        Are you using Jelly Bean? I’ve gotten reports about that issue. I don’t have a Jelly Bean device yet so I can’t work on fixing it yet, but I’m trying to get my hands on one. Hope I’ll be able to resolve this quickly.

            Max, do you have some sort of file explorer installed? If not, try installing Astro file manager and see if it still crashes.

      I know I’m late to the game, but thank you for this! It will really help people who can’t be in front of their coaches every day (like me!).

    Do you plan on bring this to iOS? As far as I can tell neither Uber Sense or Coaches Eye do bar tracking.

    when my video loads it tracks the bar fine but the video is oriented like I’m using my phone in a normal position and not sideways like I’m I would use it to watch a movie so the comparison with vertical path doesn’t line up. ( vertical path on bar goes this way I, and vertical path is shown this way —- on my phone.
    I have the Samsung Alpha which runs Android OS, v4.4.4 (KitKat)
    Hope I gave you the information you need.
    Cheers
