User reviews

Not accurate

Fixed at 60-65 no matter where I put my phone

Meh

Seems to work OK at first try.
No idea how accurate it is. The details said it can be calibrated, but there is no option to do this.
Only works in portrait mode.
Gauge display could be 2-3 times larger on the screen, as huge space around it (this is on iPad - may be different on phone with smaller screen).
