How to use it

Tilt, movement and the compass show live at once.

Location, microphone and camera ask before they start.
- Check the numbers
A reading that never moves, or jumps, points to a sensor problem.
Tips
- Lying still
A phone lying on a table should read close to 0.00 g of movement.
- Wobbly compass
If the heading swings, keep away from magnets and move the phone in a figure 8.
- Missing sensors
Light, the raw magnetic field and air pressure are only open to apps.
