About this app

The Radiacode is a portable radiation dosimeter that uses a highly sensitive scintillation detector for analyzing environmental radiation levels in real-time.

The dosimeter can be operated in one of three ways: autonomously, through a smartphone app (via Bluetooth or USB), or through PC software (via USB).

In all operation modes, Radiacode:

- Measures current dose rate levels of gamma and X-ray radiation and can display the data in numerical values, or as a graph;
- Calculates and displays the cumulative dose of the gamma and X-ray radiation;
- Calculates and displays the cumulative radiation energy spectrum;
- Signals when dose rate or cumulative radiation dose exceeds thresholds set by a user;
- Continuously stores the above data in non-volatile memory;
- While under the app control, it continuously streams the data to the control gadget for real-time indication and storing it in database.

The app allows:

- Setting Radiacode parameters;
- Displaying all types of measurement results;
- Storing the measurement results in the database with time stamps and location tags;
- Tracking the route data points on Google Maps and displaying them with the dose rate color tags.

In demo mode, the app works with a virtual device. This gives you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the app before you purchase the device.

Radiacode indicators:

- LCD
- LEDs
- alarm sound
- vibration

Controls: 3 buttons.
Power supply: built-in 1000 mAh Li-pol battery.
Run time: > 10 days.

Compatible with devices Radiacode 10X

Ratings and reviews

The app is good, but it is impossible to use it if notifications are blocked or location permission is not set to All the time. Most of the times I don't need it running in the background (in such cases, I will enable permissions, ideally there would be some toggle in app settings), for just adjusting some settings or viewing the spectra.

This is a combined review of the device and the app: Both are 5 stars! Both have exceeded my expectation in feature set and reliability. Everything works as expected, and it does everything I wanted and then some. I'm detecting and measuring things I thought I'd need a lab and a grant for, this is amazing. The map view is my favorite, but the graph view is excellent, and the spectrometry view is why I bought it in the first place. In addition, the ability to mirror all functionality and settings of the device on the app is amazing. Very good work done here by the engineers responsible!

EDIT: 08/13/2024 Having constant issues connecting. Someiymes just drops connection in the bacground, sometimes bluetooth works, other times it just womt connect. EDIT: This issue has beem fixed and the app now works on my Pixel 8. I dont have tk carry two phones aroumd anymore! PREVIOUS COMMENT: Stuck on "Scanning for Bluetooth Devices" but the 103 never shows up in the list to connect to. Works fine with USB, but that defeats the mobility of the product.

What’s new

The "Automatically rotate map in the direction of movement when recording a track" option has been added to the map settings.

On Android 12+, the app no longer requires location permission to communicate with the device via Bluetooth.
