About RPM meter

A fast and lightweight application for measuring RPM (Rounds per minute) of a rotating or moving object using your phone's proximity sensor.

NOTE :- 1.This application is never intended to substitute real dedicated RPM meters
2.Depending on your phone the maximum RPM measurable by the sensor may vary
3.This application is not designed to measure motion of very high speed objects
4.Your android phone/tablet/device must have a proximity sensor built in for this app to work

How it works :

1. Just start the app and you'll see the dashboard

2. when anything moves over the proximity sensor of your phone (covering & uncovering it) you will immediately see the corresponding RPM value

3. The maximum RPM section shows the maximum RPM recorded till the moment.

4. The sensor value part shows the immediate raw reading of the sensor.

5. The time period field shows the time period for the last revolution/cycle.

That's it ! enjoy

Damn thing works like a charm on my lathe. Turn the lathe on, hold my phone close to it and i can set the rpm real easy of my lathe super app! I would charge millions for it as long as i can keep mine for free lol

I used the app to read the rpm capabilities of the LEGO vacuum engines I built, it could be better, but the app read 1600 rpm at half throttle. After that it couldn't read

Works ok at very low rpm. If you can't get this to work or if you need more rpm look for an app that uses the microphone.

We used this for my son's science fair project. Worked well. We needed it to tell us rotations of a windmill. We used max rpm feature and divided the number of blades to determine the real rpm.

Very good app, but the maximum number is depend on android device! But very good app

I swung my hand back n forth . It read 287 RPM. FYI the sensor is on the front u have to face it forward

There only suggestions I have are to add an average rpm with the current and Max and let us change the multiplier based off that it might get more accurate readings. I use this app to measure roller rpm and created the custome calculation to make it ft/min and would work much better with an average. Also make the max min and current names change to your current multiplier so it doesn't always say rpm. Lastly if you can make the ability to add custom multiplier and name them the app would have 5 stars by me

Good app seems good as I checked it with my cnc mill and it told me the right rpm to what the machine was running at. Good app!

Good app but not good enough to stop me spending $300 on the real thing. The current rpm needs to be averaged over 1 second and I couldn't find an rpm dial gauge. Put some effort in and you will have this app on every engineer and mechanics phone.

Could not get an rpm reading on a fan, even after putting white tape on one blade. May work better at low rpm's. Galaxy s3.

The settings screen is lovely, unfortunately I can't get to anywhere else in the application. Everytime I try to apply the settings, it changes the rpm multiplier, and will not save the settings. I'm using a samsung galaxy s5.

I'm a mechanical engineer and I love this app. Used it for few motors who specs were unknown. Thanks for an awesome e app! Note...it does not give RPM of your car! How could it?! It sense motion across the IR proximity sensor and counts the passes and time between passes.

DoesNot work right while driving doesNot match the rpm meter in the car , gives falsh readings , how can this be fixed ?

Work very well and precise for Samsung galaxy ace3. It's help me in my work. I love this app.

Works well.

Too quirky not accurate when compared to a optical hand held rpm meter, still needs work.
