Quit working so I paid for it then became completely unusable on my Nexus6. I want my money back.

Works well, easy to use, smooth display. I recommend it.

The Aircraft Compass incorrect work at Google Nexus 9, but other applications from Sensorworks work well. Please, fix this problem...

A compass that works is an achievement; its a pity that the phone magnetometers don't match up to it. I have 5 different phones that display different headings in magnetic mode!!! Love the smooth action.

Works perfectly in the GPS derived Ground Track mode.. but nothing ( yet) in the magnetic compass mode on my new Tab2.. I am so very pleased with the VOR app from Sensorworks.. that I am giving it 5 stars anyway.. and hope the lack of magnetic compass funtion is either my fault.. or will be cured in an update for my Tab2 Very nicely damped, great graphics, easy to use. I probably have the latest version of icecream sandwich in my Tab2 ( purchased feb 2013)... that or the fact this android thing is completely new to me could be the problem. I'm getting the gyro horizon app from sensorworks.
