About this app

Sensor Logger collects, records and displays data from a wide range of sensors on your phone — including accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, audio, camera and bluetooth devices. You can also log device properties such as screen brightness, battery level and network state. An intuitive interface allows you to select your desired sensors and preview them live. A tap of a button initiates the recording function, which works even when the app is in the background. You can view and manage recordings within the app via interactive plots. The export functionality conveniently outputs your recordings in a variety of formats, including Zipped CSV, JSON, Excel, KML and SQLite. For advanced use cases, you may also stream data via HTTP or MQTT during a recording session, resample and aggregate measurements from multiple sensors, and create Studies to collect recordings from other Sensor Logger users with ease. Sensor Logger is specifically designed for researchers, educators, and anyone with an interest in collecting or monitoring sensor data on their smartphone. It serves as a toolbox for exploring various fields, including physics, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Overall great app. Using it to collect some preliminary data before we build out something more specific to our use case. The biggest downside has been trying to interpret the exports pushed to our server. Some of the data points aren't documented so we don't know what they are (for example "accuracy" comes over as 1 or 3 - but we have no idea what either means). The app is great, but there are a few holes in documentation so we can identify what we're looking at.

The fields are documented at https://github.com/tszheichoi/awesome-sensor-logger/blob/main/UNITS.md - Feel free to email sensorlogger@tszheichoi.com with details of any columns you need further documentation for. I’m also interested to hear more about your specific use case!

I use this app quite a bit and anothers like it. I would really like to see included if possible is the ability to record and identify infrasound / ultrasound as well as EMF readings like Gauss Exposure , Amps per Meter etc. Addendum : I think it would be really useful to have an option export all data sets as save logs and an auto deletion afterwords if selected. Thanks!

This app is amazing, does what it says, no popup ads or other annoying things. Would easily pay a small amount to keep it this way.
