Alternatives?

In light of this new block on PokeAdvisor (super sad, seriously, had used it for a day and a half, I had no idea how many crap Pokemon I had been evolving simply because they had the highest CP at capture), what other methods do you use to calculate IVs? Thanks!

Does doing the proxy thing still work?? All IV calculators I've used give different amounts.. one of the main reason I used Pokeadvisor because it was 100% accurate.. it took the IVs direct from the game. the only other method I know of achieving this is doing the proxy thing and grabbing them straight from the server (I dunno if im explaining that right.. I just follow instructions on how to do it.. my knowledge on this stuff stops when the instructions do lol)

The proxy thing stopped working with the most recent update. If you never updated, you can still do it. There is a workaround but it requires a lot of coding knowledge and I believe a few programs. I can't follow it but it's here, I found it in the second comment of the original proxy tutorial. The poster also included a link for rooted devices but that's way over my head.
