just updated to latest version for ipad from app store,

Have noticed that after update - i press go flying and i just get message (seeking gps satellites) and nothing happens. No satellite lock

Also my last logged flight before update - i press show breadcrum and skydemon crashes to desktop.

i have over 60hrs logged with skydemon on ipad and find the software fantastic,

Like new skratchpad 2nd page and skydemon 2 map,

Hope there is fix for the 2 issues i found as i hope to use ipad when flying at weekend.

Hi everyone, I like most people it seems jumped the gun a little and went ahead and downloaded the latest update of Skydemon to my iPad3 (New iPad) thinking all the Beta testing had been done and all would be ok as is normally the case. Alas it seems one big bug has squeezed through the quality control net! Same errors as all and a big Green Banner "Seeking GPS Satellites"
I guess most of you like me are looking forward to the weekend and with a bit of luck some flyable weather with the good old Skydemon on my knee for assistance. (Oh no back to using the chart!!!)

All is not lost if you have an iPad and iTunes on a PC or Mac, can't verify if this will work on a PC as I use a Mac but I can't see why it wouldn't.

1. Open iTunes and DO NOT select the option to update any of your Apps.
2. On your iPad close Skydemon, double click the home button then click the - (minus) on the App icon.
3. Click the home button again and this will take you to the home screen, find the Skydemon icon and hold your finger down on it until wobbles and a x (cross) appears then click the cross, this will delete it from your iPad.
4. Connect your iPad to your computer and select the device in the left hand pane and wait for it to sync, (this will sync it up minus the new updated version of Skydemon)
5. After the sync is complete look through your list of Apps and you will see Skydemon app is not ticked, (providing you have not updated your Apps through iTunes) then this is the old version before the update.
6. Tick the Skydemon App, click apply bottom right and then click sync, this will install the version before the update with the bug in it.

You will end up having to set it back up as all waypoints etc will be lost but at least you will be able to take that flight and planning the easy way with your old trusty Skydemon companion!

Hope this helps and Happy Safe Flying

Thank you Timothy and Nigel. That has worked a treat and am back to the old version. Off to go flying now to have a play with it before it gets dark!!
