Sensors toolbox is the absolute all-in-one diagnostic tool that lets you know virtually everything about your mobile device status. Get full information about all sensors supported by your tablet, smartphone or wearable device. View in comfortable layout all data from your mobile device sensors in real time, make a sensors tests. Check data on chart (graphic view) and text output available for each sensor and check a detailed description of each detectors and parameters. All multi tools and sensors device you need in one app: altimeter, metal detector, compass, sport tracker and much more. This sensors tool box app gives you access to data from: - accelerometer readings (linear acceleration and gravity sensors) - gyroscope (calibrated and uncalibrated) - device 3D orientation - kinetics sensors - rotation vector sensors - other motion and position sensors - magnetometer, ambient magnetic field values strength (micro Tesla, µT) - barometer, pressure sensor - location, accuracy, altitude - battery status - sound level meter and microphone meter (decibel) - device front and back camera resolution - smartphone display size, resolution - device, phone memory, RAM and CPU parameters and others sensors available in your mobile device. With this sensors multitool app you can check what kind of sensors contain your device and test all of this. It supports all the sensors on device and it will tell you which of them are not supported by your hardware.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite at weekly against Sensors Toolbox's every 5 months. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 58%) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 164). Sensors Toolbox's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sensors Toolbox sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite against 4.7 for Sensors Toolbox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite has 1.8K ratings behind it against 164, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's written reviews are positive against 58% of Sensors Toolbox's.
Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite ships an update weekly, Sensors Toolbox every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
