Last three trips when connecting to SkyEcho I get warning that Flarm signals are not being received and I should update SkyDemon on Goggle Play. Goggle Play does not suggest there is an update and opening App from Goggle Play starts SkyDemon immediately with no noticeable download. Other GA traffic alerts are showing on tablet with verbal traffic information through headset .

They are working on a fix...

Very pleased with battery performance ,screen clarity and best of all able to hear speech alerts through radio music input which were inaudible with iPhone. Hopefully Flarm will be resolved soon.

In fact, it didn't even connect to my skyecho2. Adding a new step to my pre-flight - ensure that SD and the SE2 talk properly.

However, looking at Google Play (which I admit I'm not familiar with) I can only see a download for the full Sky Demon app - not an update. I don't particularly want to download the whole thing again and anyway, the latest update to SD wasn't anything to do with Flarm. How come an update hasn't been offered when starting up SD, in the usual way? Any ideas where to obtain an update to deal with this problem?

I Group: Forum Members Posts: 34, Visits: 1	Thank you. Yes the update appears to have worked. My iPad offers updates and asks if I want to install them. However the Android tablet has not offered any updates, hence it being out of date. You have go go onto Google Play and look for updates. Not sure how you are supposed to know that it’s due an update.

If you dismiss that message box, you won't see it again until there's an even newer version. I believe you can set Google Play to update apps automatically but I'm not an expert on their store.
