This definitely looks like a slick app for sure. I think its accurate within 1.5 mph and I forget how accurate on the G measurement.

Google search suggests that some users seem to have this issue, some don't. Mine did stick on one calibration screen. Still works, tried it in my wife's car - pretty cool little app. It calibrates before each run anyway. If I see any more info I'll post here.

My goodness. I'm going to check it out more thoroughly and read what's above more thoroughly. Just leaving the house, but I'll be checking back in on this thread.
