iPhone 16e keine Barometeranzeige

Leider funktioniert beim IPhone 16e die Barometeranzeige nicht mehr, die App stürzt nach dem Aufruf der Barometeranzeige sofort ab.

M11-M33

on the record data (csv file), what does m11, m12,m13 actually mean?

Response from developer

Hello, these values represent the rotation matrix of the device, see this for more info: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremotion/cmattitude/1616139-rotationmatrix Thanks for your support.

Works as adevertized

This was the only app I found to easy capture the telemetry data I was looking for. I tried several other app export data was challenging, logs were in accurate. I have two suggestion, the app needs some documentation, specifically what all the data headers are. When I airdrop the data and open I in excel and there are tons on columns some of which I don’t know what they are.

Bien

Efficace. Il manque un enregistrement dans ICloud et
qu’est-ce -ce que c’est 3D Touch?

Great App!!!

I’ve used several sensor apps on iPhone, and this is my favorite. I like the intuitive interface and the ability to record for long periods. I’ve used it in many applications, including precision analysis of aircraft motion during test flights.

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review, so glad to hear how useful Sensor Play is out there.

Good app

Good app, would like to know what units the accelerometer data is reported in? Is it metric?

Awesome app

I found this app by coincidence and immediately downloaded it. As a private pilot I intend to use it as a tracking/ manouever recording tool. First tests indicate excellent functionality and also extremely good usability.

If I had one wish to the developer:
A time stamp button would make it a lot easier to find a specific action in the data analysis. This would be extremely beneficial and not to difficult to implement.

A second wish would be axis values in the live view.

And audio recording...:-)

Great app for recording and sharing multi-sensor data

Simple, easy to use. Automation is a nice feature. Would be great to have a trigger from the camera, is it possible/planned? Thanks!

Good but not perfect.

Works great on my iPhone 11 except for the following that I have found so far.

I set it to record for 45,000 seconds (750 minutes or 12.5 hours) and it shuts off at 6:00 hours.

Also, I set the multi sensor recording to trigger on a g level and it only triggers on -g levels on the 2 g scale. I flew my iPhone 11 on a Blue Origin flight and found this out the hard way.

Very Good but not complete !!

1) CMCalibratedMagnetic Field x, y, z are always zero (0), on iPhone 8+ and my iPad.
2) Though CMMagnetometer values are useful for somethings, CLHeadingComponent Values x, y, z (micro Tesla), are better for calculating stuff, IMHO,

CLHeading:
I believe, Represents a vector pointing to magnetic North.

Please fix, and add CLHeading Magnetic Data 🤓😎.

The best sensor data recorder!

Great and easy to use app for engineers, students, researchers and anyone obsessed with motion analysis!
I wish it worked with the screen locked and it could record the real-time location. (Perhaps it does, but couldn't figure out how)

Too bad

Iphone X's barometer cannot measure the pressure data. I have been lost my money.

No decibel

You should really add the decibel value!

Csv export seems buggy

Nice tool BUT the recording show in the life view different signals than in the csv recordings!

Sometimes gravity is incorporated and in the next time step it is not!

Otherwise it is a 3 -4 star rating

App works fine - impressive!

Does a nice job of displaying output of all the phones sensors. Easy to use. Straightforward menus. No errors yet.

Sensors Play vs Sensors Pro

I’m still trying to figure out the difference between the two app. I brought this one before noticing the other app. I like the darker blue background of Sensors Pro, is there a way to match that in Sensors Play? I don’t know, not that I can tell.

If it was clarified the difference between the two apps (see above) and if custom background colors/gradients were an option, that would make this a 5-star app!

Très bien

App très intéressante, il manque cependant les dixièmes ou centièmes de secondes pour mieux analyser les événements

Ok, i found it, it was just a matter of column width in excel

A bord d’un avion d’entraînement

Simple, pratique, efficace et performant 👍

(il manque peut-être des informations permettant de mieux caractériser la précision/qualité de la mesure GPS autre que le paramètre « confidence » oscillant entre « low » et « high »)

Barometric Height Surveys

I am undertaking an engineering investigation of a water pipeline through heavy rainforest. Although I can get OK GPS location fix of the route, I had not been able to get reasonable elevation fix using GPS due to the terrain and tree cover. Sensor Play has preformed brilliantly using a 2 station relative barometric elevation setup with an estimated accuracy of about +/- 1m over the alignment. The alternative survey was cost prohibitive. Sensor Play is a serious piece of kit for serious data collection. Thank you Philip Broder. Best $8 I have ever spent!

Awesome support!!

Phil was INCREDIBLY responsive to an issue regarding compatibility between Sensor Play, iPhone 7 and versions of iOS11. Ultimately we got the issue straightened out and I can continue playing around with the very cool tool he built. There are incredible possibilities with Sensor Play and exploring is most of the fun!!
