Hi guys.

I was wondering if anyone has had much success sideloading Skydemon on a Kindle Fire HD or HDX. I know the devices dont have GPS, but for flight planning, it would be really nice if it worked.

My wife has just got a Kindle Fire HD, and I downloaded the APK from Google Play using APK Downloader app on the play store on my Samsung Galaxy S3. The APK installs after allowing non Amazon app store applications to be installed. However, when you run it, it looks like its about to load, but just goes back to the Kindle interface.

I cant see any logs. I suppose I'll need to investigate further with the Android SDK and developer options enabled. Sure would be nice if I could get at least the flight planning stuff working on it.

Many thanks,
Paul.

pmcenery did you ever get any further with this?
The size of this device is ideal for a flexwing.  I have a Nexus 7 but it is just a bit too big, and an iPhone6 is too small for feeble eyesight (the iPhone6+ is OK but I don't really want that in my pocket).  At under £100 the Fire is the right size and a bargain!
So I'm hoping you persisted....
