It works slightly better on my Samsung Galaxy s tablet than it does on my droid RAZR. The developer is super helpful. Display settings have to be on as bright as the device will allow. The app is very sensitive and the user has to spend some time getting to know it. The readings, though, match those on my active eye meter.
