About phyphox
phyphox turns supported sensors in a phone into tools for physics experiments. Its experiments can record measurements and show the results as graphs. Examples include acceleration, rotation, sound and light measurements. The sensors available on your own device determine which experiments you can use.
An experiment can display several views of the same measurement. The app also supports remote access through a web interface, which can help when a phone needs to stay in position during an experiment.
RWTH Aachen University publishes phyphox as a free app. You can export recorded data for further analysis. Use the publisher's experiment documentation to choose a measurement supported by your device and understand the results it displays.
