What's changed in the latest version of Sky Demon for Android? I have SD loaded on a few of my Android tablets. The one I normally use in the aeroplane is a 2012 Nexus 7. I also have a 2013 Nexus 7 which I've now tasked for use in the aeroplane. The 2013 Nexus is set to auto update, and has updated Sky Demon to 3.7.1.28802.  Even on the faster Nexus, scrolling around the map or zooming in and out is now painfully slow and often locks up with the message "Sky Demon is not responding" or such. This also happens in the air, and it also seems to lock up for some seconds when you change direction. Luckily my 2012 Nexus is set to manual update and I haven't updated the app. I am on 3.7.0.27593. This works fine and the scrolling and zooming are ok.

A‌ friend who has as Asus 173 (same architecture as the 2012 Nexus 7) has auto update, it's updated and is barely useable on that.
‌‌‌
S‌o what did you do from 3.7.0 to 3.7.1 and can it be undone?

Android is not as good as iOS. Even as it is, it takes us much more work to get SkyDemon for Android to be a similar standard to SkyDemon for iOS. I am happy to hear that the latest beta improves the speed issues that many people have been experiencing.

If you believe the latest beta is performing significantly worse than the latest public version (as a couple of people have indicated) please revert to the latest public version (you can install it from our website) and re-test to make sure.

By all means save $$$ by choosing Android over iOS, but please do not expect the same level of quality from the operating system.‌‌

Sorry Tim, but why shouldn't we expect the same from your software on two platforms you sell it for, especially as the price for both version is the same? 

Cheers‌,

The operating system worked ok with Sky Demon 3.7.0.27593....

T‌he beta is better (!) than the latest full release, but as mentioned, both the release reversion and the beta version‌ slow down as they're used, as mentioned, like something is filling up. This didn't happen in 3.7.0 as far as I remember.

I‌'ve found another problem with the Beta, it crashes when you bring up a Metar.‌
