Might be useful if ...

Looks to be a useful app except seems to crash when exporting to local notes file or to OneDrive.

Smooth like butter

Truly is a beauty. Good UI, good raw sensory data. Csv output is nice, although wish there was a configurable polling interval.

Does what it says - Perfect!

Nice tool for seeing raw data from some of your phone’s sensors.

Keyboard bug on settings page.

Does not function on iPhone SE

May windows are not proportional so you can’t tap the record button and when you go to settings and try to type you can get out of keyboard mode to save and continue, it has been rendered useless on my phone

Nice app and nice clean interface

Great app with some great features and nice smooth and easy to use interface! One thing I have noticed is that when recording the data , the logging seems to stop when the screen is locked. Would be useful if it could continue regardless of screen lock or not.
