What is the use? I spend maybe 20 seconds in the app and that’s all. It has little to offer, and the information provided doesn’t help because there is little to explain the charts. ### 4/5 — Gone a bit wild? *2024-03-25* Hi. I’ve been happily using this app for a while but suddenly my altitude maximum is showing 145,355 feet!! I’ve just returned from a holiday abroad (Sri Lanka) but I’m certain that the commercial airline never fly this high!! I cannot seem to correct or reset this maximum, apart from this, I’m happy. ### 5/5 — Makes science fun *2023-12-29* Easy to use. Information reliable ### 5/5 — works as intended for speed *2023-06-26, version 4.2.2* used it quickly to check our train speed. easy to use ### 2/5 — Bothersome *2023-04-20, version 4.2.2* Rating 2 stars because i kept getting asked to rate it before even using it. ### 5/5 — Good *2023-01-31* Good ### 2/5 — Bought for magnetometer. *2022-10-24, version 4.2.2* Bought for the magnetometer feature. Unfortunately it isn’t built into the Watch app. ### 4/5 — Good *2022-08-10* My snake mowed the lawn yesterday and this app helped my lizard open the fridge. But, did not really help the fish do the dishes. Should be a feature to help fish do the dishes. ### 1/5 — App charged me when I deleted it. *2022-08-07, version 4.2.2* I decided it was not worth paying for the ability to record the output of the app so I deleted it without approving that function, I was charged $3.99 when I deleted it. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2022-03-19, version 4.2.2* I really like this app— lots of useful functions. Particularly like the magnetometer and barometer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New update ruined it *2026-08-04, version 5.1* Ui changed for the worse and now all the ads are porn ### 1/5 — No speed *2026-02-16* Idea is good but no speed is recorded. ### 1/5 — phyphox is better *2025-02-20* phyphox is better ### 1/5 — Old app. Terrible interface *2024-05-31, version 4.2.2* I wish I had noticed the Developer does not keep this app current. The record function is clumsy and does not provide any expected record (playback or a proper display) Waste of money ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-05-27, version 4.2.2* The app would not give me any readings. It then prompted me to pay a one time fee of 4.99. After payment the app still does not work. It did when I first downloaded it. What a scam. ### 1/5 — Does not work well. Avoid *2023-11-18* Poor quality ### 1/5 — it doesn’t deserve to be downloaded *2023-09-14, version 4.2.2* it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-24, version 4.2.2* Speedometer hardly ever works so what is the point? ### 1/5 — Irreführende Beschreibung *2023-06-01* Ohne Bezahlung wird lediglich ein Höhenmesser zur Verfügung gestellt. In der Beschreibung steht zu inApp-Käufen, dass für die Aufnahmefunktion gezahlt werden muss, tatsächlich funktioniert die App im Sinne der beschriebenen Funktionen zur Ermittlung/Darstellung der Sensordaten nur nach Kauf, will aber gleich zu Beginn alle Zugriffe auf Kamera, Mikrofon, etc. ☹️ ### 1/5 — Lol *2023-01-06, version 4.2.2* At programming ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Muito útil *2026-08-23* Oti ### 5/5 — Nifty *2026-08-17* Thanks for this wonderful utility. I have been using for maybe 4-5 years or so. Every time I use it I mean to thank you, but I forget. This time I remembered. ### 5/5 — New 120 km speed limit *2026-07-27* ‘Gauges’ is very accurate in relationship to other traffic ### 5/5 — gauges saved my marriage and raised my kids *2026-04-03, version 4.2.2* thank you so much gauges! you bring light into my life and tell me how much in precise detail ### 5/5 — Recompensada 100% *2026-02-19, version 4.2.2* Muy preciso, y intuitivo ### 5/5 — Can’t say enough. *2026-02-07, version 4.2.2* Statistics at your fingertips. ### 5/5 — The Unknown?! *2025-11-26, version 4.2.2* Might have to unlock it to record some “research…”. ### 5/5 — Múltiples sensores muy eficaces. *2024-06-13, version 4.2.2* La APP proporciona mucha información y desbloquearla no supone gran cosa. ### 5/5 — cool *2024-04-28, version 4.2.2* i think it works ### 5/5 — So nice and simple *2024-02-28, version 4.2.2* Could you add the gyroscope value one day please? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
