Thanks, this is awesome. I would love if there was a "roulette wheel" widget to choose the probability, in order to better visualize the equivalent bet test.
I'm not sure I get what kind of roulette you mean... something like a ring pie chart?
I thought of using a target, but I'm not sure if that would be much more effective than the sliding bar.
Really fantastic idea. I would suggest adding a way to tag predictions so that you can see how accurate you are within a particular domain. I would also suggest adding a way to see your accuracy over different timeframes (in order to view improvement). With those two features, this would definitely be an app I'd be willing to buy.
Thanks! I'll look into adding tags and timeframes. I'm not sure how to do that without the layout getting too crowded.
Sounds nice. Making predictions about personal events makes more sense to me than predicting e.g. elections or sport events (beauce a) I don't know anything about it, and b) I don't care about it). But I don't like the idea of making them (all) public, like on prediction book. Though a PredictionBook integration sounds like an obvious fancy feature.
And I liked what I saw the one second I could use the app ;-)
After installing, it crashed pressing "save" on the first prediction. Now it chrashed right on startup. I get to see the app for a moment, but I can't do anything. After deleting the data (from the android setting) I can make a new prediction, but again, it crashes after pressing "save".
I installed from the apk-link you provided.
I've got a Moto G (2. Generation) with Android 5.0.2.
Hope that helps. And if anyone can tell me how to diagnose the problem in more detail, I'd be interested in that, too.
Check the link below, v0.2. Should be working now!

I like it! Thoughts from 30 seconds of playing around:
Design-wise, it's great apart from that. Both of your proposed features would be worthwhile too.
Thanks!
It's a Moto X (2nd gen) with Android 5.1, so not particularly low-end. It is most obvious if I slide only just fast enough for the inertia to take it between tabs, then it appears to get confused as to which one is highlighted at the crossover point.
As an exercise on programming Android, I've made an app to log predictions you make and keep score of your results. Like PredictionBook, but taking more of a personal daily exercise feel, in line with this post.
The "statistics" right now are only a score I copied from the old Credence calibration game, and a calibration bar chart.
I'm hoping for suggestionss for features and criticism on the app design.
Here's the link for the apk (v0.4), and here's the source code repository. You can download it at Google Play Store.
