Simple and nonfunctional

Didn’t work for me, might work for you. Randomly cut recordings short after a few seconds then locked up and tried to text the data file, at which the cancel button greyed out. Documentation looks like freeware from 1998.

Stopped working

I had this app for several years and it suddenly stopped working -- no longer records, saves or allows contact with developer. Disappointing.

Simple and effective

I’ve used this for several years to collect vibration signals from vehicles and trickier s for research purposes. It’s easy to use and I recommend to my students.

Brilliant app

Does exactly what it claims to, measures vibration up to 50Hz.

Lots of control regarding sampling rate, time and delay.

Files can be saved and exported as CSV.

Spectrum analysis could use some more labels but nevertheless very good app.

Solid App

Bought this app over 5 years ago because the vibration sensor we were using in the lab wasn’t quite working for our need. We wanted to know the vibration noise source for a piece of equipment we were designing. With this app, we were able to determine the peak frequencies, and therefore the source of our noise. Impressed the whole team with the fact that it was an iPhone that solved the mystery. Ever since then this app has been a fun toy at home.

Mostly good, but possibly flawed

I was impressed to find such a technically advanced app. However when I use the microphone input on an iPhone, the sound frequencies appear to be represented in the spectrum view at twice their actual frequency. I haven't put it on the bench yet, but when I calibrate a whistle or sing tone with another app, the Cleartune app, the tones are represented in this Vibration app at twice the frequency registered in the Cleartune app. I have used the Cleartune app to practice various pieces of music and it seems spot on.

Lovely!

Great app. I use it to analyse resonance and vibration in my 3D printer as I add and replace components. The ability to email the data to myself in spreadsheet form is much appreciated.

slightly disappointed by the update

Whilst it is 'technically accurate' I found the claim that "It is now possible to select an external microphone as a data source" rather misleading.

In fact, it appears that the in-App purchase [at a cost of £14.99] serves to only "Enable full Digiducer functionality".

The Digiducer itself is an excellent, but not inexpensive device, and I would have been MUCH happier if the option was available to use ANY external USB microphone for qualitative work.

That said; the App remains excellent !!

Note: I have already twice attempted to submit this review, but neither has appeared ... Perhaps that was because I included links to the Digiducer website. [?]

State of art, 5 stars application of the year!

It is a state of the art. The best program I have ever used in my life including all PC software.

Great app.

This app turns determining natural frequencies from a 20 minute exercise to a 5 second one. Very well put together! You've made my calcs a lot easier!

Application Receipt Not Valid

When I try to use this, it says "Application Receipt Not Valid" and refuses to work. I think this constitutes fraud- it is a complete and utter RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF !!!!!!!!!

Wont run with ios p ipad2

Was working before upgrading to ios 9
Now the app complains about some "...reciept[sic] ..." Problem and forces the app to close.
How to get it working again, or is this a rip off!

Bad

Apps should never ask for AppleID password

Very Useful

I've had this app for sometime now and find it to be useful for measuring frequencies of all sorts of things. In the past it was vibrations, and now with the microphone added as a source, sound. Use it on both the iPad and iPhone.

Unable to load saved data

I have taken many measurements and saved them properly. When I go to load my data, there is nothing there. I reported this problem yesterday and have had no reply from them. Feel like I was ripped off of $5 that I paid. This has also wasted a lot of my time at work, which has cost me $400 in my time.

Nicely done

Very solid work around this implementation that provides useful data capture from the iPhone accelerometers in all three axes, as well as the gyroscopic sensors (though to a slightly lesser extent). Data is portable, GUI is flexible, acquisition parameters adjustable. Kudos to dev for continued refinement. Very fairly priced.

Calibration issues

The program seems to work ok but the calibration crashes and ends the program.

Слабенькая

Слабый инструмент. Неудобный интерфейс, маленький функционал по обработке данных.

This App turns your iPhone into a $2,500+ piece of scientific equipment

This is a wonderful scientific app that specifically shows how powerful an instrument that most people never realize they carry in their pockets.

I've used this app to conduct a limited vibration analysis of an apartment that complained about vibrations caused by newly installed chiller pumps in the building.

I'm amazed at how sensitive the internal accelerometer is on the iPhone 5. I was able to detect vibrations creating a surface delta of 0.02 mm/s @ 5KHz.

Kudos to the developer.
