About Bob Environmental
Bob is the app that turns your Apple Watch and your iPhone into a smart sensor and you into a scientist. Smartwatches have 6 of the same sensors that scientists use to study the ocean and the earth. Take, save, and share environmental data with anyone, anywhere, anytime. ~~~ Data collection simplified. ~~~ Tap a button to start logging data. Done logging? Tap again. ~~~ Geotagging? ~~~ L1 and L5 GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and BeiDou works seamlessly with local Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks to provide location and altitude at accuracies up to 10 meters. ~~~ Moving three-dimensionally through space? ~~~ The accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass tracks watch motion. ~~~ Air pressure? ~~~ There's a barometer for that. ~~~ Are you in water? ~~~ Apple Watch Ultra, Series 11 or Series 10 also measure water temperature and depth to 0.1 C and 0.05 meters. ~~~ Set it and forget it! ~~~ Automatic water lock for uninterrupted data collection. ~~~ The more the merrier!~~~ Record data on your watch and your phone at the same time. ~~~ Automatic archiving ~~~ Tap stop and your data is automatically saved to iCloud. ~~~ Explore your data. ~~~ The watch logbook has a quick summary. For more details, graphically explore your data on the phone app. ~~~ Share like a text or photo. ~~~ Instead of sending a cat pic to Nana and PopPop, send them your latest data. Converted internally to a human and machine readable JSON, they will also be impressed by the comprehensive metadata. ~~~ Hit us with your feedback ~~~ If you find a bug or have an idea for a cool feature, reach out by emailing [email protected] _______________________\\ Tini Scientific is on a mission to provide ocean data to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Armed decades of expertise in oceanography, technology, and pop culture, Tini is revolutionizing ocean observations by developing a truly scalable network that returns timely, relevant, and usable ocean data.
What’s new
Version 2.1.0 · Updated August 14, 2026
We’ve released a new update for Bob Environmental—built directly from your feedback and designed to make every sampling session more reliable. Here’s what’s new for Version 2.1.0: - Choose whether Water Lock turns on By default, Bob will ask whether to turn on the Water Lock each time you tap Start Sampling. That makes it easy to switch to another app and begin a workout while Bob continues collecting observations in the background. If you'd rather not be asked every time, go to Settings → Water Lock to Always On or Always Off. -More feedback when you start and stop sampling Bob now gives you haptic vibration feedback and submarine-style sonar ping when sampling starts and stops. Make sure Silent Mode is turned off to hear the ping. -Better motion data in real-world coordinates Bob does a better job converting your watch's motion and orientation sensors — acceleration, rotational velocity, and magnetic-field — from watch-based Cartesian coordinates into real-world Earth coordinates, making the data more useful for science analysis and future forecasting. - More resilient data capture Bob now saves observations to internal memory more often. If the app closes unexpectedly or your battery runs out, you’ll lose no more than three minutes of data.
