Thanks for opening an issue with us, we will look into this. Does it work if you remove the multiple: true option?

[DrSensor]

Yes it work, but its behaving like radio option

This is actually on purpose. In the documentation for Select here: http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/components/select/Select/#multiple-value-checkboxes

It states:

Note: the action-sheet and popover interfaces will not work with a multi-value select.
