## What is Lab4U?

Lab4U is an educational app that allows you to experiment with biology, physics and chemistry in a fun and easy way, transforming the way science is learned and taught. With Lab4U you will experiment in real time using the different sensors of your device, such as the camera, microphone, motion sensor, and others, turning your phone into a powerful scientific tool.
Through our Inquiry-Based Learning, with Lab4U you will explore and analyze images of nature with Lab4Biology experiments, determine the color and concentration of chemical reactions with Lab4Chemistry experiences, and analyze the force and acceleration of a moving object with the experimentation activities offered by Lab4Physics. Find each of these contents in the Labs section of the app.
Tools and experiments at Lab4U are aligned to the educational curriculum and thus carry out incredible, entertaining and deep learning experiences that will enhance the development of scientific thinking, preparing the talents that the 21st century requires.

### 5/5 — Hands-on STEM experiments

*2026-01-25*

This app allows you to use built-in smartphone sensors to run experiments inside and outside the classroom. The accelerometer for physics and a digital colorimeter that uses the camera of the phone to calculate the concentration of a colored solution.

### 1/5 — Account required... doesn't work landscape..

*2024-06-15, version 3.2.5*

Yet another collection broker
Account required... 
and after years , still doesn't work landscape..

### 2/5 — Just no

*2023-04-08, version 3.0.2*

More demand than service to customers, IMHO. Developer responses to comments look disappointing.

### 5/5 — Just what I’ve been looking for

*2019-04-11*

This app makes data collection easy and fun. Simulation games are one thing but kinesthetic learning brings labs and gaming together. I have not done many of the games yet, but the tools themselves are worth it.

### 1/5 — No se puede iniciar sesión

*2018-11-03, version 2.97.2*

No se puede ni iniciar sesión, ni crear una cuenta

### 5/5 — No inicia arreglado 👌🏼

*2018-02-21, version 2.91*

No permite crear cuanta sale error”no hay conexión a internet “ todo el rato

### 2/5 — Needs an account

*2018-02-05, version 2.91*

Not sure why we need to create an account to use the app.  Not interested in having yet another username/password to remember.

### 2/5 — Useless

*2018-01-30, version 2.91*

Who though about the idea to pay monthly for an app ? Even if the app is well built, there's not much on it and the experiments are pointless. Don't buy

### 3/5 — Need a quick win

*2018-01-29*

It’s a great story/idea.

I didn’t get any quick wins out of it. Just barriers and slides to flick through.

**Developer response:** Hi, 
This is Komal from Lab4U. Thank you very much for your feedback and comment. I am sorry you didn't get any quick wins out of it. Lab4Physics was designed for students, teachers and science lovers who wish to experiment using the built-in sensors in a smartphone. We have a teacher portal with additional content for a physics class or detailed experiment which you could try if you are interested. 
If there is any other question you have, please do not hesitate in asking us. 
Happy experimenting. Best regards, 
Komal

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2018-01-26, version 2.91*
