see what reading it got for the acceleration (as it was measured in g, the reading should have been close to 1 g). It works as advertised as far as I can tell, but it is not very intuitive or user friendly as it is hard to read the acceleration if the phone is moving. That is the only feature I would add to this app. I would still recommend this app over sparkvue, which is more complex and confusing.

Works as advertised

This app was very compatible with my iPhone 4. I think that this app works well as advertised and has a somewhat good interface. However, the app says accelmeter and this app measures the amount of g force the phone experiences and has no way of recording data. Accelmeter could have been easier to use and sometimes the buttons to change the type of acceleration were tough to click. I would really like to see a feature in which one can, 1) record their data and 2) measure their velocity and not only the amount of g force the phone experiences. That being said, this is the only app i've used to try to measure forces/velocity/acceleration. All in all I would give this app a mediocre 3/5 stars and probably around a 70 out of 100.

While measuring this app, I used the iPhone 4s. The app itself is just incredibly inaccurate, making the app itself completely obsolete. The data isn't recorded anywhere, so there is no way to remember what has just been recorded. The format of the app is not very user-friendly, not really explaining how to use its different functions. Overall, it does not live up to the function that it should, and I would definitely not recommend the app for measuring data.

Quantifying physics

I downloaded this app for physics class and I have an iPhone 4S. The app was initially intuitive but soon gave us challenges. We tested the accelerometer while walking, running, and jogging in a circle. The numbers seem to have been generated accurately, however since the app does not record or graph the results, we found it difficult to use. Overall a fine app but with no practical use.

Decent work in device movement.

Not yet specialized for a certain need, or a project. Not yet a product, but a nice proof of concept.

Interesting

Fun to mess with.
I would like to be able to draw a graph of the magnitude of the acceleration over time though.
