Testing your Smartphone
When you install the App it may ask you to "Run Tests", if the server doesn't have a preset for this model, yet. This test will take 1 to 5 minutes to complete and at the end you get a result. A test result of 240 FPS indicates that your phone might work well. A result of 120 FPS indicates that it might work for serves only. A failed test indicates that the SPINSIGHT beta App doesn't work on your smartphone. You can restart "Run Tests" with a fully charged battery if the first try fails.
To test if the measurement is actually working you need to measure spin with it using a SPINSIGHT ball for several minutes. Some smartphones don't deliver the required image quality. Some smartphones don't deliver the required processing power for a longer duration of time. Some smartphones can only measure slow balls reliably.
