Strobr Scope vs Watch Sensor Logger
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Strobr Scope
This utility app uses your device's camera to measure the frequencies of various cycles, including rotational speeds and electrical light frequencies. It offers a more convenient and less distracting alternative to traditional stroboscopes, capable of measuring even very slow rotations.
- Camera-based stroboscope
- Measures rotational frequencies
- Measures electrical light frequencies
- Measures slow rotations
- Continuously variable frame rates
- Convenient and less distracting

Strobr Scope is a camera-based stroboscope app that relies on continuously variable frame rates to measure the frequencies of cycles. A traditional stroboscope flashes bright lights at a specific frequency that can be easily matched to the rotational frequency of i.e. a car wheel using persistence of vision (POV), allowing the rotational speed to be measured. Strobr Scope works similarly, but can also measure many things like electrical light frequencies and very low slow rotations that a traditional stroboscope cannot. It’s also more convenient and much less distracting to others! This app was built at PennApps 2017 and won top 30 there.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Strobr Scope at none against Watch Sensor Logger's shown. Strobr Scope also leads on update cadence (every 12 months vs every 25 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
