Sensor Sense is a mobile phone sensor detection software specially created for Android. With this application, you can detect air pressure, light, etc. at any time. If you are interested, please download it.
About Sensor Sense
"SensorSense" is an application that displays various sensor parameters of your Android phone.
With this app, you can instantly turn your smartphone into a multi-functional sensor data collector. You can use it to measure in real time the changes in air pressure, sound pressure, illumination, battery status, location, mobile network, Wi-Fi, magnetic field, gravity, and other data. Furthermore, you can save these measurements as CSV files and share them with other devices for further analysis.
Of course, all of this depends on whether your Android device's hardware actually supports these sensors.
Sensor Sense Features
An intuitive and beautifully designed utility
The interface of "SensorSense" is thoughtfully designed—intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. The card-based tab layout makes viewing various sensor data a visually satisfying experience. After all, modern legitimate Android phones typically have at least a dozen types of sensors; without an intuitive interface, the display could easily become chaotic.
Upon launching the app, you'll immediately see a clear overview of various sensor readings. Tapping into each one leads to a detailed page, and you can swipe left or right on the cards to hide sensor types you don't want displayed on the main screen.
The settings interface is also simple and straightforward. Personally, I feel this tool is so minimalistic and well-designed that it requires almost no configuration—just open and use, convenient and efficient.
Comprehensive sensor types with precise data
The list of sensor data types shown is not exhaustive—your phone might actually have even more sensors than those displayed.
To be honest, if I hadn't used "Sensor Sense," I wouldn’t have realized how many sensors are packed into a smartphone! I also never imagined that a common smartphone would require so many sensors!
For example, the "pressure" data measured by a barometer can reflect the altitude where your phone is located. In smartphones, the barometer works alongside GPS; because it reflects elevation, it helps make location positioning more accurate. The "magnetic field" data, when presented differently, essentially becomes a compass.
Another example: "Battery" data not only shows precise battery level but also reveals the battery’s temperature.
Nowadays, phones occasionally catch fire or explode. So I suggest checking your phone’s battery temperature whenever it feels abnormally hot. If the battery temperature frequently spikes to egg-frying levels, you should really take it easy—otherwise, one sudden explosion might cost you more than what you'd earn selling a microwave oven to cover medical bills.
Real-time charts with recording and export support
Observant users may have already noticed in the screenshots above that most sensor data in "Sensor Sense" generates real-time line graphs on the detail pages.
Beyond that, if you tap the "Play/Pause" button on the screen, you can record the changes in data values in real time and save them as CSV files for sharing.
Although average users rarely need this feature, having such functionality—which can be crucial in specific situations but hard to find when needed—is highly valuable, especially for people who frequently work with sensors. It is precisely this capability that opens up more practical possibilities for "Sensor Sense."
Editor's Review
With its small installation size, clean and intuitive interface, comprehensive sensor data information, and powerful recording and sharing capabilities, "Sensor Sense" stands out as a rare and indispensable utility tool.
Like a sewing kit every homemaker should have or a toolbox every handyman needs, even if you only use it a few times a year, it’s still worth installing on your phone—because you never know when you might really need it.
Of course, even if you never actually need it, you can install it just out of curiosity or for exploration. After all, sensors are genuinely fun to play with! Installing "Sensor Sense" is like unlocking the full potential of your phone’s sensors, suddenly opening up numerous possibilities.
And sometimes, it truly proves useful.
For instance, today I happily spent an afternoon measuring "sound pressure" levels and finally discovered the root cause of why I couldn't nap in my bedroom—the windows need to be shut tighter; the outside world is just too noisy.
