Comments on Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite for Android
★★★★★Kalp Patel· Apr 26, 2026
Really good, no ads probably the best app you can find to use the sensors on your phone
★★★★★Phone User· Mar 12, 2026
Very useful tools clearly written by someone who cares about usability. My favorite one is the AR magnetic visualization, it's so useful and no other tool I have can do that! The free version is fully functional, but I still bought the pro version to support the author, and it costs less than a cup of coffee...
★★★★★Alejandro Villalobos Matus· Mar 23, 2026
Even being an app that needs a payment to unlock all other features, there are some other ones free options that make it really useful. I love this app.
★☆☆☆☆Aabid Iqbal· Feb 6, 2026
what's the point when you can't record g force and speed at the same time?
★★☆☆☆sheth ravi· Feb 9, 2026
Too much fluctuating, cannot take proper ready though phone on table.
