About Science Journal

Science Journal is a tool for doing science with your phone, tablet, or Chromebook supporting Android apps. You can use the sensors in your phone or connect to external sensors to conduct experiments on the world around you.

Organize your ideas into projects, make predictions, take notes and collect data in multiple trials, then annotate and explore your results. It's the lab notebook you always have with you.

Cool app! Wished I would have had for science classes in highschool!

N70%

Fun useful app but can't delete anything. They are greyed out

cool app! I wish I would have had it in highschool!

I wasn't ever allowed to go to much school at all. I only have about a third grade education.

Being able to export data would be nice.

Best app,

Q70%
by Q####:

Awesome! Great way to test "who's the crazier driver". Bluetooth also gives more options, and I have a Bluetooth OBD reader - I have an idea!

Q70%
by Q####:

It was a great start, but the developers have done pretty much nothing after that.disapppinted as it had such a huge potential

Q70%
by Q####:

Launched with great potential, then developers have left it exactly that...an app with potential, but no actual use.

Q70%
by Q####:

On the surface it appears boring, but it is really fun when you get to know it for a few minutes. Perfect app for curious minds. I would love it even more if you are able to record the XYZ access simultaneously.

N70%
by N####:

It's useless without getting able even split the measurements. Can't sort and filter anything in.

M70%
by M####:

This is really fantastic, I've been waiting for an app like this for years. However, as other reviewers have said it really needs access to compass and gyroscope sensors. Everything else is great.

Q70%
by Q####:

This app support all devices I like it and I recommended everyone they have Android phones

K70%
by K####:

A really useful app. Did not know that my Nexus 5 had those sensors.

T70%
by T####:

Why does it need access to my device ID (telephone number) in the latest version? What do you intend to do with that? I'm not willing to update this app.

E70%

Experiment around! Wish there were more sensors supported in my phone

Great app to experiment by Google.

Q70%

I love this app. It is great to tinker around with. It really gets your creative side going.

it's great but there is not sensor to measure light. plz do something.

I70%
by I####:

Great, fantastic!

O70%
by O####:

There should be a magnetic field measurement.

Nice appp

Amazing

Q70%
by Q####:

I like the concept of this app and hope to see it improve. Glad to see barometric pressure has been added! It is missing gyroscope and magnatometer sensor channels however. Plotting more than one channel at a time would also be nice.

Q70%
by Q####:

this is a great app, thanks. i wish we could select units, inches of mercury instead of hPa, etc, and would be more useful if you could choose to chart by time of day.

H70%
by H####:

Could be interesting if Google could suggest some simple projects we might do, or perhaps link to some websites with such ideas

Q70%
by Q####:

I was not able to delete any of the projects or data collected after trying it out. Also I think another simple fix is to allow users to calibrate (by zeroing, even gravity). Lastly being able to plot multiple things on the same graph and having velocity and displacement options. I am a physics teacher... and would love this app, if only it had these few minor tweaks!

B70%
by B####:

Be much nicer if you could use things like Barometer, Proximity Sensor or like anything other than the accelerometric and ambient light on the G4. But the sensors that do work are fast and accurate.

X70%
by X####:

Only uses light sensor, microphone and accelerometer. How about supporting magnetometer, barometer?

O70%
by O####:

Nice app . I like it but it lacks other sensors .e.g pulse oximiter..

Q70%
by Q####:

You should add more units like km/m etc

P70%
by P####:

I'll try to return to review based on comparisons to other instruments.

O70%
by O####:

why not support compass sensor.and Why it not support arduino UNO board

Q70%
by Q####:

You give to learn science and right n it

I70%

Nice concept, useless practically

Q70%
by Q####:

I like this app it's super describe ..

B70%
by B####:

More

Q70%
by Q####:

Simple sound, light, movement meter

T70%
by T####:

Needs access to more of your phone's sensors (WiFi etc) to be more useful
