About this app

Turn your phone into an accelerometer, g-force meter and vibration analyzer.

See live X, Y and Z motion plus total magnitude. Switch between g-force and linear acceleration to separate gravity from pushes, shakes and stops. Use the real-time FFT spectrum to find dominant frequency, period and RPM.

KEY FEATURES
• Live accelerometer graphs and digital readings
• g-force meter for motion, rides, vehicles and experiments
• Linear acceleration in m/s² on supported devices
• Vibration spectrum and FFT analysis in Hz
• Record sessions, review charts and share CSV data
• Adjustable sample rate, axes, filters and appearance

IDEAL FOR
Physics labs, STEM lessons, roller-coaster and elevator experiments, vehicle motion, machinery vibration, sports and everyday sensor testing.

Sensor readings and recordings stay on your device unless you choose to share a CSV file. No storage permission is required.

Advanced signal filters, saved recordings, CSV import and some Spectrum tools require Pro. Sensor availability and maximum sample rate depend on your device.
Measure g-force, linear acceleration and vibration; record and export CSV.

Does exactly what I want it to: accurately show total, x, y and z acceleration (in g). No issues with battery life/performance and have had 0 ads so far, though I've only been using it about 10 mins.

My original objective is to capture accelerometer data. Physics Toolbox Accelerometer (PTA) does this and does it well. My next goal is to analyze movement, gait, length of stride of a horse by recording accelerometer data on the back of a horse during a dressage test.
