I have found the BR calibration experience to be consistently exasperating.
Suggested improvements:
There should be feedback when the instrument successfully calibrates an axis. As of now, you find out at the end if all your calibrations were accepted. If even one was missed, you start the torture all over again. It would be nice if the display told the user which axes are completed. (Or maybe I'm doing something wrong...) (EDIT: A solid green light comes on once the axis has been accepted. I missed this because I do the procedure once a month, because the virtual buttons on my phone are so insensitive that they rarely respond to being pressed, and I don't get the green light at the end of the last axis.)
The Record Axis (virtual) button is too close to other virtual buttons, any of which will restart the calibration. This fat fingers effect is especially frustrating, since one is normally in some haste to smash the record Axis button before it turns off. (EDIT: My wife lent me her button pushing style.)
Please understand that I normally perform the procedure at night, before a launch, and my neighbors object to being awakened by my screams.
(EDIT: If the device knows when everything is aligned, why can't it automatically accept the calibration without my button-pushing intervention?)
