For over a year now I have been running SD on an original iPad and enjoying the benefits of such a good piece of software.

However, I'm now using the latest version of the iPad SD (late Dec release) on the same iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and have found that the SD software constantly crashes out on me. I've tried this on the ground and in air, only to find the same results. Whether I'm in plan mode or GPS navigation mode, it just keeps on happening!

I've restarted the iPad, shutdown all other apps -- all to no avail. On today's flight in MVFR the longest that I managed to keep SD running in Navigation Mode was about 5 minutes and the shortest time was 15 seconds. According to the logs I have about 20 flights logged in the space of 90 minutes, mainly from "unknown to "unknown" , as I tried to restart SD in mid flight.

SD is a fantastic piece of software but I'm not able to rely on this latest iPad release whereas in the previous version I may have experienced a crash on the odd occasion and was happy to live with that.

I've be thinking about purchasing the iPad mini but will be putting that on hold and returning to the Navsgo as my main SD device. What a shame as SD and iPad ae made for each other.

Is anybody else experiencing the same problems?

No, you haven't received such a message from our support. We have not yet submitted anything to Apple.

I can say that we've been beta testing a version which we believe fixes the regression in stability that a few people have been experiencing in v2.5 for iPad. We've still got just a few places open on our iPad beta programme so if a couple of people in this thread who've been having bad crashing could get in touch via our contact page preferably within the next few hours, I can get a beta build to you this evening and you can verify.

Thank you Tim.

I think mesages such as yours here are pivotal in focussing our efforts to help you get this bug sorted out sooner than later.

It is also for this very reason and firm belief in the SD Team's ability that my subscription does not expire until end of 2015!

Is it advisable to add "SD iPAD stability" current thread to this thread here as it appears to be discussing the same issue?

Have a Happy New Year all of you at the SD Team.
