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) This app has been developed at the 2nd Institute of Physics A at the RWTH Aachen University.
What's New
New camera-based sensors to measure luma, luminance, hue, saturation and value. New camera-related experiments: Brightness stopwatch, color stopwatch, brightness spectrum. New UI elements: Slider, Dropdown and Toggle Location/GPS experiment now features degrees/minutes/second coordinate format Directly open zip files with experiments from other apps Stronger visual feedback for button presses For the full list of changes check out https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Version_history#1.2.0

Chris Boden made me download it. worth every penny
Thank you
What if we do not like meters? I gave you two stars because two years ago someone asked and you ignored this simple question/ask.
Have you ever wanted to measure some of the most random things possible on your phone? Well your in luck, because this app essentially just gives you free range of your phone’s sensors, meaning you can just screw around on its magnetometer, or measure the speed of an elevator in one app!
Extremely cool massive set of tools. I had no idea the capabilities of my.phones various sensors.
Very Cool
I don’t use this app enough, it’s truly underrated and fun to mess around with.
Network error: Generic error. Could not retrieve data. The request timed out.(after pressing submit button) Please adding some infrasound detector if its possible 🙏🏻
This app is perfect for logging the sensor data and exporting. I like that it has a custom experiment setup to choose which sensors to include and recording rate. Perfect.
Really great app
