OMG, it's been asked repeatedly and the answer is still the same.

If your Android device's OS is previous to 4.2 it will work just fine. If your device is running OS 4.2 or newer it will not work.

OMG calm down!

I already said it worked from an OS perspective.

Thanks buddy. And might i say, this is a very cool app. Can't wait to start using it at the track. Based on this alone in thinking about moving a lot of my gear over to Tekin.

So if you know it works, why bother asking the same question again?

Not all phones (regardless of the OS) support OTG at the hardware level. I seen a real life example of this the past weekend. The model of the phone escapes me at the moment.

Cable length should not matter (just more opportunity to get damaged I suppose). However, if you look at the pinouts for an OTG cable (google it), you'll see that a proper cable makes use of the otherwise un-used "Sense" pin on the micro USB connector. Some shoddy cables claiming to be OTG cables/adapters do not take this connection to ground and thus don't work.

Nothing wrong with plugging into an esc

I know on the Nexus 5 with 4.4 it's not working. I also have been told the Nexus 5 has some issues with OTG in general.

Do not solder on the cables. It's far better to pick up the correct one.
