In iOS you can only email the session, in Android you can send the session string to any app that will receive it. My favorite is Dropbox in this instance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Drop to stop<\/strong>. Kind of a silly name in retrospect, but if your device you&#8217;re timing with is on a table, you can slam the cube down as if you&#8217;re timing with a stackmat and the timer will stop. This uses the device&#8217;s accelerometer to detect a sudden Z change and stop the timer. I&#8217;m really psyched about it. The tweet above was an accidental reference to this. Wait until you see a video, you&#8217;ll be wowed I&#8217;m sure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s $0.99 on the <a title=\"Play Store\" href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/jaZhrL\" target=\"_blank\">Google Play Store<\/a>. I feel like some one is going to complain instantly in their head about the price to which I have this response. It&#8217;s a dollar, you pay once, you own it forever, you&#8217;ll get all future updates, you can use it whenever you want, you can uninstall and resinstall it indefinitely. Consider for a second the things you buy which cost more and you get much less out of, a candy bar, a soda, a movie ticket. It&#8217;s just a dollar.
