Also gets false opens by RF link on charges, though telemetrum indicates charge continuity.

It's nice for receiving data on the flight line but lacks features compared with the PC software. Specifically I would like the ability to fire pyros, configure the altimeter and monitor idle mode. Also it doesn't appear to save the flight data. This is not a big deal if you recover your rocket but it would be a very useful feature to have. Bottom line : it's a nice app but not a full replacement for the PC software.

Walked me right to my rocket which had landed 1.5 miles away in the sagebrush. Never would have found it otherwise.

Works seamlessly with my Telemega. The ability to use my Android's GPS to walk to rocket after touchdown is great, and is nicely integrated into app.

I'm a hardware/software developer myself, so I'm picky when it comes to reviews. I own both a Walston and Big Red Bee units; the combination of a Telemetrum, TeleBT, and AltosDroid puts the others to shame. Five stars for best in class. I'd like to give it 4.5 since AltosDroid won't receive data unless the telemetrum is in pad mode (at least for me I get nothing over Bluetooth in idle mode, although idle works fine on a direct USB connection to a laptop) but 5 for being the best there is.

Love your app, can't wait to put it to use! Keith and Bdale helped me recover my rocket at NSL.
