About

G

This app records and analyzes motion data from your device's sensors, including acceleration, rotation, and GPS information. It's designed for experiments, performance analysis, and tracking various movements. Data can be exported in CSV format and is resistant to loss.

Highlights
  • Logs and plots motion data (acceleration, rotation)
  • Records ground speed, altitude, distance, and displacement
  • Virtually unlimited recording time
  • Programmable data acquisition control
  • Remote control via Apple Watch
  • Configurable acceleration reference frame
  • Export data in CSV format

G-Field Recorder is an easy-to-use and powerful data acquisition and analysis system for iOS device deployments. G-Field Recorder logs, plots, and replays: - 3-axis acceleration fields - 3-axis rotational displacements - Ground speed - Altitude - Distance - Displacement - Course Use this app to assist your analysis of experiments, sports performance, drone behaviors, land vehicle and watercraft actions, security applications, structural behaviors, and more. All of your data is logged on your device, where you may retain it indefinitely, share, or delete the files of your choosing. All data files are easy to export in CSV format via AirDrop and other methods (e.g. Slack, email, LinkedIn ...) available on your device. Developed for NASA payloads, G-Field Recorder is resistant to data loss from impacts, continuously saving your data to permanent storage in case of a severe upset event that damages your device (e.g. you crash your drone). Features: - Logs and plots of motion data: -- 3 Axis Acceleration Field -- 3 Axis Rotations (Pitch, Roll, and Yaw) - Virtually unlimited recording time.  The collected data is automatically stored in as many sequentially indexed files as required, up to about 5 MB per file (for easy search and review). Data storage capability is up to the max storage availability on the device. - Programmable data acquisition control:  - Relative start time  - Absolute start time - Relative stop time - Acceleration reference frame is configurable: -Choose to ignore or sense gravity - Select reference frames: Proper, Fictitious, or Coordinate acceleration - Remote control and monitoring via Apple Watch: - Apple Watch can start and stop data collection, overriding any device-programmed start and stop times  - Apple Watch can set the acceleration reference frame - Set sampling frequency from vanishingly small (e.g. 0.001 Hz) up to 100 Hz - Computed averages and extrema of are automatically logged for all recorded motion data - Rewind and instant playback of recorded data - Text notes and an image can be added to each stored data file - Selectable animated icon graphics GPS Package In-App Purchase (recommended ) -- Ground Speed, Course, Altitude -- Distance & Displacement -- Illustrated path overlayed on Apple Map

See how your device moves with Acc.elerometer. View live sensor readings, record an experiment and examine the results on your iPhone or iPad. Capture motion on Apple Watch and send recordings to your paired iPhone for charts and CSV export. EXPLORE SIX MEASUREMENTS - Acceleration, including gravity, in G - User acceleration, with gravity removed, in G - Rotation rate around three axes in rad/s - Magnetic field in microteslas - Device attitude: roll, pitch and yaw in radians - Gravity along each axis in G View individual axes and vector magnitude where supported. Follow changing values and review recorded measurements to explore movement, rotation and orientation. RECORD AND REVIEW Choose the measurements you want to capture, then start and stop a recording. On iPhone and iPad, set the measurement interval from 0.1 to 1 second. Open saved recordings to inspect charts, switch between individual axes and vector magnitude for supported measurements, and identify gaps in the data. EXPORT YOUR DATA Export each measurement from a recording as a CSV file with timestamps and axis values. Choose Unix time, spreadsheet serial dates or formatted date strings for your analysis workflow. CAPTURE MOTION ON APPLE WATCH View sensor readings and record selected measurements on your wrist. Send saved recordings to the paired iPhone and follow transfer progress. Add watch face complications to see saved sensor maxima or recording status, and open the app to start a recording from the recording widget. FOR EXPERIMENTS AND EVERYDAY CURIOSITY Explore device motion for a physics demonstration, a development project or your own experiments. Measurements and recordings are stored on your devices. No account is required. Available readings and actual sampling intervals depend on the device and its sensors. Apple Watch recording duration is subject to watchOS background runtime limits. Watch complications show saved values from the app, rather than a continuous live sensor feed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Acc.elerometer at 100% against G's 50%. Acc.elerometer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). G's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Acc.elerometer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: G has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of G's written reviews are positive against 100% of Acc.elerometer's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

G ships an update every 4 days, Acc.elerometer every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
