phyphox: Physics Experiments

Cant believe this never crossed my mind before! An app that simply gives you access to all the sensor suite your phone is always running anyway, plus a lot clever mathematics and programming to add even more functionality. Perfect to play around with, and turns your phone from a dopamine machine into an extremely versatile multitool!

Honestly, a really cool piece of work! Simple to use and operate, and really opened my eyes as to the sheer amount of STUFF my phone has to offer in terms of telemetry. I think what really opened my eyes was being able to detect the minute, fraction-of-a-decimal differences in barometric-pressure between various rooms in my home, from floor to ceiling. Impressive stuff! Definitely worth having on-hand.

This may be the most underrated app on the Play Store. I wish I had discovered it sooner. If it weren't for Chris Boden from the YouTube channel @Physicsduck, I would have missed out on this amazing app. The features it offers seem almost too powerful to operate with just a phone, without any additional devices. I love it.

I found phyphox on my phone, as if flashed or tunneled. Default settings don't allow remote access but the owner is able to enable that, sensor by sensor. That's useful for a remote audio engineer (perhaps a PhD with yrs of training in comm, physics, coding & engineering). So I was disturbed to discover my apk was configured for remote wi-fi access without permission. I think my line was compromised illegally I'm confident Google will figure specifics. A🇺🇸asset≠abuse by ***.

Guy said this would turn my phone into a tri-corder from Star Trek. Guy was correct. Unfortunately, I am too dumb to appreciate the full extent of these senors and graphs. Perhaps I will read a book or two to become smart enough to use this correctly.
