Pros & Cons

  • Direct access to on-device sensors enables hands-on physics experiments
  • Ready-to-run experiments let users start immediately with minimal setup
  • Flexible data exports to CSV, TSV, and Excel support easy analysis
  • Remote control and a web-based editor at phyphox.org enable collaborative work
  • No new downloads in the last 30 days, indicating limited recent growth
  • Demands multiple sensitive permissions (location, camera, microphone, storage, Bluetooth, etc.), which may raise privacy considerations
  • Some features rely on online resources (phyphox.org editor and online experiments), which may affect offline usage

Comments on phyphox for Android

★★★★★ Olivia Peng · Apr 4, 2026
Excellent tool for doing easy physics experiments like measuring the acceleration of an elevator or plane!!! I like physics, hope you like it too!
★★★★★ NoNameIdk1 · May 21, 2026
This is what a utility app should be like. There's absolutely no ads or (from my experience) intrusive popups, it's completely free (although if your phone has some sensors missing you'd need to buy a new one, but that's not something the app can fix) and it has all the utilities and data exportation you could like.
★★★★★ C R · May 23, 2026
After 40 years in technology there are few things that make me say "Wow, that's really cool!". This app however, is definitely one of them. What a useful and fascinating set of tools. Thank you for this app!
★★★★★ Justin Knauf · Dec 12, 2025
Thank you, Chris Boden for the recommendation; I am definitely seeing something cool!
★☆☆☆☆ Paul Skinner · Feb 12, 2026
Download data, nothing. Waste of several experiments. Don't waste your time; data should be SAFE.
★★☆☆☆ Dr Tony Burns · Jan 19, 2026
Great app but it only works once, then needs to be re-installed to work again.
