FaRu1, we have tens of thousands of Android users. If something is fundamentally broken, we soon know about it.

The nature of Android is that there are many different devices out there, many of which have slightly tweaked versions of Android on them written by the vendor of the device. That is why we sometimes see different performance problems and other different issues on Android, usually isolated to a particular vendor, device, Android version or combination of the three. That is the most common reason why somebody would experience an issue on Android where they wouldn't on iOS.

We will release another Android beta later this week. ‌‌

That's a great clue, Paul!
‌They should be able to track down the change that is causing the performance problems.

I have a Motorola Moto G5 Plus and map panning and zooming is really sluggish.

‌‌I've tried different versions, including the baseline version posted above, with not much difference in performance. The latest current version (3.7.1) seems a little faster for me (albeit still slow), and the latest beta (3.8.0.22878) seems a little bit slower again.

‌‌‌Enabling "Force GPU rendering" also didn't improve performance.

‌On my 5-year old iPhone (which is otherwise super slow), Skydemon it's totally smooth.

I have been using the 3.8.0 version on 4 separate flights, ranging from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, and SD performed brilliantly! Not a hitch. The only small thing  (I can live with), is the slowness of the georeferenced plates displaying.

Thanks‌ Tim and your team for not giving up!
Cheers,
