Hi Raul, I would suggest having a sighted person observe when you are flicking. Make sure the screen curtain is off. With the larger real-estate of the iPad, the chances for user variation increase exponentially. A few various experiments performed over the years consistently demonstrate that, though blind people believe they are moving straight, they are veering in a certain direction. When sighted people have their vision blocked, they do the same thing. The majority of research around this can be found in O&M spatial awareness and blind people, and some information can be found be found when searching for information around blind people drawing straight lines on paper.
If your iPad is not making errors whilst you are touching various places on the display, I would tend to suspect user spatial awareness error.
