This may be the most underrated app on the Play Store. I wish I had discovered it sooner. If it weren't for Chris Boden from the YouTube channel @Physicsduck, I would have missed out on this amazing app. The features it offers seem almost too powerful to operate with just a phone, without any additional devices. I love it.
Reviews for phyphox
It is hard to believe that such a valuable, versatile, and well-organized app exists, never mind for free and without ads or other bloat. If I could suggest one improvement: I was very surprised that you can't view the spectra you've taken over time as "carpet"-style spectrograms. I'd really like to see that functionality.
Cant believe this never crossed my mind before! An app that simply gives you access to all the sensor suite your phone is always running anyway, plus a lot clever mathematics and programming to add even more functionality. Perfect to play around with, and turns your phone from a dopamine machine into an extremely versatile multitool!
Exceptional for classroom use - as a teacher (age groups 11-18) it's fantastic that I can set my phone up in place in an experiment & then control and display all the information in real time on a screen through a browser. Makes data-logging equipment for demonstrations look poor in comparison & the number of sensors it accesses is awesome.
I was using phyphox to record some barometric pressure data over several days on an old phone. The first time I did it, everything seemed to work, though the export process isn't straightforward. The second time I tried it, I couldn't export the data I needed before the app let me exit the experiment without prompting me to save any of my data and then crashed. I have no idea if the data is recorded anywhere or if it's even recoverable.
Very useful, I can secretly play 20,000hz near my friends and watch them go crazy, lol
These are the kind of things that are really worth to download. Amazing app. The concept alone is commendable.
Super interesting app, and works well without weird and concerning permissions (GrapheneOS approved :)
It works well! No ads, and it can use about all of my phone's sensors.
Great portable physics lab. Especially like the feature to save data.
