About

Physics Toolbox Accelerometer

This app uses your device's accelerometer to measure and graph G-Force and acceleration over time. It allows you to record and export data as a CSV file, making it useful for analyzing motion in vehicles, vibrations, and educational physics experiments.

Highlights
  • Measures G-Force and acceleration
  • Graphs G-Force vs. Time
  • Graphs Acceleration vs. Time
  • Records and exports data as CSV
  • Analyzes motion in vehicles and vibrations
  • Useful for classroom physics experiments

Turn your iPhone into a motion laboratory. Physics Toolbox Accelerometer reads the accelerometer built into your device and shows exactly what it measures — live, in three dimensions, in units you can check. MEASURE • G-Force — the ratio of normal force to gravity, in X, Y, Z and total magnitude • Linear Acceleration — the same motion with gravity removed, in m/s² • Spectrum — a live FFT that finds the dominant frequency in a vibration RECORD AND ANALYSE • Record any run to CSV, then replay it with duration, maximum and average • Import CSV files recorded elsewhere and analyse them the same way • Share a recording straight from the app BUILT FOR TEACHING Each mode explains the physics behind it: how a piezoresistive cantilever bends under acceleration, how a capacitive accelerometer varies the electric potential across its plates, and why an object in free fall reads zero g. PRO A single lifetime purchase unlocks the signal filters — moving average, Kalman and low-pass — and analysis of saved and imported recordings. Works on iPhone and iPad, in light and dark, with VoiceOver throughout.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: myNMSU at 3.1 against Physics Toolbox Accelerometer's 2.0. myNMSU also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 5). Physics Toolbox Accelerometer's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 25%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myNMSU holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Physics Toolbox Accelerometer's written reviews are positive against 25% of myNMSU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Physics Toolbox Accelerometer ships an update every 8 months, myNMSU weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
