*** These phones used to be compatible with the Sleipnir wind meter, but our latest software updates conflict with recent updates by Sony.
IMPORTANT: Sleipnir requires a digital compass sensor on your phone to measure wind direction! If you’re using a old phone that is not on this list and probably has no digital compass Sleipnir might still work displaying only the wind speed.
