Motion help

Try to hold the motion gate button for one or two seconds, so it is going to open the motion tutorial before you open the cube. You can skip it by clicking on the red X if you already know how to use the motion commands. And then you can flip your phone left and right to open the aplication you want. I use the motion tool basically for audio, to change the radio station or to jump audio tracks while walking or running without pushing any button.
If you want, you can change the options on the cube, just go to menu>settings>motion settings>motion gate. there you can choose the double tapping to take a photo, for example.

Hope this post can be useful
