About Insane Rockets APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Records video, captures data, and helps tracking down landing location when installed in a high powered (G and higher motor) hobby rocket or weather balloon.Warning: Launching rockets or weather balloon with a phone onboard is risky and a mishap could destroy the phone! Make sure you read the entire first Help section.
Before going further, as a backup procedure, it is recommended that you Login to google and go to https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager. Make sure your phone is showing proper location prior to launch.
Limitations:
• Prior to launching, if using your phone to assist in recovery with GPS, confirm your phone has a GPS - telemetry GPS derived by wifi will not operate in the field. Limitations may vary depending on the android device you have. These may include: Max Gs reported, inclusion of Barometer data, speed of instrument updates, and resolution of video/audio data.
• Gs: The values of older phones typically are maxed on each axis at 2Gs. Some of the newer phones have a range max between 2Gs and 16Gs.
Features:
• Real time telemetry data on landing to help you find the location of your rocket/payload. This data is sent over the cell network so you don't need any additional hardware.
• Records on most modern android phones at 4K or 1080p. It takes around a second to "warm up" the video camera on launch. You can however, command from another phone, to prerecord so you get video "off the rail."
• Records telemetry data: 3 Axis Gs, Gyroscope, Barometer & derived Velocity, GPS, Magnetometer, and phone's battery temperature.
• On landing, you can configure Insane Rockets to automatically upload high resolution telemetry data. Before you even recover your rocket/payload the data is there for your review.
• When viewing the data, you can optionally load it into Google Earth for a full 3D map of your flight.
Speech:
This is primarily for GRMS or HAM radio attached to phone for non-cell network areas or if your phone is not provisioned. I also find that it is nice to "hear" it in the video at apogee.
• For rockets, at launch, altitude, every thousand feet obtained is spoken, skipping as necessary for fast and high ascents.
• At apogee final altitude, velocity, and the amount of revolutions during ascent are spoken.
• At routine intervals, bearing & distance, altitude, GPS location, descent rate, max altitude, max velocity, and your GRMS or HAM call sign are spoken.

Recommended older phones with barometers:
The Nexus 5x handles 16Gs per axis, and can record 4k video. It is recommended to use this phone or newer phones.
If you purchase your "launch phone" on the same carrier as your "main phone", you can put your sim card in it during flight. Then use a friend's phone to view landing location! You can use an adapter like this to resize your sim card: http://www.amazon.com/MediaDevil-Simdevil-Adapter-Micro-Standard/dp/B00G26XWDI?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Make sure that you assemble your rocket/payload in the shade to avoid phone overheating.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
