Acceleration sensor logger vs Gauges
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Acceleration sensor logger
This tool logs data from your device's acceleration, gyroscope, and magnetic force sensors. Visualize sensor readings in graphs and export data via email in CSV format for spreadsheet analysis. It can also function as a horizontal instrument.
- Log acceleration, gyroscope, and magnetic force sensor data
- Display sensor data in graphs
- Export data via email in CSV format
- View data for X, Y, and Z axes

Acceleration gyroscope magnetometer sensor logger is a tool to experiment how to behave as various sensors what. The information obtained in the experiment can be sent by e-mail. The operation of the sensor I have displayed in graph. You are directly displayed to the value that can be taken with the iPhone motion sensor. And acceleration sensor I will display the acceleration along each axis of the three-dimensional space. Gyroscopes I will display the rotation speed. -Magnetic force sensor I will display the value of the magnetic force sensor. When you tap the graph to display the data of tap position. The resulting data can be used to retrieve the respective data of X-axis · Y-axis · Z axis to the latest 10,000 by attaching by e-mail. Since will be sent in CSV format, it is also possible to graph displayed in spreadsheet software. Acceleration sensor can also be used as a horizontal instrument. - Horizontal, so that the sensor of the y-axis in the transverse the iPhone become close to zero. - Vertical, so that the sensor of the x-axis in the longitudinal the iPhone is close to 0. ----- Attachment ----- x.txt ... X-axis sensor data y.txt ... Y-axis sensor data z.txt ... Z-axis sensor data ----- CSV specification ----- First row: date, time (up to milliseconds) Second row: the acceleration sensor value

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Acceleration sensor logger at none against Gauges's 5. Acceleration sensor logger also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Gauges's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gauges sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Acceleration sensor logger asks for nothing beyond the download.
Gauges holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gauges has 3.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Acceleration sensor logger's written reviews are positive against 54% of Gauges's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Acceleration sensor logger ships an update every 10 months, Gauges fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
