Description

Did you know that you are carrying a 3D magnetometer? That you can use your phone as a pendulum to measure earth's local gravitational acceleration? That you can turn your phone into a sonar?

phyphox gives you access to the sensors of your phone either directly or through ready-to-play experiments which analyze your data and let you export raw data along with the results for further analysis. You can even define your own experiments on phyphox.org and share them with colleagues, students and friends.

Selected Features:
- A selection of pre-defined experiments. Just press play to start.
- Export your data to a range of widely used formats
- Remote-control your experiment through a web interface from any PC on the same network as your phone. No need to install anything on those PCs - all you need is a modern web browser.
- Define your own experiments by selecting sensor inputs, defining analysis steps and creating views as an interface using our web-editor (http://phyphox.org/editor). The analysis can consists of just adding two values or using advanced methods like Fourier transforms and crosscorrelation. We offer a whole toolbox of analysis functions.

Sensors supported:
- Accelerometer
- Magnetometer
- Gyroscope
- Pressure
- Microphone
- Proximity
- GPS
*some sensors are not present on every phone.

Export formats
- CSV (Comma separated values)
- TSV (Tab-separated values)
- Excel
(if you need other formats, please let us know)

can’t be used on iPhone 6

can not be used ? on

The latest vision can not be opened on my iPhone 6.Can it be fixed?

Great App, Excellent Functionality

e197535 on

simple to use app with lots of built-in functionality. Al of the experiments run smoothly.

Light sensor

ian of the bals on

For some reason the light sensor is still not implemented. Apple includes sensor kit which has a protocol for the light sensor. Is it the private headers?

super cool app

mfwallthenicknamesaretaken on

thanks for making this, i can't believe it's free!

Just one small question

jheodore tacob on

I would love to give five stars, as the app is robust and works quite well (as far as I can tell). However, I was wondering if there is any way to change the units. There probably is and I just can’t find it. As soon as I am made aware of a function to change the units on the app, I will update my rating.

Good

Good

Hands down best iOS app to get sensor data

JeERR on

This is hands down best iOS app to get sensor data. I am using it for the accelerometer and even does the FFT and generates the spectra for you. At least up until now it is free with and ads free. I wish this was available back when I was in high school or even college. Teachers and U. professors should make use of this app and the ecosystem these guys/gals are creating.

Terrible

Steve steak 45 on

I don’t like this app. I used it for physics and it didn’t work at all it crashed every time.

Works great

AmazingApple1 on

Good app, used it for our physics virtual lab and the results surprised me. Great job developers 👍
