I thoroughly enjoyed the app and but it wasn't precise ### 4/5 — Good app *2017-04-20* 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. ### 3/5 — It works but complicated *2015-04-23* 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 ### 4/5 — Good App *2014-05-01* 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. ### 4/5 — Good *2014-04-29* 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. ### 2/5 — Data Logging is NOT Included *2013-12-24, version 1.4* I only installed this app with the intension of datalogging. I'm pretty disappointed, but I'll get over it ### 4/5 — Great app *2013-06-18* Thanks for the app...its great!!incidentally can you record your observations in the app at different points of time??i'd be grateful if you made that possible... ### 3/5 — Decent *2013-05-06* 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. ### 3/5 — Works as advertised *2013-04-25* 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. ### 2/5 — Ashley & Zack *2013-04-25* 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. ### 3/5 — Quantifying physics *2013-04-25* 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. ### 3/5 — Decent work in device movement. *2013-04-15, version 1.4* Not yet specialized for a certain need, or a project. Not yet a product, but a nice proof of concept. ### 4/5 — Interesting *2013-04-11* Fun to mess with. I would like to be able to draw a graph of the magnitude of the acceleration over time though. ### 4/5 — simple and nice *2013-02-18* As others have mentioned, peak locking, and data logging would be really nice, and something is indeed strange going on when you change the orientation, but keep the orientation constant and it works wonderfully as expected. good app. ### 3/5 — Needs more features *2012-12-05* This is a fun app, but needs more features to be more than a passing fancy. It needs: 1) recording capability 2) peak detection 3) X, Y and Z axis numerical separation. ### 4/5 — Just what I was looking for *2012-12-01* Works as advertised, easy to use. I'd love it if data logging was added. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Difficult and Not Intuitive *2017-04-20* 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. ### 1/5 — AccelMeter Review *2014-04-25, version 1.4* 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 ### 1/5 — It is. So stupid *2013-03-07, version 1.4* It's just a little arrow moving around. ### 1/5 — Accelerometer *2013-02-21, version 1.4* Almost useless with no real way to read what the acceleration is while placing yourself or phone under conditions to monitor. Needs peak and graph/record over time function to have any practical use. All the function is possible just need to expand the code a bit more. ### 1/5 — Broken by update and now kludged *2012-06-10* Was good, reporting about 1.02g in all directions, now reports whacky figures between 1.0 and 1.7g depending on the orientation of the phone - when held totally steady - because the vector maths is seemingly wrong and apparently totally untested. UPDATE; Developer is seemingly unable to fix his or her silly code so now it's been hard-coded to always show 1.0g REGARDLESS of the acceleration! Why would you bother!! Also the review button STILL takes you to reviews of some totally different app (MagnetMeter?)! Why must developers inflict their stupid updates on us! The developer is also totally unresponsive to feedback even after a month of waiting. :-( Having moaned about all that; the app looks great, pretty arrow! :-( ### 1/5 — es WAR gut... *2012-03-15* ...doch seit den letzten updates funktioniert WEDER der rote, NOCH der grüne knopf auf meinem iPod Touch 2G!!! Vorher war es toll. Auch ohne diese (aus meiner sicht unnötigen) menüs! ### 2/5 — Confusing to figure out *2019-04-23* 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. ### 2/5 — Good But Confusing *2019-04-18* 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. ### 2/5 — Decent *2017-04-20, version 1.6* 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. 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 suggest a tutorial on how to use the app. ### 2/5 — Good but confusing *2017-04-20* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice app *2016-01-26* Good application ### 5/5 — 추천합니다^^ *2013-11-17* 3d표현이 새롭네요*^^* ### 5/5 — AccelMeter *2013-09-22, version 1.4* This app is very useful. ### 5/5 — Den oudda den *2013-05-14, version 1.4* Just what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — wirklich nettes Spielzeug... *2012-11-13* Ich finde das app wirklich gut - und dazu auch noch kostenlos - einfach top! ### 5/5 — Perfect. *2012-09-07* This fits all of my needs. Please don't give a bad review if you don't know what you really are looking for. ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-01-24* One of my favorite apps on my 3GS. It really exposes the accelerometer in the iPhone. It's great for measuring g-forces in a car. However, I wish they would update it to support the gyroscope in iPhone 4/4S. ### 5/5 — Nice *2010-10-05* Works well - very clean high quality app ### 5/5 — Top! *2009-12-19* Sehr genaue Messung, reagiert extrem schnell auf Änderungen. Macht Spass! Interessant auch die G-Kräfte im Flugzeug oder bei einer Vollbremsung im Auto :-) ### 4/5 — Intéressant *2021-10-14* Belle appli, mais je n’y comprends pas grand chose pour le moment. Le manuel est trop succinct. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
