![[OC] I measured the pressure on my plane descent(app in description)](https://www.europesays.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/4rpt1c51ztag1-1920x1024.png)
I discovered this cool app that unlocks all the sensors on your phone. The app is called Phyphox. It was a created by RWTH Aachen University in Germany. It's free.
​The break around 100 seconds was when I accidentally paused it.
​I've never seen an app like this and was reviewed by this Youtuber that shows the barometer is legit and compares to meters costing hundreds of dollars. I'm sure the other sensors are just as useful.

This app is awesome! I found it through an engineering YouTube channel. The thing has sensors for things I didn’t even know you could sense lol thanks for sharing! Great tool for stat lovers
Sensors multitool does the same thing.
Interesting! Why does the iPhone have a barometer?
I took a week long training session on using this app in education. It is phenomenal. You can access the materials at https://st.llnl.gov/sci-ed/Physics-with-Phones/introduction-and-applications
