Was beginning to wonder if this forum was still alive. Just waiting to get home to play with it (the software), bit worried about not having a magnet to 'click', anybody found a way around that yet?

I use idroid:com snikebyte config as mouse and work perfectly.

The app is pretty cool. Flying around in Google Earth feels pretty awesome. I can't wait so see what they do next.

You can also just "double-click" or push and pull on the screen - no need for a bluetooth controller or a magnet on my Nexus 5.

Yeah, I just touch the screen with my finger.

Hope they make some updates soon.
I wish I could controll Google Earth with Snakebyte Idroid controller. GE is crashing after a few minutes. (Galaxy S5.)
Also watch my Youtube videos.
And view photospheres from others.

I wish I could control anything with my idroid.

STrange that GE crashes on your S5. My S3 handles it just fine. Windy day doesn't work at all though.

Hey,
everything works fine with my Nexus 5 and I can even "control" (just forward flying) google Earth via the Idroid Snakebyte. Only one direction of one of the sticks seems to me mapped / supported.

Awesome app nevertheless and shows again how much potential there is.
