The app renders poorly on the phone (font size issues) and when trying to download a chart, it crashes. As one cannot enter the app without downloading at least one chart, I could not test any further.

Fortunately the 4.4 upgrade came after I arrived back. But it's now broken and we need pretty sharp support to get moving again. I just tried the URL but I got a message to say my Nexus can't accept a download.
