The G-Bowl is a training tool that allows anyone to improve their driving skills by driving without dropping the ball. The real G-Bowl made of resin was released in Japan in 2009 and is still widely used for driver education by automobile manufacturers, bus companies, cab companies, and others. G-Bowl Basic is an app version of this real G-Bowl, and we hope that many drivers will use it. How to use 1. Park in a place that is as level as possible.
2. Place your smartphone in the car (you can also stand it on a holder, etc.).
3. Launch this app (the level will be set automatically).
4. Start driving. A warning sound will sound when the ball falls out of the bowl while driving. The goal is to drive from your house to your destination without dropping the ball even once. When you are able to do that, your passengers will feel comfortable and safe. There are three types of balls: oil-filled balls, yarn balls, and ping pong balls. The oiled ball, which is the hardest to drop, is the default. Function - A warning sound alerts the user when the ball falls.
- Five types of warning sounds can be selected. - Touching a ball changes the ball type. - The level button (wave icon) re-sets the level at any time. - Pinch to zoom, drag to adjust position. - Lock button (lock icon) to lock the layout. - Camera button toggles camera mode (Auto or Top-down). - The phone can be placed vertically or horizontally. Hint You will find that in order not to drop the ball, you must not only drive by feeling the G's, but you must pay attention to your surroundings, drive predictably, and maintain a safe distance from your car. By the time you feel confident that you can drive anywhere without dropping the ball, your driving will have changed to something great.
