Phone Sensors for Android
Room temperature stays at zero yet house is 25c. Don't waste your time deleted
I didn't even know my S4 has all these sensors. Now I can get all these readings without using other equipment. Can I know what is the unit for the light reading? Is it possible to make it in lumen?
On the next update please check the illumination values, wider limits for places where it's really hot or too cold. Pressure stuck to 950,0hPa. More instructions how to know where is the fail. I'm quite sure all the S4 are the same. :)
Good concept / bad execution. I installed this initially for the thermometer mainly, which is off by 10 degrees in my room of my apartment. That makes me wonder how accurate the other three are. Really need something like this and if you could find a way to calibrate this accurately or allow us to set our own baseline this could be 5 stars. Have uninstalled until then. S4
Only problem is that it doesn't have a widget option to put on my home screen. Make a widget for this and a full five stars will be coming your way.
Would be nice if temp didn't peg out at 100 F . Here in southern California that's not high enough in summer. (But maybe that's the limitation of the phone hatdware?)

I have the galaxy note4 the temp humid and light do not work. How do I get to the menu and get the sensors to work?
Rubbish kept saying temp was 32degrees. What the hell I'm in Wales!!! Don't waste time downloading it!!
The ambient temp and humidity sensors seem to display 0. Don't know if just my phone or the app. Edit: Installed a different sensor app, both of those sensors continue to display 0. Raising to 5 star rating.
Is reading the temp from batt or cpu etc on my Galaxy S4 other app that reads all same sensors reads correct temp from the ambient temp sensor. This app reads way too high temp.
Using it on CM 10.2 nightly and I am getting a proper figure for temperature, humidity and light. THe pressure figure is stuck at 950hPa, no idea if that is right.
For some reason the bold text in white is just outlined in white so it makes it harder to read. I want to keep this app, but if it doesn't get fixed I may have to get rid of it
Station Pressure does not work on Galaxy Note 3. Station Pressure also has wrong/incorrect scale for station pressure
Only 2 issues that I see. First one has nothing to do with the developer. That is if ur battery is running hot it will affect the temp sensor. The second is that it froze my phone on first use...but I was streaming using allshare cast to the tv. Ill see if it happens again.
I like the simplicity of the app and no permissions but it needs to show a pressure scale that will display lower atmospheric pressures than 950 hPa and higher temperatures than 40 deg C. A portrait layout would also be helpful
readings on the low end. Those of us who live at high altitude, don't get any reading because the pressure here is below 28inhg. I live at 5000 feet. You need a barometer that reads all the way down to 18inhg because there are people who live at altitudes higher than myself.
Awesome job Dev's. Works as it should and works well
All info on one page with no choice of individual pages. No theme choice, e.g. colour and bar reading. Takes for granted that no user has any difficulty with factory set colour themes etc, etc.
Very easy to view results but the temperature reading is, for my phone at least, totally illogical and in consistent. Freezing cold early morning and it reads 30 degrees cel.
Would be nice to adjust range of scales. I live way above sea level so pressure is almost always too low to read. (Bottomed out). I agree red and blue should switch for humidity. And what about compass. Magnetic. Accelerometer. Wifi strength. Gyro. I would like to see a full tricorder.
I really like this app, although it's a pity that the temperature gauge doesn't read above 40°. I live in Alice Springs where the temperarure regularly goes above 40°. Maybe something for a future update or version?
Does not work at all on this phone as stated. Temp stuck. Humidity 0 light 0 temp -10 can't tell If it's f or c. No settings. Pressure is the only thing showing reading 991.4? Wth? I guess none of it works. I had so hoped it would work.
Amazing app. Would give 5 stars if the visuals were a bit more appealing....colours especially. Needs to look more modern and nice.
The app won't show temp or humidity on my S4 Mini. I see many people have this same issue. I was hoping that this was exactly what I was looking for. If only it worked. Uninstalling...
Only the 'Pressure' & 'Light' sensors work on my Galaxy S5 Active. (The 'Temp' & 'Relative Humidity' show 0.0C and 0.0%,respectively). I can only guess that Samsung removed these sensors for the Galaxy S5!) Graphics are fairly decent. Also, I could not access the settings. I tried everything: swipe (all directions), press (long and short). Since it only 'partially works' (on MY phone) I'll be uninstalling it. [If all sensors had been available (on my phone) AND 'Settings' had been accessible, I would have rated 5 stars. Also, ability to choose to display any one of (or any combination of) the sensors would be really nice.]
Love the app on my galaxy S4 but does not work on my samsung 7" tablet boo hoo
Works cool on Samsung S4. Best part is it needs no permission to install. And temperature reads accurately. Great job!!!
How do I get the numbers to be white again instead of grey??? Edit: Number and Text are still grey in color and very hard to read. No way to change them and emailed dev multiple times over last 9 months and still no reply. Just going to delete it as there are much better ones out since I downloaded this.
Everything except the pressure bar seems to work. I have never seen the pressure bar move at all and it always stays at 13.7psi. Dont know if it is the app or my phone but whatever. I dont need to really know it anyways.
Great app… A digital option would be nice too. Barometer works for me but it gets hotter than 40 C where I am, so it maxes out. No ads is great too. Thanks
This is a really good app! Really accurate! The only thing is I have seen sensor apps with more than 5 sensors. 5 stars if more sensors.
Downloaded it and the temp needle stuck wouldn't move, uninstalled and installed again this time temp and light stuck. Sorry guys looks good was hoping to use it. Note 3.
I really dont understand why ALL you guys are not all giving 5 stars. Name a better app out there with no ads. You cant! What I like most is not only are there no ads bugging me, there isn't any invasive permissions required either. I really appreciate that for a free app. Thank u and great job. The rest of you giving 2 and 3 stars are either boneheads or you're trying this app on something other than a Galaxy S4. Complaining about the icon. LoL!! Wow!!
Tested it in various conditions and compared readings with actual devices, and this application is very correct. 99% of readings were correct upto decimal level. Highly recommended.
Absolutely amazed. I even tested it because I didn't believe it would do all that. It does and it's pretty accurate as well. Wow
I tried this app on my G4 totally accurate .placed it on top shelf of fridge 5.6c for 5 minutes correct rel humidity 30% also correct atmospheric pressure is also correct .lums use the front camera which is depend if lens is clean . Nice clean app . Thanks
Fantastic app that do its job without messing around.
Needs wider range on temp scale. It gets between - 30 °F and 120 °F here in the States.
