About this app

"The human eye can only see 30 FPS"... is an old myth!


This app compares different frame rates through multiple animations.

• Choose one of the five animations, and witness the benefits of higher FPS.
• Check your screen refresh rate and current frame rate with the built-in fps counter.
• Play a mini game where you must guess the current animation FPS. It will train your eyes to detect if your games are running at 60fps or not.

Higher FPS are best appreciated in intensive action games, where objects on the screen are moving fast and missing one piece of visual information may cause your defeat.

From now on, request 60 FPS or more. Your eyes demand it.


The difference between 30fps and 60fps might be slightly less obvious on low pixel density screens.

Ratings and reviews

Even though I removed it right after installing it. The value the app gave me was tremendous. It helped me compare all 15, 30 and 60 Hz at the same time. The apps animation was in fact, better at helping me compare the frame rates than YouTube videos. I also wasn't aware of the fact how the readability of moving text varies according to the frame rate. 5/5 :)

Hey, this app is really good, I didn't even know that my phone can run 60 fps, now I can watch it all day, the smoothness of 60fps without any lags. But we 90 and 120 fps for phones which can run 90 and 120 fps, my new phone have 90Hz screen refresh rate I think we can probably run 90 fps in some of games, so to check 90 fps we definitely need some updates in this, yes it shows that my screen refresh rate 90 but only 60 fps shows, its definitely not nice that you can't show 90 or 120 fps.

The app is a bit misleading. I can COMPARE 30fps vs 60fps but I won't see much difference between real 30fps (not slowed down) and 60fps. The picture is "jumpy" as the gaps are different on 30fps. And my eye is able to see even up to 400fps... on its edge where resolution is way lower (for an adult). The thing is you would only notice "something" to appear there. 60fps is just a better frequency on side area...
