It requires GPS. Crashes on my tablet. Also, see their Facebook. They publicly post GPS location of winners, together with StreetView. Is that stated in the app? It can be a privacy concern. com.carrotpop.www.smth E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requested provider gps doesn't exisit at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1429) at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1379) at android.location.ILocationManager$Stub$Proxy.requestLocationUpdates(ILocationManager.java:646) at android.location.LocationManager._requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.java:660) at android.location.LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.java:482) at com.ansca.corona.CoronaSensorManager$1.run(CoronaSensorManager.java:163) at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:615) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4745) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:786) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:553) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

They are assuming all Android devices have GPS. Is it common for tablets to have GPS? btw, I see com.ansca.corona.CoronaSensorManager in the exception stack trace, suggesting this app was written in Lua using Ansca Corona.

man, you've tried it with tablet! How big your tablet is? I think they should appropriately rescale scores for the weight and aerodynamics of the object being thrown.

  >the weight and aerodynamics of the object being thrown Somehow I doubt that's included in the Android API. ;)

    aerodynamic is calculatable from deceleration which is sum of gravitational "g" plus aerodynamic "Cx" multiplied by square proportional to the speed. The weight is known for a given model of device.

      >The weight is known for a given model of device. By "known", I assume you mean "known, assuming you want to track down (an trust!) the specs of the ~4,000 different Android devices", correct?
