AccelMeter vs Acc.elerometer
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
AccelMeter
Visualize and measure current acceleration in 3D. Explore different modes to understand gravitational forces or measure g-forces during movement. Ideal for testing vehicle acceleration or understanding rotational forces.
- 3D graphical vector visualization
- Absolute acceleration mode
- Relative acceleration mode
- X, Y, Z rotation display
- Measures g-forces
- Visualizes gravitational forces

First and only 3D-graphical Vector Accelerometer in App Store: Smoothly visualize and measure the current acceleration. It can be used on earth, on moon or in orbit (where relative would be equal to absolute mode - please prove) to visualize the direction and strength of the gravitation - or simply at home to measure the g-forces you reach while shaking your phone - however be warned if you tend to get to the limits! :-). A fun application is to place the iPhone/iPod steady in your car (or any other moving vehicle), go to relative mode, zero it once when you are standing and then see the current g-forces in effect while you drive (e.g. what g-force does your car get when you accelerate?). The application has five different display modes for acceleration visualization: - Absolute Mode: Displays the reverse acceleration of the iPhone (1g up when hold steady). - X-Rotation - Y-Rotation - Z-Rotation: The arrow will display the rotation around the X-, Y- and Z-Axis of the iPhone. The digital indicator shows the angle numerically (-180° - +180°). A way to calibrate will be added with one of the next updates, so you could use this as a level. - Relative Mode: This mode shows the relative strength (absolute minus compensation vector) of the acceleration. For a detailed documentation, please visit our product homepage. For recreational use only. However it CAN (!) be very accurate. The measurement is performed as good as possible (we try our best) by using the inbuilt accelerometer and magnetometer to their limits. The range of the accelerometer typically has a max of ±3g (~4.2g displayed here if combined). However, tell us your experience! Check out all our products (free and paid) on www.plaincode.com

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 clearest difference is review sentiment: Acc.elerometer at 100% against AccelMeter's 48%. Acc.elerometer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.7) and monetization model (free vs paid). AccelMeter's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Acc.elerometer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AccelMeter has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of AccelMeter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Acc.elerometer's.
AccelMeter ships an update every 6 months, Acc.elerometer every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
