iPhone版ではRecordボタンが表示されますが、iPad版(iPad Air 4)では表示されないので、データをモニターすることしかできません。

### 5/5 — 훌륭한 앱

*2022-08-02, version 6.0.3*

스마트폰의 많은 센서를 정확하게 보고 기록하고 사용할 수 있어서 무척 유용합니다. 과학시험이나 메이커용으로도 사용하기 좋습니다. 좋은 앱 감사합니다.

### 3/5 — Crashes on New Entry

*2022-07-24, version 6.0.3*

Crashes everytime i start to open or create a new project!

Edit: Correction from 1 to 3 stars. App works now and doesn‘t crash anymore. But there is not much functionality: You cant even insert Sensor recordings or voice.

### 5/5 — Incredible

I wish I had known about this years ago. As an engineer I’ve been looking for ways to use my phone as a measurement instrument and this is it!

Get it and contribute to Arduino!

### 1/5 — 정말 좋다^^

*2023-05-19, version 6.1.0*

학교에서 깔아라고 해서 깔았는데 정말 좋은 거 같네요.하.하.하.

### 1/5 — A downgrade from google science journal

*2023-05-04, version 6.1.0*

I have been previously using SJ while still under google. It had a fluid and responsive UI and was pretty fast to start and start recording (3-4 seconds) mostly to get the right recording configs. Arduino science journal on the other hand absolutely tanks this as it takes upwards of 8 seconds to even open a project let alone start recording. It’s so slow it might as well be unusable.

I can only recommend the continued usage of google SJ even though it’s deprecated.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-03-22, version 6.0.6*

Adding sensors doesn’t work. App often crashes when trying to add sensors. Sensor selection menu doesn’t work. Sensors disappear. Unusable basically.

*2025-09-17, version 6.7.0*

5 out ot 5

### 5/5 — App interessante

*2025-05-01, version 6.6.0*

L’app consente di registrare e visualizzare il trend dei principali sensori del telefono. Ad esempio, è possibile registrare accelerazioni, orientamento, campo magnetico terrestre etc. Molto utile per esperimenti “casalinghi” e per comprendere fenomeni. Sarebbe utile poter selezionare un campionamento più veloce su alcune grandezze fisiche

### 5/5 — …
