What Users Love About the App

“So fun! Such a cool way to watch and record data. Pairing is super easy and I love how you can record a video to go with your data. No complaints here!”

“Awesome product. I really enjoy using this with my kids. We showed it to the physics teacher who borrowed it and still hasn’t given it back he like it so much. Good things here.”

“I love using this with my nephew. We launch rockets and race cars and now I can teach him along the way. This is really pioneering how to show kids that everything can bring knowledge.”

“So cool! My PocketLab arrived in the mail yesterday and it’s awesome! Worked right out of the box. The app is pretty neat, easy to view and record data and the video integration is really cool. Lots of fun so far!”

“Kids can gather data about the things that interest them in their world while it’s happening. This includes soccer, gymnastics, and rockets. The creative potential is endless.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I feel the app lacks some things that do not let the pocket sensor fulfill its full potential. Here are some things that are missing from the app that I would love to see in upcoming updates: averages, minimums, and maximums of graphs after recording, examples of what the sensors do built into the app.”

“This App side definitely needs a lot of improvements. I can barely see any button in the app due to the same text and background are in the same color. So I have to click each one to figure it out. Hope to see more updates on the UI of this App!”

“While I love your sensors, your continued lack of vision and disregard for how your memory enabled tools are used in the field is utterly disappointing. Why is your Lab Notebook an online only / WebBased impediment to data collection, research, and analysis in the wild? Why is this App not an equivalent or better product?”

“Your recent update does not connect with sensor device. Software CRASH during connect attempt! Previous versions worked very well. Please FIx and Please teat new releases in detail.”

“Woah. ms peterson made me download this . 1 star.”
