While the Zio is a pretty good "cheap enough" Android, there were some manufactured with the screen calibration is a bit off. The battery life isn't the greatest. That's on the Sprint Zio SCP 8600.
The Cricket model is different.

I have no idea who originally wrote this app, but they get all the credit.

This is legit. The Moderators here can vouch for me.

Enjoy.

It says I can't download it! Why? Also, it says unsupported content!
