My Samsung Fit has a smaller screen. The start button doesn't appear & I can't use the app. Maybe a future update can fix this problem.

Downloaded and installed twice because it only opens the accelerometer.

Now, let's try putting the phone on a roller coaster, then putting the accelerometer data into a 3-D model...

Being able to record accelerometer data is just the start. This app has lots of possibilities for a science educator.

The accelerometer shows data, but it doesn't make sense. None of the other modes show anything. So unless I'm missing something important, it doesn't work - at least on the Incredible.

One day I will be somewhere where strapping my phone to something and collecting data would be handy. This app is for that day. Works well.
