It would be useful to have some control over the following sensitivity and color filtering. It should be straight forward not to lose a red dot moving over a white background. ### 2/5 — No useful data export *2021-10-09, version 3.1.2* There is no csv or any other useful data export. Useless for school experiments! ### 3/5 — Good for teaching physics *2019-06-19, version 3.1.1* Only issue is that tracking seems too sensitive and loses the object very easily. If I input position manually every few frames I can get nice plots to analyse. ### 4/5 — Easy-to-use *2018-11-18, version 3.0.5* I’m a chemistry teacher who uses many Vernier products in class and I also coach pole vault. I started using this with my athletes to analyze their run so I can show them what I see by eye. I just really wish we could change the axis options as x velocity vs x position would help show them more accurately the set-up at take-off. This would greatly improve efficiency and effective coaching as I need to export into the graphical analysis app. This change would speed up my analysis! As others mention, the tracking feature doesn’t work well for me either as I’m analyzing running mechanics. ### 2/5 — My Opinion *2018-03-12, version 3.0.5* This app is a useful tool when conducting experiments, but doesn’t create data tables.. ### 4/5 — Great app for $5, but also needs (free) Graphical Analysis app *2017-10-15, version 3.0.4* Getting accurate results requires that you know what you’re doing, but if you do, then it’s great. The auto tracking is meh, but manually adding data points is quick and easy. Unfortunately, analyzing the data in this app is crap. Instead, download Vernier’s free Graphical Analysis app and import the data into that. Once the data is there, you can view x and y position and velocity data as well as do curve fitting. All in all, well worth the money for a physics classroom. ### 4/5 — Spitzen App, aber leider wird der Appname falsch angezeigt *2017-03-09, version 3.0.4* Bitte den Fehler beheben. ### 4/5 — Schöne App *2017-02-25, version 3.0.4* Nützliche App. Nur leider ist der Name "kaputt", statt dem Namen der App anzuzeigen, steht nur etwas wie "$ Product..." da. ### 4/5 — Sehr gut... *2016-10-12, version 3.0.3* ... gemacht. Ersetzt bei mir sehr teure Fahrbahnen, Sensoren und PCS im Physikunterricht. Funktionsweise ist schnell erklärt und die Schüler können selbst Videos aufnehmen und analysieren. Leider sind Graphen nicht skalierbar, so dass z.B. eine Kreisbahn als Ellipse erscheint. Hier bitte nachbessern! ### 1/5 — Not easy to use *2016-09-25, version 3.0.3* Son was suggested to use this app for a physics experiment. It was difficult to use, has very poor documentation of how to use and he basically had to plot all the data in excel to generate the graphs he needed for his experiment. Do not recommend this app! ### 4/5 — Indispensable App for Physics Teachers *2016-07-31, version 3.0.3* As a middle school science teacher in an iPad school, this app has been very useful. Capturing data is a snap (use a iPad camera stand) and analyzing it is instantaneous (the App does the math). Students can focus quickly on what the charts "say," rather than spend hours trying to make charts. The only downside (4 stars, not 5) is that the timer cannot be set to 0.00 sec at the start of the action. There are times when it would be helpful to be able to start the timer with the first marking dot. ### 1/5 — object tracking in ios9 *2015-10-07, version 3.0.2* object tracking no longer works in ios 9 - unable to switch back to menu to select object once circle size changed ### 1/5 — Complete rubbish *2015-10-06, version 3.0.2* Does nothing. Dont load! What a nuisance. ### 1/5 — Bugs need fixing *2015-10-03, version 3.0.2* The newest update has several bugs which make the app unusable. When you move the selector around the video controls disappear and cannot be brought back up. Please fix! ### 3/5 — Bugs in Newest Update *2015-09-30, version 3.0.2* When this app works well, it is great. However, in the newest up date, it sometimes becomes impossible to get the video controls back after they disappear. I've even had the circle for placing tracking dots disappear a few times. When this happens, there is nothing to do except restart the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 一点也不好用 *2025-05-11* 千万别下载，白花38元，一点也不好用，只能得出图像形状，不能调节坐标，不能使用数据运算，啥啥也不好用，鸡肋，差评差评差评！！！！ ### 1/5 — Poor app *2023-12-14, version 3.1.2* Very hard to use, expensive for what? Overall a mid product and not worth my money ### 1/5 — 骗钱的软件 *2020-06-03* 别买，骗钱的 ### 1/5 — Scaling and timing issues *2019-10-30, version 3.1.1* Fine if the app were free, but pretty unacceptable issues for a paid app. This app seems pretty easy to use which is great, but the inability to set the scale to something other than 1 m makes it very inflexible. You can’t really investigate what is happening if you are investigating anything smaller than a meter, and if you are looking at things much larger you can only set a scale of 1m which increases the uncertainty of the measurements. Furthermore, there is not an ability to do time delay which makes this even less useful. You should be able to set the time origin in sync with the first video analysis point. These things really need to get fixed. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2018-08-24, version 3.0.5* Trying to use any video than the example videos and this app crashes every single time immediately. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2018-07-27, version 3.0.5* Really old tech here. Doesn’t easily work - maybe on super simple applications like the ball drop example. The tracking is not usable for anything beyond the simple examples shown for a basic lab experiment. ### 1/5 — Crashes on the iPhone X *2018-02-23, version 3.0.5* Very disappointed ### 1/5 — "Object lost" all the time! Garbage! *2017-09-04, version 3.0.4* Don't waste your money ### 1/5 — Language *2017-08-30* How to change the language ### 1/5 — Terrible and NOT helpful at all *2017-01-02, version 3.0.4* Please fix and do not buy ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 紫竹g11学生实名评分 *2024-05-28* 好用！ 对于physcis 1 final pbl ### 5/5 — 非常好用的教学软件！ *2020-09-02* 非常好用的教学软件！ ### 5/5 — Fantastic the Best for teaching physics *2018-07-12, version 3.0.5* Tracking need to be done with a special care. Make video that way you have high contrast between tracking object and the background ### 5/5 — Cool good app worth $5 *2018-02-05, version 3.0.5* Actually very good! This app has very unique features I thought a mobile device couldn’t do! I could recommend to be able to add things the the tracking but it looks like you can draw if you track it on your finger! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2014-10-01, version 3.0.1* Automatic object tracking of objects is amazing. I no longer have to spend 10 minutes adding points to my videos. Plus it has experiment renaming! What more could you want? ### 5/5 — Excelente *2014-02-16, version 1.2.1* Esta es una de esas aplicaciones por las que el iPad en la escuela tiene sentido. Hay que añadir que para una mejor interpretación y manipulación de datos, el conseguir otros programas de Vernier puede resultar importante. ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful, easy to pick up utility *2014-01-23, version 1.2.1* Great for school, athletics, etc. ### 5/5 — WOW! *2013-04-24, version 1.2* With an iPad, this app is pretty awesome! Exporting to Logger Pro is even better! I'm probably still on the learning curve, but I haven't figured out how to maintain the measurement reference. Still, this is going to be a staple in my physics class! ### 5/5 — Aktuelles Update perfekt! *2013-01-01, version 1.2* Wo gestern noch ein komplexer Transit von iPad zu PC nötig war, kann ich jetzt mit iPad-Bordmitteln eine vollständige numerische Auswertung von Geschwindigkeit und Beschleunigung eines Objektes machen. Tolles Update! ### 5/5 — Excellent app for first year physics lab *2012-12-11, version 1.1.3* Used it this year with my first year physics classes. Shot a nerf gun, free throw, kicked a soccer ball etc. With a class set of iPads every student could do their own video and data analysis. In the past we had to find a digital video camera, take turns doing the video, download the video then do analysis. This turned a four hour lab into a two hour lab with each student able to do their own analysis. Highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
